On-Hertz

What On-Hertz does

On-Hertz SA is a Belgian private software company founded in 2018 that develops audio-first production software for broadcast and media organizations, with a registered headquarters in Mons (Hyon), Belgium. The company targets professional TV and radio broadcasters as well as corporate media teams, replacing legacy hardware-dependent production infrastructure with browser-accessible, IP-native software. Its product portfolio centers on Artisto, a modular, microservices-based software audio engine with a node-based pipeline designer and open API; Nubo, a cloud-based radio production studio supporting remote WebRTC contributors and SIP integration; and Voice-Booth, a cloud-based interview and podcast recording solution with 64-bit floating point audio processing. Supporting components include Panels (an interface designer for Artisto) and the On-Hertz Hub (centralized administration for distributed Nubo deployments). The platform supports standard broadcast and streaming protocols (ST 2110, SIP, WebRTC, SRT, NDI, HLS, Icecast) and integrates with hardware controllers via MIDI, MIDI RTP, Ember+, and Cerebrum.

On-Hertz monetizes through a mix of revenue streams: perpetual software licenses, time-limited subscription licenses, SaaS access for cloud products, professional services (digital transformation roadmap co-creation, integration, training), and ongoing support and maintenance. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers, and contract terms can extend to multi-year engagements. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a global network of regional distributors across Belgium, Canada, Germany, the Nordics (Norway, Sweden, Denmark), Switzerland, and the United States, supplemented by participation in major broadcast industry events such as IBC. The company has a self-serve SaaS entry point through Nubo and Voice-Booth for mid-market and SMB customers, while large broadcasters engage via custom enterprise sales.

The company's customer base includes prominent European broadcasters Canal+, DPG Media, Radio France, RFI, RTBF, RTL Belgium, SVT, and VRT. On-Hertz has received industry recognition including 2024 RedTech Awards for Nubo and Voice-Booth, and a Radio World Best of Show award at IBC for the now-deprecated Lumo product. The company has no publicly disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and a small team of 1-10 employees, indicating a capital-efficient, organically scaled operating model.

Core offering

On-Hertz develops audio-first production software for TV, radio, and corporate broadcasting organizations. Its Artisto platform functions as a modular software audio core supporting mixing, routing, processing, and control of broadcast audio, with ST 2110 IP-native architecture and open APIs. Cloud products Nubo (cloud radio studio) and Voice-Booth (cloud interview/podcast studio) enable browser-based remote production with WebRTC and SIP contribution.

Product overview

On-Hertz is an audio-first production software company serving broadcast and media organizations with a portfolio of four main products. Artisto serves as the core software audio engine/platform with a modular node-based architecture for routing, mixing, processing, and controlling audio across TV, radio, and corporate production. Nubo is a cloud-based radio production studio accessible via web browser for remote live broadcasting. Voice Booth provides cloud-based interview and podcast recording with professional DSP. Lumo was a mobile radio broadcasting software but is now deprecated, with users redirected to Artisto and Panels for equivalent workflows. Panels acts as an add-on interface designer for Artisto. The On-Hertz Hub provides centralized administration for managing Nubo users and studios. The products are available via on-premises deployment, cloud/SaaS subscription, or hybrid models, and integrate with SIP, WebRTC, ST 2110, NDI, and hardware controllers.

Direct peers

• Telos Alliance: US broadcast audio technology company spanning consoles (Axia), processing, codec, and streaming products (Omnia, Linear Acoustic). Overlap with On-Hertz is strongest in radio production, AoIP networking, and remote contribution tooling.
• Wheatstone Corporation: US-based broadcast audio equipment maker with AoIP consoles (LXE, Element) and processing solutions. Directly comparable to On-Hertz for radio broadcasting workflows and IP-audio routing, though historically hardware-centric and now repositioning toward software.
• Lawo: German-headquartered manufacturer of professional audio, video, and broadcast infrastructure including IP-native mixing consoles (mc², A__UHD Core). Most direct competitor to On-Hertz's Artisto in the IP-native broadcast audio production layer, serving the same tier of European and global broadcasters.
• Calrec Audio: UK-based broadcast audio console manufacturer (Apollo, Artemis, Type R for IP). Most comparable to On-Hertz for live TV and radio broadcast production workflows where IP-native, distributed operation is becoming table stakes.
• DHD Audio: German manufacturer of digital mixing consoles and routing systems for radio and TV broadcast production. Targets the same professional broadcaster customer segment as On-Hertz with overlapping product functionality (mixing, routing, processing, IP networked audio).
• Tieline Group: Australian remote broadcast codec manufacturer whose IP audio contribution gear overlaps with On-Hertz's cloud-based remote production (Nubo/Voice-Booth) for radio broadcasters covering live events and remote guests.
• Comrex: US maker of remote broadcast contribution codecs (Opus, ACCESS) and IP audio tools. Comparable to On-Hertz's Voice-Booth and Nubo for distributed remote guest and field reporting use cases in radio.

Broad incumbents

• Ross Video: Canadian broadcast production equipment maker offering a broad portfolio (production switchers, graphics, robotics, infrastructure). Overlaps with On-Hertz at the broadcast-facility layer where audio and video production systems are procured together, though On-Hertz is audio-specialized.
• EVS Broadcast Equipment: Belgian-headquartered leader in live broadcast video production infrastructure (LSM, XT servers). Comparable as a fellow Belgian-rooted broadcast technology vendor serving the same tier of large broadcasters, though focused on video rather than audio.

Emerging players

• AETA Audio Systems: French maker of audio codecs and IP remote contribution products (Mixx, ScoopTeam). Smaller competitor with overlapping remote-audio contribution use cases versus On-Hertz's Nubo and Voice-Booth cloud solutions.
