What StreamVX does
StreamVX Sp. z o.o. is a Gdańsk, Poland-based software product company that builds software-defined video infrastructure for pay-TV operators, cable MSOs, telcos, broadcasters, and venue networks. Founded in 2020, the company has grown to 25 specialist engineers and markets its vxOS platform and vxApps suite (vxTranscoder, vxOTT Gateway, vxDRM Gateway, vxCDN Server, vxFinder, vxVideo Wizard, vxSRT Gateway, vxFlex, vxQuality System) as a replacement for dedicated broadcast hardware headends. The platform is hardware-agnostic across x86, GPU (nVidia), FPGA, and ARM architectures and is deployable on-premises, in private cloud, or on AWS, with claims of packaging 200 live channels per server, 7x faster transcoding than live Just-in-Time benchmarks, and 17%+ storage savings via vxFinder.
The company's go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (a 'Book a demo' CTA is the primary demand-generation touchpoint) with regional channel partners: Sencore and DVEO in North America, SDT Electrónica in Central and South America, and Fibrazo in Colombia and Argentina. Revenue is generated through one-time perpetual software licenses paid over 24 or 36 months (after which the license becomes operator-owned property), tiered annual support subscriptions (Standard, Extended, Premium), professional services under SOW agreements, and managed/hosted service contracts. Multi-DRM support (Widevine, PlayReady, FairPlay) is delivered via the certified-Widevine vxDRM Gateway, and SSAI/FAST channel capabilities are positioned via vxVideo Wizard.
Named enterprise customers include Canal+, Nielsen, Asta Net, TOYA, Megacable (Mexico), Medianet (Maldives), Canella (United States), and Brightblue, with technology reportedly deployed across 35+ countries. StreamVX is privately held with no disclosed external institutional funding and is led by CEO Szymon Karbowski, COO Radosław Korpal, and Global Sales Director Marcin Deka. Industry recognition includes the 2023 Teraz Polska award (Best Products) and the 2023 Złota PIKE vendor award from the Polish Chamber of Electronic Communications.

Revenue model
- Software Licenses: Perpetual software licenses for vxApps products (vxTranscoder, vxOTT Gateway, vxDRM Gateway, vxCDN Server, etc.) sold as License Units per the Price List. Licenses are hardware-independent, non-transferable, and valid within the European Union. After 24 or 36 months of payment, the license becomes the operator's property. The GT&C states licenses may also be granted under separate published terms.
- Support Services: Standard, Extended, and Premium support service contracts. Standard covers Mon-Fri 9am-5pm with max 20 error-fix hours/month. Extended covers 12h/day with max 60 hours/month. Premium covers 24/7 with unlimited fixes. Support automatically renews annually unless 90-day notice is given. Priced per License Unit.
- Professional Services and Improvements: Custom Improvements and Professional Services performed under SOW (Statement of Work) agreements, including custom product adaptations, deployment, and configuration. Billed per SOW with payment proportional to work progress. Installation takes two weeks; full migration from existing headend takes weeks to three months.
- Managed/Hosted Services: On-premises or fully managed service options for OTT workflows. The company handles deployment, proactive monitoring, and quarterly updates as part of the service agreement. New feature versions of vxTranscoder, vxPackager, and vxStatMux are included in the service agreement rather than billed separately.
