Pixop

Pixop is a cloud-based video enhancement service built for broadcasters and media companies rather than individual creators. Its core capability is AI-driven restoration and super-resolution, improving footage quality, upscaling resolution, and converting standard dynamic range video to HDR, applied either to archived content libraries or to live streams in near real time. The product splits into two offerings. Pixop File handles batch processing of stored video through a REST API or web application, built on AWS infrastructure, and is meant for remastering archives or standardizing quality across footage shot on different cameras and equipment over time. Pixop Live is designed for live broadcasts, running as a pre-encoding step inside an existing broadcast chain with latency the company states is around 600 milliseconds, low enough for live sports and events. Pixop is positioned as a way to raise video quality without buying new cameras or encoding hardware, since it works with whatever a broadcaster already has. The company says its tools are cloud-agnostic and require no changes to the existing pipeline. It reports more than 400,000 videos processed and seven years of production use, including a 4K broadcast of a FIFA World Cup match in Chile. The site does not disclose pricing, so cost for smaller broadcasters is unclear.
