Adaptive streaming with intelligent feature detection across 9 platforms
Native apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, and Apple Watch. Full hardware acceleration via VideoToolbox with Metal-based real-time tone mapping. EDR headroom detection for XDR displays ensures HDR content looks stunning on Pro Display XDR and MacBook Pro with Liquid Retina XDR.
Stream directly in your browser with automatic codec negotiation. HDR detection uses dynamic range media queries with Rec.2020 color gamut heuristics for XDR displays. Falls back gracefully to SDR with server-side tone mapping when needed.
Run on anything from a Raspberry Pi to a dedicated server. The server is a single binary with no runtime dependencies. Hardware transcoding dramatically reduces CPU usage but isn't required—software encoding works everywhere.
Pixelbrite plays Dolby Vision content on any device. On Dolby Vision-capable displays, you get the full HDR experience via native passthrough. On other devices, we automatically convert to SDR with accurate color reproduction using industry-standard tone mapping algorithms.
Stream at the quality your device and network support. Direct play preserves original quality with zero server processing. When transcoding is needed, hardware acceleration keeps CPU usage minimal.
Full support for modern audio formats with automatic transcoding when needed. Surround sound passthrough for home theater systems, stereo downmix for mobile devices.
Play virtually any video file format. The server automatically handles container conversion when needed, extracting streams without re-encoding when possible.
