Patchbay is the live video authoring & enrichment platform for business, events & broadcast. Produce broadcast-quality town halls, conferences, webinars & linear channels without a technical crew - and pay for it with your committed AWS spend through prepaid Patchbay Units.
WHY TEAMS CHOOSE PATCHBAY
Every other cloud production tool assumes a technical director behind the switcher. Patchbay's cloud automation handles video switching, graphics, remote speakers and scheduling, so a marketing or corporate communications professional runs a show that used to need a specialized crew. The platform is trusted for mission-critical programming with a 99.99% uptime SLA, broadcast quality up to 4K HDR at 120fps, and zero data breaches.
THREE WAYS TO GO LIVE
Core:
Receive, enrich & distribute a single live feed. Ingest via RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, Zixi, RIST or RTP; schedule concurrent and recurring programs; distribute to multiple destinations simultaneously.
Simulive:
Schedule flawless live playout from pre-recorded media - from a 30-minute session to a 24/7 linear channel - with real-time audience engagement.
Studio:
Combine live feeds, videos, graphics & remote speakers in a timeline-based run of show. Automated switching, green-room speaker management, and on-brand themes, no GFX hardware or crew. Studio sessions include remote presenters and 2 additional HD outputs.
ENRICHMENT & ACCESSIBILITY, ONE CLICK AWAY
Order human or AI enrichment inside the platform: AI captions in 40+ languages (98%+ accuracy), live translation in up to 100 languages, professional ASL/BSL/ISL sign language with picture-in-picture output, human captions and transcripts, audio descriptions, and CEA-608/708 broadcast caption injection (included when you use Patchbay live captions). Meet ADA, EAA & FCC standards automatically.
VOD ONLY? NO PROBLEM
Bring your content library: AI & human captions and transcription, translation & subtitles in up to 100 languages, AI & human dubbing, audio descriptions, sign language, and AI insights (summaries, chapters, sentiment, topics) - plus pooled media storage. Buy a VOD Pack and enrich at published rates; no live production required.
HOW PRICING WORKS
Buy a prepaid pot of Patchbay Units (1 Unit = $1 of rate-card value) as a Live or VOD package and draw it down against everything: sessions, enrichment, add-ons. Larger pots carry larger discounts. If you run out, metered overage keeps your events running at $1.00/Unit - no hard stops, no mid-year renegotiation. Unused Units roll over on renewal per our rollover policy. Worked example: a 3-day conference with 20 sessions, AI captions on everything, translation on 20% of sessions and sign language on 10% runs about 8,600 Units. See the full rate card under Resources.
ENTERPRISE-READY
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSM platform encryption, AES encryption in transit, IP allowlisting, alignment with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks, and 24/7 support tiers up to named Technical Account Manager (TAM) coverage.

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.

Pricing centers on prepaid Patchbay Units you draw down against sessions, enrichment and add-ons at published rates. One-month packs (Live Event, VOD) suit single events, limited to three per rolling year. Annual contracts (Live Team, Live Business, Live Enterprise, Live Enterprise Scale; VOD Growth, VOD Enterprise) scale by Unit volume, with larger commitments earning higher list savings. If usage exceeds prepaid Units, overage is metered monthly with no hard stops. Enterprise Platform adds security and SSO, required with most annual packages. Four support tiers (Bronze to Platinum) and one-time setup are priced separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What is one Patchbay Unit, and what does it get spent on?
A Patchbay Unit is a prepaid credit you draw down against items on the published rate card. You spend Units on live or on-demand sessions, enrichment (captions, translation, dubbing, audio description, AI insights), storage, and add-ons. Different items consume different Unit amounts at their published rates.
What happens if we use more than our prepaid Units during the term?
Usage continues without hard stops. Any usage beyond your prepaid Units bills through the Additional Patchbay Units overage dimension, metered monthly. You pay only for what exceeds your prepaid balance, so events are not cut off when Units run out.
Do I need to buy extra items on top of my Unit pack to use it?
It depends on the pack. One-month Live Event and VOD packs stand alone. Annual Live packages and VOD Enterprise require the Enterprise Platform layer plus a support tier (Bronze or higher). VOD Growth includes business-hours support, with Enterprise Platform and SLA tiers optional. One-time setup is purchased with your first contract.
