VidTech

VidTech is a technology conglomerate that specializes in video streaming, compression, and broadcasting solutions. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company grew from a small startup into a global supplier of video infrastructure for media outlets, telecom operators, and content creators.

The firm’s core services include real‑time video encoding, adaptive bitrate streaming, and cloud‑based media management. VidTech’s flagship product, StreamCore, is a scalable platform that supports high‑definition video delivery across multiple devices and is used by several national broadcasters and streaming services. In addition, the company offers consulting and custom hardware solutions for live event production.

Since the mid‑2010s VidTech has expanded through a series of acquisitions, including the purchase of a European video analytics vendor in 2017 and a cloud‑radio technology firm in 2020. These acquisitions broadened the company’s portfolio into AI‑driven content recommendation and low‑latency broadcast applications. VidTech has also been a founding member of the Open Streaming Alliance, promoting standards for media interoperability.

Critics have raised concerns about VidTech’s data handling practices, pointing to a 2019 data breach that exposed metadata from millions of video streams. The company has since enhanced its privacy protocols and published annual transparency reports.

Looking forward, VidTech aims to increase its market share in immersive media, such as virtual reality streaming, while investing in sustainability initiatives for its data centers.
