Open Broadcast Systems CEO Kieran Kunhya discusses the company's shift toward distributed production workflows and the integration of AI to accelerate software development cycles. The company is focusing on low-latency encoding and expanded audio language support to meet the needs of remote production teams and large-scale streamers.
The shift toward decentralized production signals a permanent move away from heavy facility footprints for major streamers who prioritize software-defined agility over legacy hardware. By utilizing AI to implement complex specifications like Japanese subtitling in minutes rather than months, Open Broadcast Systems is drastically shortening the feedback loop between client requests and deployment. This capability allows streamers to scale global distribution rapidly, supporting dozens of audio tracks via ST 2110 without traditional infrastructure constraints. As Mobile TV Group and other partners adopt these leaner workflows, the industry should watch for whether AI-written mission-critical features maintain the 24/7 reliability required for tier-one live sports broadcasts.
The integration of agentic automation into media workflows is becoming a standard requirement for companies looking to reduce operational overhead in distributed environments.
Open Broadcast Systems is transforming distributed production by using AI to accelerate software development, cutting feature implementation time from months to thirty minutes. By deploying low-latency encoding on consumer-grade hardware, the company enables streamers to scale global operations rapidly, moving away from traditional, heavy facility footprints toward agile, software-defined workflows.
The company uses AI to reduce development cycles for features like Japanese subtitling from months to just thirty minutes and to automate customer support ticket fixes.
The company deploys low-latency encoding software on consumer-grade hardware, such as NUC Mini PCs, to support distributed production workflows.
The software-defined approach allows the same stack to run on massive facility systems or generic office NUCs using SRT, providing streamers with greater agility.
Remote operators can receive 10-bit 4:2:2 monitoring feeds with sub-200-millisecond latency over Gigabit fiber and Starlink connections.
