Overview

Zype is an AI-enabled, API-first video content management system designed for mission-critical streaming, offering a cloud-based platform to manage, deliver, and scale video across web, mobile, and OTT. The platform differentiates itself through full-stack capabilities including content management, playout, monetization, and analytics, with deep connectivity to social, CTV, OTT, web, and FAST/MVPD ecosystems. In 2022, Zype was acquired by Backlight, a media technology holding company backed by PSG, enabling substantial investment for product innovation. Additionally, Zype acquired MAZ Systems in 2021 to add no-code OTT app development, further strengthening its enterprise video publishing capabilities.
