What Pixop is

Pixop provides machine-learning video enhancement for broadcasters, streaming services, and media companies. Its two products address different workflows: Pixop FILE is a managed SaaS platform for archive-scale processing, while Pixop Prime is licensed software for live and file-based work in a customer cloud or on-premises environment. FILE can upscale and restore video, convert SDR to HDR10 or HLG, deinterlace footage, normalize frame rates, and convert color space. It accepts files through its web app, REST API, HTTPS, S3, or MAM integrations, and can deliver outputs to S3, pre-signed URLs, or a MAM system. Pixop documents a Mimir integration for submitting videos, starting jobs, and returning status updates and comments. Prime describes live enhancement with around 600 ms end-to-end latency and stages including deinterlacing, restoration, super resolution, inverse tone mapping, and color conversion. Pixop lists output resolutions up to 8K and supports batch processing. The 14-day trial has limited app features; users must set up billing before uploading, downloading, or processing videos. FILE charges for processing, storage, and downloads based on usage; Prime pricing is available by contacting Pixop.
