RAI Amsterdam Β· 11–14 Sept 2026

Qualabs at IBC 2026!

Your specialized media-tech engineering partner for building and scaling complex platforms. Working on C2PA, DRM, live streaming, or AI in production? Let's talk.

JP, Mica, David, Maggie & Emil will be on-site

What's coming up

The road to Amsterdam

Community moments before the show, plus our talks once we're on the ground at the RAI.

27AUG
πŸ§‰ Mate Talk Β· Online

AI in Media: Your asset travels. Its context doesn't.

Every AI tool you plug into your pipeline starts from zero β€” it doesn't know your library, your past decisions, or the context that took years to build. That context gets rebuilt from scratch every single time, and nothing ever compounds. We're getting into what it actually takes to change that.

9:00 AM PT Β· 1:00 PM UY

3SEP
πŸŽ™οΈ Tech Meetup Β· Online

C2PA on the Road to IBC2026

"Is this real?" is one of the biggest questions in the industry right now, with AI-generated media and deepfakes everywhere. C2PA is the open standard trying to answer it, and we're sharing what we've actually been building on it with Unified Streaming.

Extra Social Β· Thursday

Summer Camp Community Drinks β€” Amsterdam

Just hanging out before IBC starts, a chance to grab a drink with the crew, catch up, and enjoy some good vibes with the Summer Camp community.

Are you part of it? We'd love to see you there! πŸ₯‚

Details coming soon
12SEP
EBU Stage Β· 10–15 min

C2PA Meetup

Our contribution to the Common Media Library and its use in the demo, the toolkit, and our contribution to dash.js as an optional feature. Presented on the EBU Stage as part of Qualabs' sponsorship with EBU.

Joint demos at IBC2026

Built with our partners

MainConcept Booth 1.C15

From black box to full visibility: a perceptual quality score computed at encode time reaches a live, per-session dashboard intact β€” no extra network calls, no more guessing what a viewer is actually seeing.

MQA Perceptual Quality Real-Time Dashboard Zero Added Network Calls
AWS Booth 5.C90

AWS & Qualabs: a brand new product we're demoing together β€” more news soon.

EZDRM Booth 5.A50

Signs and authenticates live video content in real time β€” a cryptographic seal proving origin and integrity as AI-generated media and deepfakes make trust harder to assume.

C2PA Content Authenticity Live Signing
EZDRM Booth 5.A50

Real-time C2PA signing on every segment inside a live MoQ stream, with DRM protection layered on top β€” proof that trust, low latency and content protection can run together.

C2PA MoQ DRM
EBU Booth 10.D21

We're EBU partners this year: you'll find our C2PA work on the EBU Stage in Hall 10, alongside Unified Streaming and WDR β€” catch Unified Streaming at Booth 5.C68 too.

C2PA EBU Stage Unified Streaming
Oracle Booth 5.A21

Oracle OCI & Qualabs: getting live streaming to feel truly live has always meant choosing between low latency and reaching everyone at scale. We're showing what happens when you stop having to choose β€” more info soon.

Our accelerators

Built once, ready to run in your stack

Each accelerator started as a real problem we solved in production. It gives your team a proven base to customize, integrate, and run as part of your own stack.

LiveOps Copilot

Catches stream degradation live and tells you why β€” which CDN, device, or region β€” before your on-call team has to dig for it.

Video Tile Ads

Per-viewer ad placement inside the picture itself, not just between breaks β€” no re-encoding, no extra decoders, plays on any device.

Video Workflow QA

Plays known content through the pipeline you actually run and checks what comes back out β€” catching what a vendor's new version silently broke, before your viewers do.

What we do

We help Media & Entertainment companies and technology providers

Product Engineering

Teams that evolve alongside your platform. Our engineers accumulate deep knowledge of your architecture, constraints, and roadmap β€” contributing to how your product scales, not just what it ships.

Multiscreen OTT apps Media QC platforms Open source player development Analytics platforms

Platform & Infrastructure Engineering

The technical backbone that powers your operation. We design and evolve the systems that define your operational reliability β€” from encoding pipelines and DRM layers to data platforms and cloud infrastructure.

Encoding & orchestration VoD workflows DRM solutions Data platforms Cloud infrastructure

Specialized Engineering

Deep expertise where you need it most. We bring data engineering, DevOps, and reliability engineering expertise without expanding your permanent headcount β€” focused where your platform needs it.

Data engineering & analytics DevOps & reliability System performance tuning

Live Media Engineering Operations

Real-time infrastructure when it matters most. We operate your infrastructure during the moments that define your platform's reputation β€” monitoring, responding to incidents, and coordinating with CDNs and encoding providers.

Real-time monitoring Incident response Live event scaling CDN & provider partnerships

Applied R&D & Standards Engineering

Shaping what the industry builds next. We implement, test, and validate emerging specifications in production β€” contributing to C2PA, Open MoQ, and CMCD not because it's interesting, but because it's how we stay at the frontier.
