Infrastructure Backbone
Behind every digital experience is infrastructure that has to work. Our platform ensures uptime, observability, and support — from broadcast to backend.
We deliver SRE practices, GitOps, and OpenTelemetry pipelines across IPTV/OTT, subscriber systems, and IT.
“Carrier‑grade reliability meets digital‑grade agility.”

Ridsys Platform Layers
Four-layer platform architecture: Connect → Scale → Grow
How the platform keeps you reliable
Closed‑loop reliability: instrument, observe, act, and improve
Products that complement your rollout
Standards and integrations (project‑dependent)
We scope and implement only what your use‑case requires. Below are common building blocks we support and integrate when needed.
Streaming & packaging
- • LL‑HLS / LL‑DASH
- • CMAF ladders and DVR windowsCMAFCommon Media Application Format.Why it matters: Low‑latency streaming compatibility.
- • SSAI cue pointsServer‑Side Ad Insertion (SSAI)Stitching ads into streams server‑side.Why it matters: Better QoE and ad blocking resistance.
Transport & delivery
- • SRT / RIST
- • CDN orchestration and edge caches Edge CacheDistributed caching layer close to viewers.Why it matters: Cuts latency and stream rebuffering by serving assets near the edge.
- • Global routing and failover
Formats & network
- • AV1 / HEVC codecs
- • IPv6 dual‑stack readiness
- • HDR/SDR pipelines
Security & access
- • DRM and CASDigital Rights Management (DRM)Content protection for video.Why it matters: Protects OTT monetization.Conditional Access System (CAS)Controls subscriber access to encrypted TV content.Why it matters: Protects premium content and monetization.
- • Zero‑trust access controls
- • Audit logs and policy‑as‑code
