3Q is an API-first video infrastructure for developers and engineering teams who want direct control over their media backend. A REST video API and native player SDKs give you programmatic access to hosting, ingestion, encoding, live streaming, video-on-demand, and delivery, so you can build video portals, streaming apps, or OTT backends on a single European platform.
The stack is transparent by design. 3Q supports adaptive bitrate streaming over HLS and DASH with mixed HEVC and AVC codecs and automatic Live-to-VoD. Delivery runs over a proprietary global CDN, encryption, and HTTP/2 over TLS 1.3. The Cookie- and Consent-free HTML5 Video Player is barrier-free in accordance with WCAG 2.1/BITV 2.0 and needs no consent layer. Video AI exposes speech-to-text transcription, automatic subtitles, translation, and chapter markers through the same API, and integration fits your existing pipeline and video workflows.
What sets 3Q apart is ownership. 3Q runs on its own independent European video infrastructure, so your data stays in the EU and under German jurisdiction. 3Q is GDPR-compliant and all processes are ISO/IEC 27001 certified, with modular pay-as-you-go pricing and 24/7 support from real video experts.

Azure Content Protection
Establishing and configuring a DRM license server within your system can be quite challenging. However, Azure Content Protection simplifies this process by enabling you to deploy essential DRM license delivery options, including Microsoft PlayReady, Widevine, and FairPlay Streaming, in just a few minutes. You can specify the types of licenses you require, while we take care of the underlying infrastructure, security measures, and scalability needs. Azure Media Services also provides the capability for on-the-fly encryption for both video on demand (VOD) and live streaming, making it a more economical choice compared to conventional static encryption and packaging methods. This is because Media Services retains only one version of the standard multiple-bitrate MP4s and utilizes dynamic encryption techniques. Furthermore, in the event that your content key becomes compromised, you can easily invoke our APIs to update the key without having to re-encrypt your entire library, thus saving time and resources. This streamlined approach not only enhances security but also optimizes operational efficiency.
