Synamedia will demonstrate AI by Quortex, a new set of just-in-time AI capabilities for its Quortex portfolio, at the 2026 NAB Show. AI by Quortex identifies opportunities to create value and activates AI only when it delivers measurable benefits for video processing, distribution, and delivery, challenging the traditional always-on AI model.

Quick Intel

  • Synamedia introduces AI by Quortex, a just-in-time AI approach that activates intelligence only when it generates measurable value in video workflows.
  • The solution uses smart sampling to detect meaningful moments in live video streams before invoking foundation models via Amazon Bedrock.
  • This method can reduce live video understanding costs by up to ten times while supporting content moderation, clipping, metadata enrichment, and searchability.
  • AWS Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) enables region-of-interest detection without impacting video processing, improving visual quality and bitrate efficiency.
  • Capabilities are organized into three pillars: Content Understanding, Real-time Processing, and Operational Simplicity.
  • AI by Quortex integrates Synamedia’s technology with best-of-breed partners including Six Floor Solutions, Lingopal, and Yuzzit.

Traditional AI processing in video often runs continuously, consuming significant resources even when no value is being created. AI by Quortex flips this model by applying intelligence precisely when and where it matters.

Just-in-Time AI for Video Networks

Synamedia leverages real-time intelligence at scale using Amazon Web Services (AWS), including Amazon Bedrock and AWS Elastic Fabric Adapter. Quortex smart sampling technology dramatically improves efficiency by identifying key moments in video or audio streams before triggering foundation models.

The three pillars of AI by Quortex are:

  • Content Understanding: Automates chapters, highlights, metadata enrichment, and discoverability. Six Floor Solutions provides live metadata tagging, automatic clipping, and highlights, while AWS powers advanced content detection and tagging through Amazon Bedrock.
  • Real-time Processing: Enhances video quality, accessibility, captioning, translation, and content adaptation. Partners such as Lingopal deliver AI-generated real-time translation and dubbing for livestream and VOD, while Yuzzit supports live clipping and automatic verticalization.
  • Operational Simplicity: Reduces complexity with AI-assisted natural language workflow configuration, automated report generation, proactive monitoring, and guided operational insights.

"The difference between AI hype and real-world use cases comes down to measurable value creation," said Gwendal Simon, Senior Director of Technology, Video Network, Synamedia. "AI by Quortex is a natural extension of our 'just-in-time' philosophy that eliminates the traditional wasteful approach of constantly using resources when the real value is only achieved at specific points in time. These new innovations pinpoint exactly when AI is needed across video distribution, processing and delivery – eliminating waste and enabling more impact."

Synamedia’s Quortex portfolio includes Quortex Link (pay-as-you-use multi-tenant SaaS distribution), Quortex PowerVu (secure cloud-native video distribution), Quortex Play (just-in-time direct-to-consumer streaming), and Quortex Switch (standards-based CDN switching for multi-CDN management).

AI by Quortex will debut in the Innovation Corner of Synamedia’s booth W2851 at the 2026 NAB Show.
