The handoff is where
production breaks.
DailiesDrop™ offloads and verifies camera cards on set and sends the original files over every route it can reach. ShuttleCheck™ receives them on the post house's own machine and checks every file against the source manifest, so what reaches post is verified footage, straight from the set.

01 · The company
An engineering house for the
An engineering house for the
places production actually happens.
Three disciplines, built to work as one system: a chassis that survives the truck, an orchestration layer that decides for itself, and a handoff that carries its own proof.
Adaptive orchestration
The software that decides where every chunk of footage goes, continuously, across links that fail and recover without warning. It runs on the box itself.
Verified handoff
Reassembly and checksums happen on the recipient's own machine, never on ours, and nothing is released into their destination until the hash matches. The rule the media was named by travels with it, so the far end can check a delivery without installing anything of ours. Media that arrives corrupt is worse than media that has not arrived.
The company, in one line
MVRK Systems (said "maverick") builds AI deep-tech infrastructure for
broadcast, film, and live media: hardware and software for the moments
footage changes hands.
02 · The problem
Production moved to the cloud.
Production moved to the cloud.
Physical capture didn't.
A camera on a mountain, a backlot, or the 18th green generates terabytes a day that still travel by hard drive and courier. We build the boxes that close the gap.
Terabyte ingestion delays
Cinematic camera cards generate thousands of gigabytes of RAW media daily that sit idle on location, unwatched and unbacked.
Logistical friction
Productions still rely on physical drive shipping or slow site Wi-Fi, delaying post-production edits by days.
Cellular instability
Single-connection hotspots lack the reliability and bandwidth required for multi-terabyte transfers off a live set.
03 · The intelligence
Nobody configures it,
Nobody configures it,
because it decides.
Four unreliable routes, one deadline, and a queue that changes shape every few seconds. The orchestration layer models each route continuously and re-decides where each 64 MB chunk goes every five seconds, for the length of a shoot. That is where the AI in "AI deep-tech infrastructure" actually lives: not in a feature list, in the allocation.

CELL A (bonded)
CELL B (bonded)
SAT (where there is nothing else)
Predictive link modelling
Every path carries a rolling goodput estimate. Work is allocated on which link will run dry soonest, not on which is fastest right now; and no single sample may exceed twice a path's observed peak, so one lucky reading cannot starve the others.
Autonomous mode policy
The engine re-evaluates every five seconds against queue composition, live routes, deadline and cellular budget, then re-tags pending work. A thirty-second hold stops it oscillating on a marginal link.
Adaptive thresholds
What counts as "stalled" scales with the work in flight. A 64 MB chunk on a 20 Mbps dish legitimately takes 26 seconds; a fixed timeout would bench a healthy satellite link on every chunk.
Speculative execution
Past 95% complete, the oldest outstanding chunk is re-issued to any healthy path at least 1.5× faster. It costs a few hundred megabytes and removes the wait on one straggler.
MVRK Systems presents
DailiesDrop™
CARD IN. CLOUD OUT.
800MB/s
Ingest design target, CFexpress · measurement pending
Local staging straight onto the integrated NVMe cache. A target until it is measured on hardware; the card sets the ceiling, not the box.
2–4TB
Protected cache
Two PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives, every file written twice.
Up to 4routes
Bonded uplink
Wired Ethernet, two cellular modems and satellite, standard on every unit.
04 · The hardware
Engineered, not styled.
Real numbers and real specifications, with a target labelled as a target until it is measured. Credibility comes from being exact; closer to a tool company than to a startup.
Say
Straight to internal cache. Bonded across four routes. Verified on arrival.

not by what we hold back.
One chassis, two configurations. Every unit puts up all four routes, runs the same scheduler, carries ShuttleCheck™ Pro and coordinates with every other unit on the production. The only thing that changes is cache depth.

Own the box. Pay for the days it works.
Buy a unit and run it on your own jobs, or buy several and put them out on other people's; the device-months are billed to whichever project the unit is live on, and an idle unit bills nothing. Coordination across units is in that price at any unit count: twelve units cost twelve device-months, with no second fee and nothing switched off on the way there.
07 · Who we build for
Three rooms, one box.
On set
Camera assistants and DITs (fast, stressed, in the dark and the rain). They judge the brand by whether the box looks like it will survive the truck.
In the office
Producers, post supervisors, rental houses, and the owner-operators who buy for their own work. They sign the POs; it must read as capital equipment, never a hobbyist project.
In the room
Investors and broadcast technology buyers. Serious infrastructure, shelved alongside Teradek, LiveU, and ARRI.
Pilot programme
Put one on a truck.
Pilot units are allocated per production. Tell us the shoot, the territory, and the delivery target, and we will tell you whether the box is the right tool for it.
