Edge hardware
Precision-milled aluminium, sealed against set dust and rain, no screen. Capital equipment for camera departments.
MVRK Systems builds AI deep-tech infrastructure for broadcast, film, and live media: hardware and software for the moments footage changes hands. A box that moves a card off a location without being configured, and a tool that writes the naming convention down and seals it to the drive, so the far end can check the delivery for itself.
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.
Precision-milled aluminium, sealed against set dust and rain, no screen. Capital equipment for camera departments.
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.
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.
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.
Cinematic camera cards generate thousands of gigabytes of RAW media daily that sit idle on location, unwatched and unbacked.
Productions still rely on physical drive shipping or slow site Wi-Fi, delaying post-production edits by days.
Single-connection hotspots lack the reliability and bandwidth required for multi-terabyte transfers off a live set.
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 every 64 MB chunk goes; six times a minute, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Local staging straight onto the integrated NVMe cache. The card sets the ceiling, not the box.
Two PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives, every file written twice.
Wired Ethernet, two cellular modems and satellite, standard on every unit.
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.
Three are in hand: one published, one built, and one in development with pilots opening. Two more are named and not yet written.
An automated data wrangler. Card in, cloud out, at card speed across four bonded routes.
Specification → 0.3.0 · publishedNaming and delivery conformance. The convention written down, checked, and sealed to the drive so the far end can check it too.
What it checks → Built · opening at figurecheck.ioDisclosure verification for CFD brokers. The retail-loss figure, read on every page that carries it and held to the wording a compliance officer signed.
How it works →Automated live-show showcalling. Cue stacks driven from the same orchestration layer that moves the media.
Real-time sports telemetry. Field-side capture and distribution for broadcast rights-holders.
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.
Single-unit days, features, commercials.
€3,900 €229 / mo per active device 2 TB protected/4 TB rawHigh-volume days, multi-camera, long-form.
€4,700 €229 / mo per active device 4 TB protected/8 TB rawBuy 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.
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.
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.
Investors and broadcast technology buyers. Serious infrastructure, shelved alongside Teradek, LiveU, and ARRI.
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.
