Compare Backlight Live Studio vs. Upstream

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, multi-CDN, and eCDN with tokenised access, encryption, and HTTP/2 over TLS 1.3. The Cookie- and Consent-free HTML5 Video Player is barrier-free to WCAG 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 CI workflows. What sets 3Q apart is ownership. 3Q runs on its own independent European video infrastructure, not rented hyperscaler capacity, so your data stays in the EU and under German jurisdiction. 3Q is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant, with modular pay-as-you-go pricing and 24/7 human support from engineers who know the platform.
