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.
