An MXL-aligned, NMOS-controlled, ST 2110 / IPMX-compatible media platform for public and private cloud — engineered so every application above the fabric stays yours to choose. No walled garden. No single-vendor lock-in.
Most cloud broadcast platforms make a deal with you on day one: take our entire application stack, or take nothing. Thomson Cloud inverts that. The fabric is ours. Everything you do on top of it — playout, MAM, live sports, graphics, news, monitoring — stays an open choice, sourced from whichever best-of-breed vendor wins the workflow.
The whole platform is engineered around a single discipline: Thomson brands and operates the media-exchange fabric — the layer that makes uncompressed media available, in real time, between software functions running on cloud or on-prem infrastructure.
Everything above it is a partner. Everything below it is a standard. That separation is the product.
Every frame on Thomson Cloud takes the same standards-aligned journey. Contributed at the edge, exchanged across the fabric at microsecond latency, processed by any partner application, distributed to any audience. Here is what happens between the stadium and the screen.
Live cameras, OB trucks, news crews and remote contributors enter the fabric via SRT, JPEG XS or ST 2110 — through any vendor's edge gateway.
The Thomson fabric exchanges uncompressed media between software functions — MXL shared-memory in-cluster, RDMA across hosts. Microsecond latency.
Best-of-breed partner applications — playout, MAM, sports, news, graphics, monitoring — read from and write to the fabric using NMOS control.
Frame-accurate output to linear channels, FAST, OTT, ATSC 3.0 and DTH — across any region, any CDN, any audience.
Six environments shape the modern broadcast cloud. Thomson Cloud is engineered for all of them — same fabric, same standards, same openness.
Multi-camera contribution, slo-mo, replay and live graphics — ingested at the venue, processed in the cloud or on-prem, distributed worldwide with sub-second glass-to-glass latency.
NRCS, MOS-controlled graphics, remote contribution, automated playout and ticker — every newsroom workflow runs on the same open fabric, with rundown-grade reliability.
Scale to dozens or hundreds of linear channels in the cloud — playout, scheduling, branding, ads, transcoding, packaging — with per-channel economics, not per-token surprises.
Run the fabric inside the truck for full on-prem operation, or bridge to the cloud for hybrid remote production — the same MXL fabric on both sides, same control plane, same workflows.
Country-resident deployments, air-gapped operation, regulator-aligned data residency — the same fabric runs inside your sovereign infrastructure with no dependency on US hyperscalers.
Remote MCR with 2110-native multiview, loudness, SCTE compliance and full operator surfaces — driven from anywhere, displayed anywhere, with no specialist hardware required.
We do not ship a closed app catalog. Above the fabric, every workflow domain is open to the best vendor for the job. Below are the eight domains we certify against the Thomson fabric — alongside the partners customers are already deploying.
Cloud, on-prem and hybrid playout for linear and FAST channels — with branding, transmission, scheduling and as-run.
Ingest, archive, search, rights, metadata, AI enrichment and content lifecycle across the production chain.
Replay, super-slo-mo, OB and live sports workflows — fully integrated with the Thomson fabric.
Newsroom computer systems, rundowns, MOS-controlled graphics, story-centric editorial workflows.
Browser-rendered overlays, AR / VR, virtual studio and data-driven motion graphics for any channel.
Vendor-neutral operator surfaces, panels and macros — designed to abstract every application below.
Protected SRT / JPEG XS contribution into the cloud, satellite replacement, multi-region distribution.
MXL-native and 2110-native monitoring, multiview, QC, loudness and SCTE compliance.
If your preferred partner speaks MXL, NMOS, ST 2110 or SRT — they already integrate. If they don't yet, we'll get them there.
The same Thomson fabric runs on the public cloud of your choice, inside your own data center, or as a hybrid that bridges both. Standards-aligned at every interface — so the deployment topology is a procurement decision, not a re-engineering one.
A managed multi-tenant service running on AWS, GCP or Azure. Per-channel economics, elastic burst capacity, region failover, and Marketplace billing.
The same fabric deployed inside your facility, on COTS Linux servers and your existing IP network. Air-gapped, sovereign, or regulator-compliant — your call.
The dominant criterion in tier-1 broadcaster RFPs is now “does this avoid lock-in?” Standards-first positioning is the highest-leverage decision a cloud broadcast platform can make. Here is the full standards stack the Thomson fabric is built on.
Sovereign deployments, tier-1 broadcaster RFPs, FAST playout, MCR-as-a-service, ATSC 3.0, sports rights workflows — wherever you are on the road to cloud, we'd like to hear what you're building.
