Pacbyte — Netpump Video
Higher bitrate streams
at less cost.
Netpump Video is a lightweight protocol that improves quality of experience for users at a reduced cost for video streaming providers.
Improvement in bitrates vs standard
Lossless compression reduces file size
End-user devices use ~50% less CPU while streaming
All video players, codecs and DRM technologies
Performance gains most significant over low bandwidth
Implemented via a software or website update
Independent Testing
Proven Results
Interactive performed comprehensive independent testing across several connection types and hosting environments.
Improvement in Bitrates
Netpump Video resulted in a transformative quality of experience improvement for users, with a 215% improvement in bitrates over standard streaming.

Files only need to be compressed once for all future streams to benefit from being 20% smaller — meaning 20% cheaper storage and distribution costs or increased end user QoE permanently.
Implementation
Simple Implementation Roadmap
Netpump Video can be rolled out easily and quickly by Streaming Video Providers with immediate cost-saving benefits. No changes to current infrastructure or workflows are required.
Encode
Netpump Video encodes the original file by splitting it into smaller segments, optimising it for accelerated delivery.
Compress
During this one-time encoding process, lossless compression may also be applied to shrink the file by 20%. No other infrastructure changes are required.
Decode
A software or web update enables client devices to reassemble data segments through an automated decode process, delivering the actual source file with no impact to integrity.
Stream
Client device monitors network conditions to determine optimal delivery rate, buffering entirely from cache for full quality, reliable video streaming without buffering or jittering.
How the architecture works
- Netpump Video is powered by Netpump Data, operating at the data layer
- Works across Broadband Networks, 5G Networks and SpaceX's Starlink Network
- Compatible with all levels of infrastructure, networks and devices that support TCP/IP
- Fixed Bitrate Videos: proprietary chunking of data files for optimal packet size
- Adaptive Bitrate Videos: encoded TS files are used directly
- Compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS and Android client devices
Benefits
Why Streaming Providers Choose Netpump Video
Higher Video Resolution
Performance gains are most significant over low bandwidth connections — delivering noticeably higher resolution video to users on constrained networks such as mobile and rural broadband.
Reduced Jitter & Buffering
Removes costly user pain points. The client device buffers entirely from cache, delivering full-quality, reliable streaming without buffering circles or video jitter.
20% Cost Reduction
Lossless compression enables 20% less storage and data transfer requirements — a direct and permanent reduction in distribution costs for streaming video providers or an increased QoE for end users.
50% Less CPU on End Devices
End-user devices use around 50% less CPU while streaming — improving device performance, battery life, and quality of experience, especially on older or lower-powered devices.
DRM & Codec Agnostic
Compatible with all video players, codecs and Digital Rights Management technologies — no changes to content protection or player infrastructure required.
