From livestream pioneers to AI translation.
VIDEO.TAXI — legal entity TV1 GmbH — started in 1999 as a broadcast and streaming specialist. For two decades, we built the infrastructure that carries live signals across the public internet without dropping frames: for parliaments, federal agencies, broadcasters, sports leagues, film festivals and corporate communications teams.
That foundation matters. Live translation is, fundamentally, an infrastructure problem dressed up as an AI problem. You need ultra-low latency audio pipelines. Bulletproof hosting. End-to-end encryption. A compliance story you can hand to a procurement team without flinching.
AI is the new ingredient. The plumbing was already ours.
“The hardest part of live translation isn’t the model. It’s the seconds before and after it.”
