Ceeblue, a privately owned company based in the Netherlands, was founded in 2017 and employs approximately 10 individuals. The company specializes in video processing and playout, functioning as a real-time interactive CDN.
Ceeblue and Layercake showcased Digital Rights Management (DRM) alongside server-side ad insertion on September 11, 2026, leveraging their integration of Ceeblue’s sub-second WebRTS streaming with Layercake’s Streamcake orchestration platform. The upgraded integration supports CENC and CBCS encryption schemes, providing coverage across Widevine, PlayReady, and FairPlay DRM ecosystems over DASH, HLS/CMAF Low-Latency HLS, and WebRTS delivery channels. This development built on their full production rollout of an advanced DRM framework and Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) on September 9, which they initially announced on September 8 at IBC2026. Previously, on May 15, Ceeblue rolled out version 3.7 of its Media Fabric, introducing deterministic streaming, unified media and metadata handling, and improved resilience, ensuring identical media time produces identical segment boundaries and identifiers across origins. The strategic partnership with Layercake began on April 22, aiming to integrate Ceeblue’s sub-second technologies into Layercake’s Streamcake orchestration platform to automate real-time workflows and balance speed with global scale and content security.
