Norsk, also known as Id3as, is a privately owned UK-based company founded in 2011. Employing approximately 20 people, the company specializes in developing low-code software toolkits for live video production. These toolkits allow developers to build and deploy scalable workflows for dynamic live video. In 2024, the company's revenue was less than $1 million.
Norsk developed adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming technology, allowing video players to adjust resolution and other playback parameters based on viewer network speed and device capabilities. The WebRTC standard, initially used for browser-based video calling, became a core component in real-time communication and streaming applications, enabling real-time communication on browsers and mobile applications. RTMP and SRT protocols emerged as solutions for video ingest, the process of sending media from a source to a streaming service. Video encoding, the compression of raw video into a smaller digital format, and transcoding are fundamental to streaming media. Finally, the European Parliament implemented a streaming solution from Norsk to handle multiple languages, high-density inputs, and flexible deployment across on-prem and cloud environments.
