As founder of Motion Spell, my role is to advocate for the use of open source software in commercial broadcast, video streaming, OTT and VR applications.In 2012 I founded GPAC Licensing, the commercial arm of the GPAC Multimedia Open Source Framework. GPAC is a powerful worldwide project, established in 1999 in NYC, dedicated to the development of rich-media, video encoding and broadcast technologies. GPAC Licensing is exclusively handled by Motion Spell. GPAC Licensing provides a business friendly licensing model that extends the commercial possibilities of the GPAC Open Source Software, helping people transport multimedia data in the right format. GPAC OSS is the reference standard for the MP4 file format and was chosen by industry leaders such as Youtube, Netflix, Sony, x264, Philips, Cisco, Ericsson, General Motors, Fox, and many others. Motion Spell also offers ready-made technology solutions such as SubStance (an over-the-top live subtitle inserter), Signals (a video processing framework to build broadcast quality products within days), or Abstract (a revolutionary compliance engine to analyze and certify your content). Abstract won a NAB Innovation Award, more at https://www.motionspell.com/2018/04/10/2018-nab-technology-innovation-award/. GPAC features the award-winning MP4Box software (a Swiss Army knife for the MP4 multimedia container format used by many companies including Netflix) and a full playback infrastructure. We support (and are co-authors of) the fMP4, MPEG2-TS, DASH, HEVC and CENC international standards. Motion Spell also facilitates access to our community of experts who can provide advice and help you develop new custom features! Our licensing solution includes professional support, consulting and training by world class experts in Broadcast, Rich Media, OTT, Video Streaming and VR Transport.
