Beamr
Beamr is an Emmy Award-winning video technology company building content-adaptive compression, transcoding and optimisation tools, including its CABR technology, for media and autonomous vehicle data pipelines.
Beamr is an Emmy® Award-winning video technology company working on content-adaptive video compression, transcoding and optimisation. Its core technology, CABR (Content-Adaptive Bitrate), analyses every frame of a video to determine the optimal bitrate, producing files 30-50% smaller while preserving the original quality as perceived by humans. The approach is designed to be ML-safe: compression is calibrated so that what machines learn from video data is not degraded alongside what viewers see. The company holds 53 patents and is publicly traded on NASDAQ under the ticker BMR, with headquarters in Herzeliya, Israel.
Technical work at Beamr spans video compression, video transcoding, frame-level analysis and machine vision and video data pipelines. Beyond the compression engine itself, the company offers VidOps, a services model in which engineers work directly with customers from onboarding through optimisation. Beamr's customers include Netflix, Paramount, Deluxe and NVIDIA.
Its technology is applied across two main verticals: Media & Entertainment, covering studios, streaming platforms and content services, and Autonomous Vehicles, where it is used on real-world and synthetic training data. The engineering team is made up of video engineers with careers spent in production pipelines; the company describes itself as shipping to production daily, preferring writing over avoidable meetings and optimising for focus rather than facetime.
