Phase 0.3 Dark mode by design

Sports live video infrastructure that turns iOS and Android devices into resilient SRT cameras.

PilotStream is the B2B control plane for sports operators, OEM apps and media teams that need SRT ingest, instant clipping, HLS playback and authenticated webhooks without paying SaaS video platform tax.

BYOD for iOS and Android SRT-first transport Clip-ready webhook engine HLS delivery everywhere
pilotstream.control-plane
ingest srt://72.61.78.74:8890?streamid=publish:broadcast_fa92
clip pipeline mark → transcode → webhook → publish
delivery mode HLS playback + signed callbacks
Capture model BYOD mobile

No proprietary encoder fleet required.

Reliability Retry-backed webhooks

Outbox persistence and HMAC signing included.

Commercial edge Infrastructure margin

Built to undercut fragmented cloud video stacks.

SRT Resilient transport for unstable venues
BYOD Use the cameras already in the field
HLS Standard playback on any browser or app shell
API Provision, ingest, clip and notify programmatically

Designed like infrastructure, not like a marketing toy.

PilotStream sells confidence to CTOs and economic leverage to investors: fewer boxes in the field, fewer vendors in the stack and tighter control over sports video margins.

BYOD capture

Bring your own iPhone or Android rig.

Field teams exchange a secure session token, publish over SRT and stay traceable at the device and session level.

  • Native mobile workflows
  • Secure device fingerprinting
  • No satellite truck economics
Sports-grade resilience

SRT where the network is hostile.

Venues are noisy, uplinks are unstable and consumer hardware is unpredictable. SRT is the right bias when the match cannot stop.

  • Packet loss tolerance
  • Low-latency contribution
  • Production-friendly recovery model
Instant monetization

Clip highlights and ship HLS without bolt-on vendors.

Automatic clipping and playlist delivery are first-class citizens, not an expensive postscript added after ingest.

  • Clip-ready event hooks
  • HLS playback endpoints
  • Lean unit economics
Enterprise control

Signed webhooks, retries and delivery audit trails.

Operational teams get visibility into every outbound event with durable retry logic and per-endpoint HMAC secrets.

  • Tenant-scoped endpoints
  • Outbox-backed retries
  • Cryptographic authenticity

One pipeline. Six critical handoffs. Zero unnecessary vendors.

From a sideline phone to a live highlight notification, the stack stays observable, programmable and commercially sane.

01

Field capture

Operators use iOS or Android devices already available in the venue.

BYOD mobile
02

Secure exchange

Broadcast codes burn once, register the device and issue a short-lived session token.

Device traceability
03

SRT ingest

Contribution streams enter through SRT for better resilience under real-world packet loss.

Venue-grade transport
04

Clip engine

Video processing turns key moments into assets ready to distribute or monetize.

Automatic clipping
05

HLS playback

Consumers and partner apps get standard HLS outputs without custom player lock-in.

Browser-safe delivery
06

Webhook dispatch

Clients receive signed JSON events with retry-backed delivery and complete audit history.

HMAC + retries

More control than generic cloud video. Lower cost than stitched-together vendors.

CTOs do not need another expensive abstraction layer. They need a sports-specific control plane with better economics and fewer integration seams.

What investors see

Every layer collapsed into one product moves gross margin in the right direction.

What CTOs see

Fewer brittle integrations, fewer hidden egress traps and a control plane you can reason about.

The landing page should speak API, not ad copy.

Everything below maps to the real control plane already in motion: broadcasts, mobile exchange flows and HMAC-signed webhook endpoints.

Program the live pipeline like infrastructure.

Provision a broadcast, let the sideline device exchange a secure code, then register a signed webhook for downstream systems. That is the product story in three requests.

Provisioning

Create broadcasts through the control plane and assign per-stream ingest keys.

Field auth

Burn exchange codes once, register the device and return SRT credentials plus a session token.

Outbound events

Register endpoints, reveal signing secrets safely and consume clip-ready notifications with retries.

POST /v1/broadcasts
curl https://api.pilotstream.io/v1/broadcasts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tenant_id": "$TENANT_ID",
    "external_ref": "match-4656",
    "title": "FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid",
    "metadata": {
      "sport": "soccer",
      "venue": "Camp Nou"
    }
  }'

Transparent tiers. No egress surprises. No vendor lock-in.

Every plan includes the full stack: SRT ingest, HLS playback, webhook engine and control plane access. You scale usage, not features.

What makes this feel investable is what makes it operable.

PilotStream is not just a player page. It is a control plane with traceability, cryptographic trust and a clean story for platform margin.

Traceable devices

Broadcast sessions bind to a real device footprint and produce secure session tokens for future actions.

Signed B2B notifications

Every outbound JSON event is HMAC-signed with a per-endpoint secret and delivered with audit history.

Retry-backed reliability

Webhook deliveries survive unstable customer servers through queue persistence and exponential backoff.

Real-time control plane

Monitor broadcasts, inspect tenant health and audit webhook delivery from a single dashboard at app.pilotstream.io.

Questions a CTO, operator or investor will ask in the first meeting.

The page should close operational doubt before it asks for commercial trust.

Why lead with SRT instead of defaulting to RTMP?

Because sports venues are noisy networks. SRT gives a more resilient contribution layer under packet loss and unstable uplinks, which is exactly where sideline capture lives.

Can a client keep their own iOS or Android app?

Yes. The control plane narrative is explicitly BYOD and OEM-friendly. PilotStream can sit behind your own mobile shell while preserving secure exchange and session traceability.

How do downstream systems trust clip notifications?

Webhook payloads are signed with HMAC per endpoint, include timestamps and delivery identifiers, and are backed by durable retries plus attempt history.

What is the commercial wedge against SaaS video platforms?

Sports-specific workflows packaged into one product reduce vendor sprawl, implementation drag and recurring cost layers that usually kill gross margin.
