Cloud
A multiviewer by the hour.
Conspect Cloud is a fully managed instance on AWS — machine, software, every feature, and support, all in one hourly rate from prepaid credit. Spin one up for a Saturday final or run it all year; the rate is the same. The meter runs from when your mosaic is reachable, with a 1-hour minimum, then per the minute.
The event-weekend and always-on workhorse. As with self-hosting, capacity is a property of your sources and codecs — sized to load.
The facility-grade instance for 4K and AV1-heavy walls. Region-limited by GPU availability.

Flex rates shown; a committed monthly term cuts CN-S by 15%, and an annual term cuts either size by 30%. CN-L commits annually for now. Media store $0.05/GB-month, ingress free. CN-L runs where AWS G6e is available, and expands as AWS does.
Prepaid credit
$50 minimum top-up, optional auto-top-up, and a $10 trial credit on a verified card. The meter has a 1-hour minimum, then bills per the minute; egress, media storage and any extra block storage are post-billed.
Bring your own cloud
Run instances in your own cloud account, on your own keys, for a flat per-running-instance-hour fee — management and licence combined, well below the managed rate since you bring the compute. You pay your provider directly for it.
The shape of it
An appliance, not a VM.
You get a URL, the web UI and the API — never SSH, never root. The instance activates its own licence on a hardened, locked-down image, and you reach a live mosaic in under four minutes. Support questions are about Conspect, not about Ubuntu.
Configs travel: save the declarative TOML from any fleet machine or cloud instance, or provision a new instance straight from it — your Saturday wall boots already pointed at its sources.
The arithmetic is deliberately checkable: the hourly rate sits on AWS's public on-demand prices, and the meter starts when your mosaic is ready, not when the machine boots. If you outgrow the utility, self-host on a normal licence — same software, same config.
Prepaid, without the cliff
Nobody's wall dies over a card decline.
The same care as our licensing: a balance hitting zero gives a 60-minute grace and then a clean, snapshotted drain — loudly announced and one-click restorable. It stops the instance an hour later, never with an abrupt cut mid-broadcast.
- Credit healthy
- Per-minute ticks against your balance. Alerts at 50, 20 and 10% of your trailing-week burn.
- Balance hits $0
- 60-minute grace — streams keep running, a banner shows everywhere, auto-top-up fires if armed.
- After grace
- Graceful stop: streams drained cleanly, config and clips snapshotted to S3. No corrupt segments.
- Retention
- Held free for 7 days, then 30 more in infrequent-access storage.
- On top-up
- One-click restore to identical state.

Open standards, end to end.
SRT in, SCTE-35 through the middle, captions and loudness handled, and the broadcast-interop tier (ST 2110, CDI, NMOS) on the path. The full live matrix — what's shipped, what's in progress — lives on conspect.dev.
In
SRT, RTMP/S, RTSP and MPEG-TS today; RIST and WHIP (RFC 9725) at GA.
Process
Clean routing and switches, SCTE-35, CEA-608/708 → IMSC captions, and EBU R128 loudness at GA.
Out
A WHEP browser mosaic, plus SRT / RIST / TS, at GA.
Broadcast interop
ST 2110-22 / JPEG XS, AWS CDI and NMOS IS-04/05 as the broadcast-interop tier; TSL UMD tally and OpenTelemetry for control and observability.
Card to running mosaic in minutes, not a procurement cycle. First $10 on a verified card.
