Collaboration
without upload.

Stop moving four hundred gigabyte masters to the cloud just so your team can review them. EdgeRelay brings the platform to your media — so collaboration starts the moment a device connects.

The Problem

The cloud was never built for your masters.

Tap any card to see how EdgeRelay solves it.

How it works

Four moves replace the upload.

Click each step to walk through the architecture. The visual updates with you.

Connect the source device.

Install the lightweight agent on the workstation, NAS or drive where your media already lives. An encrypted handshake brings the device online.

  • Works on macOS, Windows, Linux, NAS appliances
  • X25519 key exchange, ChaCha20-Poly1305 transport
  • Zero data transferred during connection

Index media in place.

EdgeRelay reads the file structure, fingerprints each asset, and makes the library browsable to authorised collaborators. Originals never move.

  • SHA-256 segment fingerprints for provenance
  • Indexes terabytes in seconds, not hours
  • Full library visible without duplication

Stream only what's watched.

When a reviewer scrubs to a frame, EdgeRelay fetches just that segment at the right resolution. A two hour master becomes a few megabytes of actual transfer.

  • Adaptive segment-level fetching
  • Peer, relay or cache — whichever is fastest
  • Graceful degradation on weak networks

Collaborate around the source.

Comments anchor to the source fingerprint, not an export. Permissions bind to purpose. Approvals stay tied to the actual master — forever.

  • Frame-accurate, source-anchored annotations
  • Preview-only, watermarked, time-bound access
  • Verifiable derivative outputs (BYO compute)

Capabilities

Ten pieces of infrastructure, one platform.

Each one earns its place. Each one is built around media that stays where it already is.

01

Collaboration Without Upload

Review starts the moment a device connects — no waiting for transfers to complete.

02

Source-Resident Custody

Originals stay on your device. Collaborators get controlled access, not copies.

03

Media-Aware Access

Only the segments and resolution needed for each task are fetched.

04

Progressive Usability

Work begins before transfer completes — eliminating all-or-nothing dependency.

05

Local-Feeling Without Sync

Browse full project libraries without duplicating storage across endpoints.

06

Source-Anchored Collaboration

Annotations and approvals stay tied to source identity, not exported copies.

07

Purpose-Bound Access

Preview-only, section-scoped, time-limited, instantly revocable permissions.

08

Adaptive Network Routing

Switches between peer, relay, and cached delivery to maintain playback quality.

09

Bring Your Own Compute

Automation runs on the custody device; only derivative outputs are shared.

10

Verifiable Derivative Outputs

Outputs are cryptographically bound to the source fingerprint — provenance proven.

Questions

Things teams ask first.

The EdgeRelay agent makes your media reachable over an encrypted streaming layer. When a remote reviewer scrubs to a frame, only the segments they're watching are fetched — at the right resolution. Your master never leaves the drive it lives on. Think of it less like Dropbox and more like a private Netflix for your raw footage.
Connect multiple source devices — workstations, NAS, portable drives — and EdgeRelay routes around outages. Frequently-viewed segments are cached at the edge so common review sessions stay live even when the source briefly drops. For business-critical work, you can mirror specific assets to a second custody device.
That's the whole point. Traditional cloud platforms protect files after you've already handed them over. EdgeRelay protects custody itself — your master never leaves your premises. All traffic is encrypted, every connection is authenticated, every fetched segment is logged, and reviewer access is purpose-bound: preview-only, watermarked, time-limited, instantly revocable.
Yes. EdgeRelay sits alongside your existing NLE — it doesn't replace it. Editors keep working in Premiere, Resolve or Avid exactly as they do today. EdgeRelay is the layer that exposes those files to producers, clients and remote reviewers without copying them anywhere.
We charge for collaboration capacity — concurrent reviewers, source devices, automated workflows — not for storage you already own. Early-access partners get founding pricing locked in for the duration of the pilot and beyond. Talk to us and we'll quote against your actual workflow.
EdgeRelay has pending patent applications covering the source-resident collaboration architecture — including media-aware segment streaming, source-anchored derivative outputs and the permission model that binds access to purpose rather than file. We'll share more detail under NDA with serious pilot partners.
