Comprimato

Comprimato is a Czech software brand specializing in high-performance live video encoding, transcoding, standards conversion, and JPEG 2000 image processing. The company began as a university project in Brno, where it developed JPEG 2000 codec technology and software-based broadcast processing. Its products are used by broadcasters, service providers, media technology developers, and organizations in medical, geospatial, and aerospace imaging. The brand's portfolio includes Live Transcoder for video encoding and transcoding, Live Standards Conversion for flexible frame rate conversion, the Twenty-One Encoder SMPTE ST 2110 encoding appliance, and the JPEG 2000 Codec SDK. These solutions are designed to run across on-premises, virtualized, and cloud infrastructure, addressing the industry's shift toward software-defined media workflows. Comprimato has been a strategic partner of AJA Video Systems, supporting the evolution of AJA's BRIDGE LIVE line of IP video solutions. In April 2026, AJA announced an agreement to acquire Comprimato. Upon closing, Comprimato will continue to operate as a separate brand under AJA and retain its European offices in Brno, Czech Republic. CEO and co-founder Jiří Matela and the entire Comprimato team will join AJA. The acquisition unifies the development teams behind AJA's BRIDGE LIVE family, aiming to accelerate streaming innovation and bring customers enhanced workflow efficiency and content monetization opportunities. Sales structures, channels, customer support, and currently shipping products will not be impacted.
