A Star to Guide the Industry

We are a leader in the video technologies, guiding the industry to more efficient media workflows with less footprint. Our technology will pave the road to more possibilities and opportunities.

Mission

Our  focus is designing simple yet powerful software solutions for our customers' media workflow challenges - today and in the future. Our products evolve with the ever-changing media landscape, always ready do adapt and grow with our customers.

History

Founded in 2009 by former Rhozet Corporation employees, Capella's aim was to design software products to span a long arc over the media industry's constant evolution.

Since our inception, the media industry has seen rapid and deep changes, with the rise of streaming and on-demand video, new resolutions like UHD, and new, efficient codecs like H.264 and H.265. Smartphones, tablets and laptops have replaced or supplemented home TV viewing.

With our team's video compression technology expertise, we knew we could create the cutting-edge transcoder and live encoding technology that our customers need for success today - and we will continue to evolve to keep pace with the rapid advances in video technology.

Values

Delivery

At Capella, our goal is to be your long term technology partner. We will always listen to our customers and partners. We use that crucial communication to improve and enhance our products: that's a promise! Together, we will always deliver.

Quality

We understand that there is no shortcut to building the most reliable and stable transcoding and live encoding technology. We take pride in making the highest quality products, with an absolute focus on making your media workflows smooth, efficient and dependable.

Innovation

We've been innovating since 2009, when we founded Capella. Our products are the result of our ideas, inspirations and willingness to try new things. We're always on the cutting edge of new and groundbreaking technology, and we will never stop innovating.

Adaptability

It's impossible to predict the future precisely, especially in this era where the rate of change is off the scale.  All our products are designed for a long life, with adaptability at their core. We evolve with the changes in market demands, and are extremely adaptable to meet our customers' changing needs.
