Recast partners with Mux. Not because we’re a streaming platform, but because we’re not…

Recast has partnered with Mux to power video delivery across our network.

Not because we’re a streaming platform, but because we’ve moved beyond needing to be one. 

We used to handle video delivery ourselves. Today, best-in-class providers like Mux do that better, faster, and at global scale. 

That shift allows us to focus entirely on the layer that sits above streaming: 

• access and entitlement
• pricing and payments
• distribution across the internet
• and real-time revenue settlement

Recast is the infrastructure that enables instant transactional access to premium content wherever demand exists. 

Many organizations already have their own streaming partners - whether that’s providers such as Mux, Brightcove, JW Player, or internal infrastructure.

Recast is designed to sit across those environments, enabling access and value exchange wherever audiences are. 

Where Mux Fits

We’ve partnered with Mux to provide video delivery capabilities for content owners who want to monetize their video content, but either do not already have streaming infrastructure in place or want to use Recast to deliver complementary Pay-Per-View access alongside their existing products and channels. 

Mux powers the video delivery layer:

• encoding and storage
• video processing
• global playback and delivery

Recast powers the commercial layer:

• access and entitlement
• pricing and payments
• distribution across the internet
• real-time revenue settlement across all parties

This separation is deliberate.

It allows each layer to do what it does best. 

And Mux delivers over a billion minutes of video per month to audiences worldwide, making it a proven partner:

“This partnership reflects how we’ve built Recast as a payment infrastructure for content, rather than a destination platform,” said Simon Hamilton, CTO of Recast. “By integrating with a best-in-class streaming provider like Mux, we stay focused on what we do best - enabling instant access, payments, and real-time settlement - while allowing partners to deliver world-class video experiences.”

A New Era of Content Distribution and Audience Access

Historically, streaming providers have focused on delivering content to specific endpoints - apps, platforms, or owned environments.

Recast redefines that.

We enable content to be accessed and monetized wherever demand exists - across permitted publisher sites, partner platforms, and the wider internet.

Streaming delivers the content, and Recast turns access into a transaction. 

Not a Replacement

Adopting Recast doesn’t mean re-architecting existing workflows.

If a rights holder already has a streaming setup, they can continue using it.

Recast plugs in above that layer, enabling content owners to define who can watch, under what conditions, at what price, in what geographies, and how revenue flows between parties. 

Where delivery infrastructure is needed, Mux provides that capability. 

Wherever it already exists, Recast works with it. 

The Model

Mux powers video delivery. 

Recast powers access, monetization and settlement, net of applicable taxes and fees. 

Streaming infrastructure typically comes with upfront costs, or lacks the tools to monetize demand across the internet. Recast removes both constraints, operating on a share of each transaction. 

Together, Recast and Mux provide a complete end-to-end self-serve solution, enabling content owners to deliver and monetize premium content without upfront or ongoing costs. 

Access is the product. Streaming is how it’s delivered.
