Shedballad builds every layer between an archive and a screen, and runs a streaming platform on top of it.
- Restore - archival film and video brought back to a modern master, and kept that way.
- Render - masters to adaptive-bitrate manifests, H.264 and AV1.
- Go live - first-party ingest, packaging, and low-latency delivery.
- Watch - the viewer-facing platform, running on all three.
Media processing and storage stay resident in Saudi Arabia; delivery runs over a global edge. Residency is a property of the data, not a limit on the audience.
In Saudi slang, شدبلد means factory-spec: as it left the maker, with no dealer modifications. In English, a shed is the opening in a loom that the thread passes through, and a ballad is a story sung.
