What it is

iCap is AI-Media's IP delivery network for live captions. Human stenocaptioners, automatic ASR or third-party services can publish into iCap, and any registered encoder (Alta, Falcon, EEG HD492 legacy) can subscribe. Originally an EEG product; now the spine of the AI-Media stack.

Best for: Broadcast engineers connecting any caption source to any caption encoder over the internet.
Watch out for: Vendor-specific routing; encoders must speak the iCap protocol or use an Alta/Falcon bridge.
