ROOT6 Technology was established by video industry professionals in 1997 in the heart of Soho, the home of London’s post production and new media communities.

With particular skills in application development, relational database design and IP network engineering, ROOT6 Technology has undertaken a number of collaborative projects to deliver products and services to the postproduction and broadcast sectors.

These include the development of a set top box for BEAM.TV, a leading archiving and media distribution company with more than half a million advertising assets in its online library. BeamBox enabled multi-format file playout on a standard TV for the first time and has subsequently been used for screening entries at more than 30 international advertising festivals which now only accept file-based material for judging.

Subsequently the company has worked with UK media specialists ChilliBean to create a tapeless advertising awards submission and judging system for D&AD Global Awards.

The company’s close association with postproduction and broadcast professionals is apparent in ContentAgent’s feature set which incorporates considerable feedback from those who work in multi-format file-intensive environments on a daily basis.
