The future of video
With Generative Video Codec, you can see what matters first.
Imagine a wanted criminal steals a car and speeds through the city. Surveillance and news helicopter cameras capture it. But in the grainy video, the license plate is unreadable.
Now, picture this: latakoo’s Generative Video Codec (GVC) sharpens that plate instantly. No waiting. No re-processing. Just immediate clarity on the most critical detail. That detail is delivered to you first – before any other video that was captured. Reporters immediately inform the public about the danger; police now know who they’re dealing with.
GVC automatically enhances the most relevant parts of a live feed. Users can pinpoint specific areas—like a suspect’s face, structural damage after an explosion, or a player’s foot at the goal line—and GVC delivers it in razor-sharp quality while optimizing bandwidth.

Clearer video will save lives. GVC will help law enforcement solve crimes, the military confirm targets and even medical professionals virtually operate with perfect clarity. From sports to medicine to meteorology, the use cases are endless. That’s why the National Association of Broadcasters awarded latakoo the 2025 Technical Innovation Award in Las Vegas on April 7, 2025.
“It’s so exciting to win this award, especially here at NAB where the biggest technology companies come to show off their wares,” co-founder and president Jade Kurian said.
“It’s about the team,” added co-founder and CEO Paul Adrian. “Scientist Richard Metzler. It’s about the University of San Antonio that we have licensed this technology from. It’s about Kevin Wang, our engineer who has taken Richard’s science and turned it into a real, viable product. And it’s about the vision that we have shared at latakoo, the commitment to this technology, and to all of our customers who are going to see great benefits from Generative Video Codec.”
