Platform capabilities
FrameWorks is built as a platform, not only a dashboard. The matrix shows which capabilities are available today and where you can use them: GraphQL API, MCP tools for agents, dashboard workflows, and developer/operator docs.
Why teams pick FrameWorks
Section titled “Why teams pick FrameWorks”- Sovereign deployment options — run FrameWorks as SaaS, add your own edge clusters, or self-host the video and control-plane stack without changing platforms.
- Complete live-video workflow — ingest, playback, multistreaming, playback access control, 24/7 DVR, chapters, clips, VOD, thumbnails, and analytics in one control plane.
- Deep routing and QoE visibility — see viewer routing, stream health, geography, quality, and node performance instead of treating delivery as a black box.
- Agent-native operations — the dashboard, GraphQL API, and MCP tools expose the same platform controls for humans, automation, and AI agents.
Availability key
Section titled “Availability key”- Available — ready to use today; availability can still depend on account tier, deployment, and configuration.
- Expanding — the core capability is live; a specific surface or workflow is actively shipping.
- Planned — tracked on the Roadmap, not represented as a shipped capability in this matrix.
