Index where your archive already sits.

Karthik leads retrieval at Deepgrip — vector indexing, ranking, and the architecture decisions behind sub-second search across decade-deep archives.

The Deepgrip on-prem connector is live. Mount it against your storage and your archive becomes searchable without a single byte of footage leaving your network.

The first six broadcasters we sat down with all asked the same question: "Can the footage stay where it is?" The answer needed to be yes, or we did not have a product for them. Thirty years of show tapes is not a thing you upload. It is a thing that lives on rack-mounted storage in a building with badge access.

The reasons footage cannot move are stacked. Regulatory rules. Rights deals with leagues, studios, and syndicators. The sheer practical reality of moving forty terabytes off a regional broadcaster on a backhaul that nobody has the appetite to saturate for six months.

Your footage stays where it is. Your archive becomes searchable.

The connector lets the source files stay in the customer's network while the searchable derivation lives in the index. The split is clean: we hold the search layer, the customer holds the master. If they cancel tomorrow, every transcript is theirs to export, and the source files were never ours in the first place.

Your footage stays where it is. Your archive becomes searchable. That has been the deal from day one.
