By Jamie G
In 2014 BabyFlix saw an opportunity that woudl change the lives of parents-to-be. They created an unique service that allows families that are expecting to share and preserve ultrasound imagery as live streams, on-demand video, and photos. Cloud storage gives parents a convenient place to hold and secure their recordings.amilies can share and preserve ultrasound imagery as live streams, on-demand video, and photos. Cloud storage gives parents a convenient place to hold and secure their recordings. BabyFlix is San Diego based and provides its service to more than 100 clinics acorss the US.
Epiphan helps play a huge part in BabyFlix’s mission. BabyFlix works with partner clinics to source, set up, and configure the technology that makes ultrasound capture and streaming possible. Most of the 100+ BabyFlix-equipped clinics are powered by Epiphan encoding and capture products.
BabyFlix uses the Epiphan’s AV.io video grabbers and the DVI2PCIe Duo. Those together bring video signal from the ultrasound machine into a computer running video production software. The computer is connected to an Epiphan Pearl encoder.
We’ve seen a whole host of things because we come into a lot of sites. Epiphan products are by far the best. It’s the speed of encoding. It’s the compatibility. With the video that’s coming off of the machines, these aren’t standard dimensions. It’s not a clean signal. Epiphan products handle it. It’s just a nonissue.

BabyFlix has already changed the world for parents. They allow parents to share this milestone with their friends and family and their idea of sharing ultrasound imagery has come a long way. BabyFlix believes there is still plenty of room to grow. They are looking into incorporating pre-appointment surveys, interactive video services, artificial intelligence, and other enhancements to take the concept to the next level.
