Konstrukt’s open source Omakase Player integrates natively with the open TAMS API from BBC Research & Development, reducing complexity and accelerating cloud-based media workflows.
Konstrukt has announced that its open-source Omakase Player now supports native integration and playback for the Time Addressable Media Store (TAMS) framework, marking a significant step towards open, interoperable media workflows. The player now serves as a core component of the TAMS Tools UI, delivering high-performance, frame-accurate playback for cloud-native environments.
Both Omakase Player and TAMS are open-source technologies, strengthening ecosystem-wide accessibility and collaboration. TAMS, an open-source API specification built on Time Addressable Media principles developed by BBC Research & Development, is designed to standardise how media is accessed and managed across workflows.
The integration is expected to accelerate live and near-live cloud migrations by eliminating the need for custom player development, thereby reducing technical friction. It also enables measurable gains in speed and cost efficiency for TAMS-enabled deployments.
Positioned as the industry’s first open-source JavaScript framework for frame-accurate professional playback on the web, Omakase Player addresses longstanding gaps in browser-based solutions. It ensures precise synchronisation of video, audio, subtitles, and rich temporal metadata, meeting enterprise-grade requirements.
The TAMS API and associated tools, including Omakase Player, are available to developers via GitHub, supporting broader adoption across the media technology ecosystem. The integrated solution will be showcased at NAB Show 2026.
Since 2011, Konstrukt has focused on cloud-native media supply chains, direct-to-consumer streaming launches, and scaling complex video services through global partnerships.
