About

A video engineering lab for decentralized media and applied technology, run out in the open.

01

What this actually is

CueSeal is a video engineering lab in the literal sense: research and development, questions, experiments, records, published results. It's also my professional portfolio, and there's no reason to pretend otherwise. Direction just follows whatever seems worth figuring out, not wherever the industry happens to be making money this year.

Both of those things are true at once. The research is real. It also happens to belong to a person instead of a company.

Background

Mark Jared, founding director of engineering.

Hello, everyone. My name is Mark Jared. I live in Los Angeles, CA with my wife and our dog. I am a lifelong multimedia technologist who has worked in various fields in the AV and IT industry. I have built smart homes, home studios, and integrated media systems for professional healthcare facilities and Fortune 500 companies like Procter & Gamble. I have also worked for several startups, and led AVoIP and AI efforts for local news outlets.

My current focus, and the inspiration behind CueSeal, is to keep demonstrating a real use case for AI in media ecosystems, and to drive AVoIP and SDVoE development using cloud, ML, open source tools, and open weight models.

I believe in building media technology that works for everyone, and building for emerging decentralized new media platforms and markets. While CueSeal also acts as my personal work portfolio, I am passionate about building this platform into an open project for any and all media junkies and collaborators. I would love to hear from you.

Why it's called CueSeal

A cue gets staged. Then it gets sealed. That's the whole pun: an agent proposes something, a person actually signs off on it, and the record shows exactly who did which part.

It describes how the work runs here, and it's also one of the things the research tests: does that rule actually hold up, or does it quietly slip the first time nobody's watching?

Where things stand

Early. Genuinely early.

The first research term runs through the end of 2026. Nothing's published, the setup is still getting built, and this page will keep saying exactly that until it stops being true.
