Akta Powering ViX AVOD, SVOD, Live Streaming & FAST Channels

Spanish-language media company TelevisaUnivision is using Akta’s video platform for ViX, its Spanish-language streaming service. Akta’s Cloud Video Platform is powering AVOD, SVOD, live and FAST channels for ViX.

ViX offers more than 75,000 hours of on-demand content and over 100 streaming channels, all in Spanish. The app is available with two access tiers, one free with ads and one premium plan with a subscription, in the U.S., Mexico, and most of Spanish-speaking Latin America, across all major mobile platforms, connected TV devices, and via the web on vix.com. Akta’s turnkey cloud video platform delivers content to all the device platforms, and manages the video workflow, from content ingestion and channel scheduling to playback and monetization via dynamic ad insertion.

Michael Cerda, ViX chief product officer, said: “Akta is not only a full-suite solution for video workflow, live streaming, FAST channel scheduling, and dynamic ad insertion, but also has the ability to dynamically and seamlessly scale. ViX is growing fast and Akta has been paramount to our work to date and the Platform’s cloud-native ability to automatically scale the video infrastructure with DRM and dynamic ad insertion was a key criteria for selecting their services.”

Alper Turgut, Akta chairman, added: “ViX is not just a streaming service, it’s a celebration of Spanish-language culture and entertainment. Akta is proud to be the technology partner to bring technical innovation and cloud video tools for workflow scheduling, streaming and dynamic ad insertion.”
