Harmonic Offers More Cloud Solutions At IBC

Harmonic announced new solutions for optimizing live video in the cloud at IBC.

• It has partnered with Aveco to simplify the deployment of hybrid on-premises and cloud workflows for playout applications. Thanks to the partnership, operators can now use a single interface to control hybrid on-premises and cloud playout workflows for more efficient delivery of broadcast and OTT channels, including live streaming.
• It is offering what it calls “a groundbreaking new delivery capability” for its VOS cloud-native offerings that provides telco, cable and mobile operators with real-time scalability for mission-critical, high-demand live video streaming services. This new capability has successfully been deployed by a leading mobile network operator to deliver live sports content utilizing a multi-CDN approach with Harmonic’s CDN partners.
• Harmonic, in collaboration with Google and 3SS, has created an integrated OTT and broadcast live sports workflow on Android TV, delivering essential tailored features such as picture-in-picture, multi-view and personalized mosaic. At IBC, on Harmonic Stand 1.B20 and Google Stand 14.E02, the companies are demonstrating how pay TV operators can now deliver personalized, low-latency live sports experiences on OTT and hybrid set-top boxes using Harmonic’s VOS cloud-native live video platform, a powerful UHD STB and the 3READY custom launcher application from 3SS.
• Harmonic has teamed up with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to optimize deployments of its VOS cloud-native platform. Together, Harmonic’s VOS offerings and HPE GreenLake deliver a consumption-based service that enables operators to achieve increased simplicity, scalability and cost savings for IPTV and OTT video delivery.
