SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic
(NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced that 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.
"Teaming up with Harmonic makes playout simple, no matter where
you are in the world," said Pavel
Potuzak, CEO of Aveco. "Our MCR system uses a single
interface for local, remote and cloud playout, giving operators the
flexibility to deploy part of their workflow on-premises and part
of it in the cloud, based on what makes the most sense for their
business."
Harmonic's VOS®360 channel origination and Spectrum™
X media servers provide the cloud and on-premises infrastructure
and management capabilities necessary to deliver playout of
scheduled and live content for broadcast and OTT platforms. With
Aveco's ASTRA MCR system, operators can easily manage on-air
operations in multiple locations through a common user
interface.
"Expanding our relationship with Aveco is part of our strategy
to make playout operations simpler and more powerful, providing
operators with world-class control at their fingertips," said
Shahar Bar, senior vice president,
Video Business, at Harmonic. "Harmonic is the only technology
provider that offers open integration for its on-premises playout
and cloud-based channel origination solutions to enable a true
hybrid workflow under third-party control. As the leader in hybrid
workflow solutions, we're ensuring video service continuity and
superior quality of service for our customers."
In the hybrid workflow environment, operators have the
flexibility to use their on-premises playout system for complex
channels, fixed lineups and long-term channels, and a cloud
solution for 24x7, pop-up and disaster recovery channels. The
result is efficient and cost-effective operation of channels.
Harmonic will demonstrate OTT and broadcast channel origination
using hybrid on-premises and cloud workflows with Aveco automation
at IBC2019, Sept. 13-17, in
Amsterdam, at Stand 1.B20. Further
