ENABLING THE VIDEO ECONOMY

We live in the midst of an expanding video economy—one driven by innovation, competition, and the emergence of new distribution models including over-the-top (OTT) and Web-ready mobile devices that give consumers instant media access from any device, any time or anywhere. While the pay-TV industry continues to grow on a global scale, these changing consumer expectations offers content producers and service providers new opportunities to monetize content across a wider range of platforms.

As changing modes of video consumption affect the way that content is produced, packaged, and distributed, Harmonic provides the supply chain infrastructure—from production through delivery—that enables content providers and service providers alike to engage and prosper in today’s video economy. Our solutions provide the performance, versatility, and reliability essential for the delivery of high-value goods
and services to a multi-screen environment.

For multiscreen services, our Rhozet media transcoders allow seamless conversion of all major formats for web, mobile and more.
