For OTT and pay-TV providers that need to scale services to millions of viewers, Synamedia is highlighting the many ways it can overcome this challenge. Highly-efficient video delivery with Vivid OTT and Fluid EdgeCDN supports ultra-low latency applications for sports viewing experiences such as watch parties and betting. Complementing this, Quortex Play (formerly Quortex IO) provides just-in-time live video streaming through a self-service SaaS solution that enables service creation in a few clicks and automatically scales cloud resources up or down from a few viewers to millions. beIN and Cellcom used Quortex Play to meet increased viewing needs during the World Cup 2022.

For broadcasters facing the challenges of affiliate distribution to support the increasing number of live events, Synamedia is showcasing its Vivid PowerVu and Quortex Link cloud-based solutions. It will highlight how customers moving to IP-based distribution with Vivid PowerVu benefit from lower costs, improved reliability and new monetisation opportunities with ad insertion, alongside broadcast-equivalent latency. SportsMax, the Caribbean’s premier sports broadcaster, deployed Vivid PowerVu to move its distribution to the cloud in just days. At the show, Synamedia is unveiling Quortex Link for one-click video distribution to dramatically reduce the time and investment needed to establish a video distribution link. What previously took months and significant Capex can now be achieved in seconds with a low-risk, pay-as-you-use model.

“The goal posts have moved with live sports streaming and the smart money is on new, immersive fan experiences,” said Julien Signes, General Manager of Video Network, Synamedia. “It’s no longer enough for streamers to match broadcast latency and expect to keep viewers satisfied – they depend on robust, scalable technologies more than ever before. At NAB 2023, we are demonstrating, through real-life experiences, exactly how our portfolio will create new experiences that will be big wins with viewers and new revenue streams for service providers.”
