Featuring AI-powered video compression and quality optimization technology, Harmonic’s XOS media processor enables Persidera to reliably deliver crystal-clear video quality at the lowest possible bitrates.
“When designing our next-gen video delivery infrastructure, it was important for us to collaborate with a technology provider that offers flexible, future-proof solutions. We specifically sought a partner that supports IP-based DVB solutions with SFN and T2 adaptation,” said Guido Fermetti, COO at Persidera. “Harmonic’s XOS media processor supports SDI and full IP, simplifying our workflows and boosting operational efficiency. Through Harmonic’s unparalleled local support, we can help our customers deliver an outstanding quality of experience.”
