News Image
Video delivery infrastructure leader, Harmonic, has announced the Harmonic Virtual Media API (VMA) – an open application control interface for broadcast automation control of its VOS virtualized media processing platform.

Supported by the Electra XVM virtualized media processor and the Electra X family of advanced media processors, the VMA has been adopted by service providers and broadcast automation vendors, including Pebble Beach Systems, Dayang Technology Development Inc. and VJU.

The VOS platform ecosystem creates a fully integrated, cloud-based playout, graphics and encoding solution that can be used by video content and service providers to create and deliver live linear channels to any device faster, with a lower TCO and amazing video quality.

Bart Spriester, senior vice president, video products, Harmonic, said: "The integrated functionalities offered by Electra XVM and Electra X media processors have already been deployed globally by numerous Harmonic customers.

"With the announcement of our open VMA for intelligent control, Harmonic increases operational efficiencies and cost savings for video content and service providers, while enabling them to realize the full capabilities of virtualization, unlocking new workflows such as OTT delivery and IP-based playout solutions for linear integrated channel/channel-in-a-box, cloud and edge applications."
