Harmonic Receives IABM Design & Innovation Award

At IBC2016, Harmonic received the IABM Award for Design & Innovation for its VOS 360 cloud media processing service.

The service – www.vos360.tv – was given the award in the services category due in part to its native cloud-based approach, changing video production and delivery for live and VOD content.

By providing operators with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, hosted in the Cloud and maintained and monitored by Harmonic, VOS 360 allows customers and business partners to launch revenue-generating, broadcast-quality OTT services in minutes instead of months with reduced capex and high video quality.

Commenting on the accolade, Bart Spriester, senior vice president, Video Products, Harmonic, said: "We are honored to accept this significant industry award recognizing Harmonic for its contribution in optimizing video production and delivery. The VOS 360 cloud media processing service is just the latest addition to our portfolio of comprehensive solutions that help customers and business partners cost-effectively deploy traditional television and next-generation multiscreen services with exceptional video quality. This award further showcases our commitment to creating innovative solutions that move our industry forward."

"Periods of major change and disruption in the industry stimulate some of the most exciting and innovative developments, with new generation solutions for a wider range of broadcast and media activities," said John Ive, IABM Director of Technology and Strategic Insight, and Chair of the awards judging panel. "This award recognizes the value of Harmonic's VOS 360 to broadcasters and other service providers as they evolve their business models to keep ahead of rapidly changing media consumption habits."
