Hispasat Peru taps Harmonic for white label streaming and DTH

Satellite operator Hispasat Peru is using video technology outfit Harmonic’s cloud-native platform to power white-label streaming and direct-to-home broadcast services.

Hispasat Peru’s white-label streaming service enables pay-TV operators, internet service providers and regional content companies to offer entertainment without needing a separate infrastructure. Harmonic’s cloud-native VOS solution is designed to enable all stages of media processing — including transcoding, packaging and origin — and delivery for the operator’s streaming service. Integrated with the Nagra OpenTV Video Platform, which includes tools for content aggregation and management, multi-DRM capabilities and allows for an enhanced UX.

Harmonic’s VOS solution, with more than 20 statmux pools and transcoding and scrambling capabilities, also enables satellite broadcast service delivery for Hispasat Peru’s DTH services.

“As one of the leading operators in Latin America, it’s critical for us to launch new video offerings with a fast time to market. Harmonic provides us with a powerful, unified solution for streaming and DTH delivery, allowing us to tap into a modern, cloud-native infrastructure and accelerate the adoption of our new white-label streaming service,” said Javier Izquierdo, managing director of Hispasat Peru.

“With Harmonic’s unified solution, HISPASAT Peru can navigate shifting consumer behaviors and market trends with better agility and flexibility. Whether they’re delivering streaming or satellite services, VOS ignites efficiency for the operator,” said Diego Scillama, vice president, video sales and services, Latin America, at Harmonic.
