Harmonic Announces Breakthrough In Video Streaming Innovation

Harmonic has announced a breakthrough in video streaming innovation with the launch of new origin capabilities.
Service providers and broadcasters can tap into the new origin features through Harmonic's VOS® family and XOS Advanced Media Processor to optimise efficiency and flexibility while driving down costs. The origin advancements will be showcased in the Harmonic booth at the 2025 NAB Show.
Harmonic's new origin capabilities combine cloud and on-premises storage by leveraging VOS360 Media SaaS and VOS Media Software. This hybrid approach taps into the efficiency and elasticity of the cloud for less frequently accessed content while using on-premises storage for fresh video assets. Older content, including nPVR assets, is automatically moved to cloud storage.
The cloud-native solution is easy to configure, as it utilises the same intuitive UI for all media processing capabilities. Service providers can efficiently scale storage based on demand by utilising on-premises infrastructure for fixed workloads and leveraging cloud scalability for large asset repositories. This balanced strategy improves flexibility and reduces cloud storage costs.
Harmonic is also introducing live and time-shift origin capabilities within its XOS Advanced Media Processor. By collapsing the origin functionality into the XOS Media Processor, Harmonic enables broadcasters to stream live content directly to CDNs using a single appliance, minimising operational complexity and reducing hardware costs. The plug-and-play solution is ideal for live and time-shift content, providing users with an easy-to-deploy, cost-effective option.
Harmonic will demonstrate its new origin capabilities at the 2025 NAB Show, April 6-9, in booth W2821.
