Cignal TV Expands Partnership With Harmonic

Harmonic has announced that Cignal TV, a leading pay-TV provider in the Philippines, has expanded its partnership with Harmonic to modernise channel origination, playout and disaster recovery workflows. Running on the public cloud, Harmonic’s VOS®360 Media SaaS enables Cignal TV to deliver premium video streaming and broadcast services to subscribers with unparallelled efficiency and reliability.

"Harmonic's approach to cloud-native media processing is a key strategy guiding the modernisation of our video streaming and broadcast workflows," said Caesar Villadiego, head of media and telecoms engineering at Cignal TV. "Harmonic's VOS360 Media SaaS harnesses the power of the cloud to unlock greater flexibility, agility and scalability — enabling us to launch streaming services in hours instead of days."

Harmonic's VOS360 Media combines a wide range of media processing functions in a single cloud-native platform, streamlining Cignal TV’s video operations and reducing infrastructure costs. The end-to-end video platform supports the delivery of linear TV channels and broadcast services, with future-ready capabilities for live distribution, significantly enhancing operational flexibility for Cignal TV.

The Harmonic solution enables Cignal TV to remotely switch local playout operations to the cloud for disaster recovery. Leveraging a secure SRT connection, the VOS360 platform delivers channels from the cloud to Cignal TV’s compression headend or disaster recovery site without service disruption. This ensures service continuity and high availability, allowing Cignal TV to deliver a consistent, seamless video experience to viewers.

Harmonic's solution was successfully deployed in collaboration with local partner Composite Technology.

Harmonic will demonstrate VOS360 Media SaaS at BroadcastAsia, May 27-29 in Singapore, in stand 5I2-1.
