Axinom Partners With VisualOn

Axinom and VisualOn have announced a strategic partnership to jointly streamline the delivery of premium VoD content in bandwidth-constrained environments.

Axinom Encoding, part of Axinom Mosaic platform, now natively integrates VisualOn Optimizer, which can be enabled with a single checkbox inside the user interface.

The Optimizer uses per-scene encoding to reduce file size by up to 67%, while maintaining excellent visual quality. VMAF scores stay the same or even improve. Another important aspect: this does not require the latest high-end devices – it works with the most common codecs, like H.264, H.265, and AV1, allowing customers to reach the widest audience. The result: a superior user experience boasting faster streaming, lower delivery costs, and better performance across networks with limited throughput.

One early production use case comes from the aviation sector, where a leading global airline streams VoD content to passengers using LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite connectivity. In this environment, bandwidth is both technically limited and costly — making file size optimisation critical to ensure smooth playback and cost-efficient delivery. By using VisualOn Optimizer within Axinom Encoding, the airline can reliably deliver high-quality video to aircraft while staying within strict bandwidth constraints.

A recent technical analysis from Axinom benchmarked the Optimizer’s performance using various encoding methods and test content. The study validated significant bitrate savings alongside consistently high video quality — supported by side-by-side visual comparisons and objective VMAF scoring.

With the integration, Axinom strengthens its Mosaic platform — which powers secure ingest, transcoding, DRM, and playback orchestration for major media and travel brands. The partnership further validates VisualOn’s NAB-awarded Optimizer, demonstrating its powerful capabilities and seamless effectiveness in highly demanding, bandwidth constrained environments.

As the cost of video delivery continues to rise, smarter, adaptive encoding is becoming a must-have — not just for streaming services, but for any industry where efficient media delivery matters.
