Virtual Channel Creation helps broadcasters and content providers to increase relevance and reach both for their viewers and advertisers by creating regionalized and customized online channels in a cost-efficient manner. The solution has proven especially valuable when adding regional news or weather to national channels or to provide regionalized ad insertion.

Virtual Channel Creation is based on a unique technology where content is stitched together from various sources into a channel. Compared to the needs typically posed by other systems, it does not require the significant investments in production, encoding and storage capacity.

Regional channels are often encoded and stored as full channels, meaning the national content is encoded and stored multiple times – once per regional channel. With Virtual Channel Creation, national content only needs to be stored and encoded once. Regional content can then be stitched into the national channel to create each full regional channel. As a result, encoder and storage needs are reduced. If using cloud-based encoders, the cost savings enabled by this is significant. Similarly, the need for NAS storage, which is required to create Live to VoD content, is reduced.

Virtual Channel Creation also provides an option to use lower bitrate options of the regional content, reducing the encoder and storage need even further. Use cases demonstrate a 95% encoder capacity saving for national channels and an 89% encoder saving for regional channels when using the option to use a lower bitrate variant for the regional channels.

It can also be used to insert public safety messages, as well as efficiently manage restrictions in content distribution rights by inserting replacement segments, programs or providing a blackout solution, even for time-shifted content.

Virtual Channel Creation resides within StreamBuilder, providing broadcasters and content providers with segmentation, packaging and subtitling functionality needed for internet-based distribution.

Media supply chains have traditionally been built with the focus being on servicing linear content, with digital workflows added after the fact. These dual linear and digital chains create duplication, slow agility and increase OPEX. Fuse Publisher gives broadcasters and content owners the ability to bring these siloed systems and workflows together, delivering a unified, digital first supply chain, lowering latency, duplication, operational costs and TCO, while increasing agility, productivity, speed to market and revenue. This shared infrastructure enables the ability to automatically syndicate content to a defined set of endpoints and distributors, maximizing advertising revenue and delivering content when, where and how end users want it.

Introducing EMSSThe Enriched Media Streaming Solution (EMSS) standardises the interaction between a Server Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) server and the video player.

The exchange of metadata is not standardised, resulting in multiple proprietary systems. This means that custom integrations for SSAI are almost always necessary for each SSAI solution, which then leads to vendor lock-in.

EMSS SpecificationThe specification discusses the standard for metadata, how that metadata is transported in HLS or DASH, and how the metadata should be processed.

This specification touches on announcing and annotating ads to the viewer, modifying UI during ad playback, enforcing business rules for skipping over ads and beaconing.

What is HESP?

HESP is an HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) streaming protocol that enables streaming services to be delivered with sub second latency, with a significantly reduced streaming bandwidth, at scale. An impressive list of improvements, further augmented by significantly reduced zapping times, pushing viewer experience and engagement to the next level.

HESP allows you to stream with, on average, a latency that is 7 times lower than current industry standard low-latency HAS approaches. An end-to-end latency of up to 400ms can be achieved. Low enough to enable new interactive TV formats and services. When using the HESP protocol the average zapping time is 20 times faster than with industry standard low latency streaming approaches. With a zapping time of less than 100ms, the channel change will happen in the blink of an eye.

What is the HESP Alliance?

The HESP Alliance was launched on the 1st July 2020. The HESP Alliance was launched by founding members; THEO Technologies and Synamedia. With the aim to bring together streaming video vendors and media companies to provide superior online video quality of experience at reduced cost through standardising and advancing the High Efficiency Streaming Protocol (HESP) and marketing of HESP solutions.

With Harmonic’s award-winning VOS360 media processing SaaS, content and service providers can move their offerings to the cloud and quickly launch new OTT services, without investing heavily in infrastructure. Harmonic’s solutions support the entire media processing workflow from ingest to distribution, increasing efficiency and cost savings; provide elastic capacity to support new services or peak events; and offer pay-as-you-grow pricing, boosting monetization.

Recently, Harmonic enhanced VOS360 SaaS with channel origination in the cloud capabilities for file-based and live streams. These new functionalities provide operators with support for graphics, branding, and digital video effects (DVE) for both file-based and live workflows in addition to pre-existing capabilities such as encoding, encryption and distribution.

By adding channel origination capabilities to VOS360 SaaS, Harmonic is helping drive the transition to software-based and cloud workflows, allowing video content and service providers to launch OTT offerings faster, increase their operational efficiencies and reduce opex and capex.

Unique playout capabilities and benefits include:

Live and file-based playout: Beyond just processing of live streams in the cloud, VOS360 SaaS allows video content and service providers to deliver file-based content from clips and graphics that augment the live streams. With other key processes (i.e., traffic, billing, asset management) already integrated or present in the cloud storage environment, operators can deliver complete channels that are comprised of live and file-based content all within the cloud infrastructure, without the need for conventional playout solutions. This opens up new monetization opportunities for operators.

Streamlined control: Harmonic offers seamless integration for control systems in the cloud to streamline playout management. An API and user-based controls for the playlist enable users to manage channels, as needed. With the control system present in the cloud environment, users can focus their attention on other important tasks as opposed to continuously checking the playlist status.

Reduced operational costs: Service operators using cloud solutions for OTT delivery would normally perform playout operations on-premises (i.e., playback of video clips, graphics and branding) and send a live stream into the cloud, where they would then apply different delivery platform profiles for broadcast and OTT. Now that VOS360 SaaS includes playout capabilities, operators can run entire channels in the cloud. This dramatically reduces operational costs, because operators no longer need physical infrastructure on-premises. Pay-as-you-go pricing for VOS360 allows operators to realize ROI in the shortest time possible.

Orchestrated management: Playout functionality is built into the VOS360 SaaS solution. There are centralized services for management, profiles, tracking of user accounts, billing, DevOps, interfaces, and more.

Maintenance and monitoring: Harmonic’s VOS360 SaaS is fully maintained and monitored by Harmonic to keep services operational, resulting in better quality of experience for end customers.
