Harmonic’s market-leading innovations drastically speed up the time to market for new services, boosting bandwidth and CDN cost savings, improving video quality and allowing OTT service providers to deliver latency comparable to broadcast.”
Highlights include:
Deliver Low Latency for Live Sports Events With Industry-First UHD HDR OTT Solution
