This new system reflects the industry's shift towards IP-based delivery, offering a smooth migration path from traditional satellite to hybrid and IP deployments.

This ensures high reliability and continuous updates, making it a robust solution for modern content distribution needs.
Gil Rudge, Harmonic’s SVP of products and Americas sales, highlighted the company’s decade-long leadership in primary distribution, emphasizing that DMS X brings industry-first playout control capabilities to the SaaS environment. The system's ability to manage over 10,000 XOS media processors from a centralized interface underscores its scalability.
