Harmonic will also demonstrate its award-winning EyeQ content-aware encoding solution, which reduces bandwidth requirements for OTT delivery by up to 50 percent, decreases CDN costs and improves QoE.

In addition, Harmonic will demonstrate its new end-to-end UHD HDR solution for live sports streaming with low latency using the next-generation Common Media Application Format (CMAF) standard. The solution features Harmonic's ViBE CP9000 HD/UHD contribution encoder for ingest into the cloud and VOS 360 media processing SaaS for encoding, packaging, origin and OTT distribution.
