Shop LC and The Jewelry Channel Elevate Online Shopping Experience with Harmonic SAN JOSE, Calif. - Oct. 16, 2019 - Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced that Austin, Texas-based online auction shopping network Shop LC and its U.K.-based sister company, The Jewelry Channel (TJC), leaders in internet retailing of jewelry and lifestyle products, will use Harmonic solutions to power their OTT services. Using Harmonic's VOS 360 SaaS, Shop LC and TJC will be able to distribute live OTT content to any screen with exceptional quality of experience and low latency, as well as deliver on-demand content for web shoppers.

Low latency is critical for live OTT.

Using its time-shift feature, Shop LC and TJC can easily create high-quality VOD assets for use on their website, including videos and images related to retail products, thereby offering an enhanced shopping experience to customers.

Harmonic's expertise in cloud and video streaming technologies ensures that Shop LC and TJC can provide a world-class live OTT experience to customers, along with high-quality on-demand content that engages customers and boosts sales, said Shahar Bar, senior vice president, video products and corporate development, at Harmonic.
