Synamedia AI innovations and more at IBC 2025

08/09/2025

Leading video software provider, Synamedia, today revealed the breadth of new innovations it will showcase at IBC 2025 (Hall 1, stand B49) as it provides a glimpse into the future of streaming. Synamedia will highlight how AI is redefining video networking, advertising, service operations and the user experience including enhancements to Synamedia Go, Quortex Play, and dynamic ad insertion. IBC also marks the European debut of Quortex Switch, the industry's first standards-based dynamic CDN switching solution, with new integration with Quortex Play.

One year on from the launch of the Synamedia Senza, Synamedia will present its vision of how viewing experiences will evolve over the next five years. Using AI to unlock new levels of content discovery and personalised viewing experiences, the Senza and Synamedia GO demo blends together TV and streaming with videos from any social platform and it provides a seamless user experience across TV screens and mobile devices.

For example, when a viewer is watching a basketball game and a friend notifies them on social media that they are live streaming from the court, the user can add their friend's feed - and others - to the screen. An AI ad generator, connected to the Synamedia Iris addressable advertising platform, then creates a video ad for that team's shirt, tailored for whoever is in the room.

Synamedia Go's AI also underpins personalised content discovery and filters preferences using natural language for conversational search on mobile devices while showing the results on the TV. Personalised viewing recommendations across TV and social are presented by an AI agent in a dynamic video customised for each viewer. Other products that contribute to the demo are Synamedia Gravity which monitors broadband performance and Synamedia ContentArmor for watermarking premium content to detect piracy.

In a separate demo, Synamedia Go addresses one of the industry's key challenges: effective and efficient content discovery across all forms of content including live and the fast-growing short form. By layering in AI-powered personalisation, metadata and visuals, the demo shows how viewers can contextually and intuitively discover the content they want to watch while streaming service providers maximise their return on valuable content investments.

Complementing the Iris advertising platform, Synamedia will demonstrate how its dynamic ad insertion technology delivers powerful business and operational insights including measurable ROI for decision-making. It provides full visibility into advertising effectiveness, with new tools that analyse ad impressions and revenue by channel and device. Going further, it identifies untapped monetisation potential by tracking ad filler duration and quantifying monetisation loss caused by the ad ecosystem. This helps maximise ad yield and minimises revenue leakage. Its manifest manipulation technology also enables use cases including sports blackouts and channel origination for primary distribution.

Synamedia will unveil the integration of ContentArmor forensic watermarking with the SaaS-based Quortex Play platform, making it easy for customers to watermark their live stream. By adding ContentArmor watermarking to live events and 24x7 channels, Quortex Play customers can easily identify the origin of leaks and take disruptive counter measures. ContentArmor does this by embedding imperceptible watermarks in the content to identify the individual accounts of unauthorised users and malicious actors. Another ContentArmor demo will show how it prevents CDN leeching. Synamedia will also introduce new Quortex Play dashboards that give customers insights into operational performance and monetisation for enhanced decision-making.

Synamedia today announced that it is joining Akamai, Cisco, and CDN77 as a founding member of OpenMOQ, a new consortium to advance MOQ, the emerging IETF standard for high performance publish/subscribe communications. OpenMOQ will build open-source software to enable MOQ for media use-cases including ingest, primary distribution, and delivery at scale. This shared foundation will avoid fragmented proprietary stacks and foster industry-wide collaboration. The consortium is open to new founding members, united by the belief that MOQ is the next-generation protocol for video streaming.

Continuing to showcase AI innovations, Synamedia will demo how its AI agents and Large Language Models allow users to converse with its products using natural language to configure and optimise workflows. The implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Quortex Link enables new interactions. Users can simply chat with Quortex Link to automatically monitor and orchestrate configurations. For example, if a user wants to configure a distribution link they can simply say New York is playing tomorrow' and the agent will suggest a configuration and, on user confirmation, will automatically set up the link. A user in France need only say PSG joue demain soir .

Another technology will demonstrate AI processing in a live video pipeline to identify sports events and enrich the stream with metadata on the fly, even at ultra-high speed with MOQ. The demo, with Synamedia partner Six Floor Solutions, automatically determines there is a basketball match in progress and detects elements including a foul, a three-point basket, etc. One of the Synamedia contributions to the new IETF's MOQ protocol is a way to transport this AI metadata along the video stream for processing at the desired latency.

Synamedia will also preview its AI-powered video quality agent that automates encoder evaluation, allowing operators to improve quality, lower bitrate and cut operational costs. This replaces days of labour-intensive testing with automated quality measurement analysis, delivering results in
