A SaaS portfolio built to work together, helping operators grow audiences, monetise smarter and run leaner, on their own terms

At IBC 2026 (stand 1.B49) Synamedia is introducing a new version of itself a strategic technology partner helping operators solve, and future-proof, the business of video.

Following the launch of Synamedia's next chapter in July 2026, the UK-headquartered company has refocused its positioning around enabling media organisations to retain and grow audiences, open new revenue streams, and reduce complexity and operational cost. It comes at a moment when the industry needs to shift its focus from technology transitions to business outcomes. Synmedia delivers those outcomes through streaming and advertising SaaS solutions powered by cloud and AI technology. Customers can adopt them individually, combine them as needed, or deploy them across their full video service.

Backed by decades of engineering experience in mission-critical, large scale video systems, Synamedias new model gives operators the confidence to modernise on their own terms, at scale - keeping what already works while adding new capabilities as their business evolves.

Dr Tzvi Gerstl, CEO, Synamedia says, Our next chapter is about focusing Synamedia's technology, portfolio and expertise around business outcomes. We are building on the strengths that have always defined Synamedia, while bringing our capabilities together in a much more integrated way to help customers innovate, simplify and improve the economics of their video business.

We are delighted that many customers have selected Synamedia this year, including BFBS, Partner Communications and Mileto, with several choosing multiple solutions from across our portfolio. For me, that is strong validation of the direction we are taking and of the value we can create when our technologies and capabilities work together around the customer's business outcomes.
