New Service Simplifies Integration of AI Applications with Exceptional Reliability and Security

SAN JOSE, Calif. April 14, 2026 Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced a breakthrough new AI orchestration service that enables broadcasters, streamers and service providers to seamlessly integrate AI applications into live video workflows with broadcast-grade reliability and security. The service empowers media companies to efficiently and securely enhance their workflows with best-of-breed AI applications developed by Harmonic and its trusted partners. As a result, service providers can lower AI-related investments and accelerate time to market for more personalized, cost-efficient live streaming and broadcast services.

As video workflows increasingly become more complex and distributed, media companies face growing challenges with fragmented AI tools, complex integrations and inconsistent reliability, said Yaniv Sibony, vice president of growth product management at Harmonic. Our new AI orchestration service changes the game by enabling multiple AI applications to operate from a unified control plane, with built-in reliability and security, helping media companies innovate faster, reduce complexity and confidently bring AI-powered video experiences to market.

Boosting Video Workflow Efficiency with a Unified AI Control Plane

Harmonic's AI orchestration service aggregates, orchestrates, maintains and updates AI applications implemented by Harmonic and best-in-class partners. Through a unified interface, service providers can easily configure, schedule and activate AI applications dynamically for simpler, more cost-effective operations. The service coordinates AI-based processing for live content, synchronizes outputs across multiple AI engines and ensures seamless failover through built-in redundancy mechanisms.

Available as a stand-alone SaaS offering, the orchestration service supports a suite of AI-driven applications, including real-time audio translation and transcription, dubbing and localization, automated live sports highlight generation, scene-level metadata generation, ad-break detection and in-stream ad triggering. Built for the broader ecosystem, the service works natively with Harmonic's full suite of media processing solutions including VOS 360 Media SaaS, VOS Media Software, XOS media processor and Spectrum X Plus.

Delivering Broadcast-Grade Reliability

Harmonic's AI orchestration service offers media companies a host of benefits, including:

Unified Governance: Service providers can manage multiple AI vendors from a single, secure control plane.

Synchronized Processing: Precise alignment of AI outputs across multiple engines enables media companies to deliver frame-accurate broadcast and streaming services.

Built-in Redundancy: Seamless failover mechanisms, combined with security and health monitoring for AI tasks, help service providers prevent on-air disruptions.

Dynamic Scheduling: Service providers can effortlessly schedule and activate AI applications on a per live event basis.

Simplifying AI Adoption

By unifying multiple AI applications into a single platform, the AI orchestration service enables media companies to avoid costly integration cycles and rip-and-replace upgrades as AI technologies evolve. Ultimately, the service accelerates time to market for new AI-powered offerings by eliminating the need for complex integrations and repeated platform migrations.
