Video software provider Synamedia says its Media Edge Gateway mini (MEG.mini) will cut costs and reduce time to market from months to days.
Launching at NAB 2024, this latest addition to Synamedia’s SaaS-based B2B video distribution portfolio extends Quortex PowerVu and Quortex Link with a cost-effective solution to deliver small numbers of channels by using optimised, flexible software-based processing on low-cost platforms.
Unlike traditional receivers that require large investments, Synamedia’s MEG.mini cuts CapEx and is available with a full OpEx usage model. This unique approach gives content owners the ability to ciy costs by 80%.
“There’s an increasing sense of urgency for content providers to find new routes for video distribution to remain competitive and accelerate revenue,” said Elke Hungenaert, vice president of product management, video network, Synamedia.?”We have designed MEG.mini to address the main IP transition roadblock – cost – complemented by a choice of SaaS distribution solutions to meet all content providers’ requirements with the elasticity and time to market advantages of the cloud. In addition, MEG.mini delivers the benefits of IP including lower costs, low latency, and the ease of adding new user experiences and monetization techniques.”
MEG.mini complements Synamedia’s edge reception and processing platform MEG, launched in 2020. The other members of Synamedia’s family of SaaS video distribution solutions are Quortex Link, for one-click cloud distribution of live content, and, a full-service platform for primary distribution to affiliates with best-in-class viewing experiences and bandwidth efficiency. MEG.mini can be deployed standalone in a traditional CapEx model or as an OpEx software subscription with Quortex PowerVu or Quortex Link.
