SAN JOSE, Calif. — May 19, 2025 — Harmonic today announced that Cignal TV, a leading pay-TV provider in the Philippines, has expanded its partnership with Harmonic to modernize channel origination, playout and disaster recovery workflows. Running on the public cloud, VOS360 Media SaaS enables Cignal TV to deliver premium video streaming and broadcast services. In particular, it provides unparalleled efficiency and reliability.
“Harmonic’s approach to cloud-native media processing is a key strategy guiding the modernization of our video streaming and broadcast workflows,” said Caesar Villadiego, head of media and telecoms engineering at Cignal TV. “VOS360 Media SaaS harnesses the power of the cloud to unlock greater flexibility, agility and scalability — enabling us to launch streaming services in hours instead of days.”
Cloud-native streaming platform enhances flexibility, resilience and efficiency
Furthermore, VOS360 Media combines a wide range of media processing functions in a single cloud-native streaming platform. This streamlines Cignal TV’s video operations and reduces infrastructure costs. In addition, the end-to-end video platform supports the delivery of linear TV channels and broadcast services. It also offers future-ready capabilities for live distribution. Consequently, it significantly enhances operational flexibility for Cignal TV. Moreover, the solution enables Cignal TV to remotely switch local playout operations to the cloud for disaster recovery. Leveraging a secure SRT connection, the VOS360 platform delivers channels from the cloud to Cignal TV’s compression headend or disaster recovery site. Notably, this occurs without service disruption. As a result, this ensures service continuity and high availability. In turn, it allows Cignal TV to deliver a consistent, seamless video experience to viewers.
“Our collaboration with Cignal TV underscores Harmonic’s commitment to empowering media service providers with agile, cloud-native solutions for video streaming and broadcast delivery,” said Tony Berthaud. “By embracing our VOS360 platform, Cignal TV is bringing its vision for scalable, flexible and secure video operations to life — with the speed, reliability and efficiency that the cloud offers.” Harmonic’s solution was successfully deployed in collaboration with local partner Composite Technology.
