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. “Harmonic’s AI orchestration service provides a unified, secure and reliable way to deploy and manage AI applications across live video workflows — whether on-premises, in the cloud or in hybrid environments.”
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.
Harmonic will demonstrate its innovative AI orchestration service at the 2026 NAB Show, April 19–22, in Las Vegas in booth W2831. Further information about Harmonic and the company’s solutions is available at www.harmonicinc.com.
