Harmonic, a leading provider of video delivery technology, has recently unveiled how its advanced streaming solutions are being utilized by Brazil's Globoplay video streaming platform. The technology is enabling low-latency live streaming for the 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A – Brazil’s premier football championship.
Globoplay, powered by Harmonic’s VOS360 Media SaaS, can stream top-tier channels with exceptional video quality and minimal delay. This ensures that viewers receive matches in real-time and with superior visual clarity.
The VOS360 Media SaaS solution streamlines every phase of media processing and streaming delivery for this significant sporting event. It offers an end-to-end system that simplifies the entire media processing chain from ingest to playout, transcoding to graphics creation and insertion.
Collaborative deployment in public cloud region
Globo operates Harmonic’s solution within a public cloud region located near its main operations. This strategic deployment was achieved through close collaboration between teams at Globo and Harmonic. The partnership covered comprehensive adjustments to the video system, CDN optimization, and player compatibility.
The result was a seamless rollout that ensured resilience even under high demand conditions typical during major sports events like the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.
Showcasing advanced streaming solutions
Harmonic will be showcasing its innovative streaming solutions at two upcoming industry events: SET Expo 2025 from August 19-21 in Sao Paulo, Brazil at booth 38 (SDB Multimidia), and IBC2025 from September 12-15 in Amsterdam at stand 1.B20.
Diego Ramos, Digital Platform Director at Globo, said:
“Delivering more than 300 matches across 38 rounds of Brazil’s foremost football championship requires a technology partner capable of providing broadcast-grade performance at scale. After thorough evaluation, we chose Harmonic for their reliable low-latency streaming, cloud flexibility, and outstanding DevOps support – all essential to provide fans with an unrivalled live sports streaming experience.”
These exhibitions provide an excellent opportunity for industry professionals to gain firsthand experience of how these cutting-edge technologies can enhance their own broadcasting capabilities. This partnership between Globoplay and Harmonic represents a significant step forward in sports broadcasting, offering fans an enhanced viewing experience with minimal delay. It also demonstrates the potential of advanced streaming technologies in delivering high-quality content for major sporting events.
