Harmonic Inc. is expanding its media workflow capabilities with the introduction of a new AI orchestration service, designed to bring AI-driven functions into the core of video processing and delivery. The service enables broadcasters and content owners to aggregate, manage, and orchestrate AI tools alongside existing workflows—making it easier to apply automation, analysis, and optimisation at scale.

Alongside this, Harmonic is unveiling the next generation of its Harmonic Spectrum X platform. The updated system delivers increased performance and flexibility, supporting more efficient media processing and playout workflows across a range of broadcast and streaming environments.

Together, these developments point to a more integrated future—where AI isn’t bolted on as an afterthought, but embedded directly into the workflow to improve speed, efficiency, and operational control.
