TLALNEPANTLA DE BAZ, MEXICO — Video software provider Synamedia today has been signed by TelevisaUnivision to serve as its partner of choice for a complete overhaul of its Televisa network broadcast distribution platform in Mexico.
Televisa will accomplish this through the use of Synamedia’s Media Edge Gateway (MEG) and PowerVu across its 180 stations. The goal is to increase video distribution, processing and delivery agility.
During the evaluation phase, Televisa used dozens of MEGs as a part of its strategy to broadcast the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Synamedia managed backup channels and frame rate conversion. The success of this project contributed to Televisa’s decision to select Synamedia as its new software partner.
Earlier this month, one of Televisa’s largest stations went live with Synamedia MEG and PowerVu across the city of Guadalaraja. The project will continue to roll out through Summer 2024 and in stages for the next two years, to cover all stations in Mexico.
