Signal : Broadcast-grade transport, processing & playout

Signal carries the essence. Content is only as good as the chain that carries it: it has to be brought in, cleaned, prepared and played out flawlessly. Hexalia’s Signal solution is the carrier layer of the media chain: the messenger that moves premium video in and readies it, from contribution and ingest through media processing to channel playout, with the reliability broadcasters expect and the flexibility streaming demands. One resilient foundation for every downstream service, live or on-demand.

Transport & Ingest

Getting the signal in (reliably, from anywhere) is where every project starts.

We move live and file-based content between sites, data centres and the cloud over managed, low-latency links, using open standards such as SRT and RIST for contribution that stays rock-solid even over unmanaged networks. Redundant paths and automatic failover keep premium feeds on air. We also capture and normalise incoming sources (live feeds, files and third-party streams) into clean, standardised media ready for processing, with scheduled and event-based ingest, format detection and quality checks meaning nothing enters the chain unvalidated, whatever the codec.

Media processing

Turning raw signal into every format your audiences and platforms require.

High-density live and file transcoding produces every rendition, bitrate and codec you need (from broadcast profiles to adaptive OTT ladders) with the encoding quality and efficiency built over 100,000+ files processed daily. We package to HLS and DASH, apply multi-DRM protection and insert the metadata, captions and ad markers downstream services depend on: content leaves this stage protected, standards-compliant and ready for delivery to any screen.

Media processing

Headend & Playout

We aggregate, decrypt, groom and re-multiplex incoming services into a clean, monitored line-up: the IP headend that feeds both traditional distribution and streaming origins from a single operated point. We originate and schedule linear channels in the cloud or on-prem, with branding, graphics, ad insertion and seamless switching between live and pre-recorded content, automated, monitored 24/7 and backed by our SLAs.
