HARMONIC ProStream 9100 ACE
HIGH DENSITY STREAM PROCESSOR
AND TRANSCODER
As an ever-increasing quantity of media is consumed through an ever -increasing variety of
services—including mobile, connected TV, VOD and OTT —content owners and service
providers need an efficient solution for delivering rich video content to multiple devices. They
also need to contain costs.
