Bridging the Gap Between Signal Acquisition and Delivery

As part of a unique and powerful end-to-end solution, the Level 3SM Encoding Services platform combines our award-winning Level 3 Vyvx® signal acquisition network with Level 3's CDN platform to enable IP delivery of media assets acquired from any Vyvx location. We leverage the Vyvx Broadcast network to acquire video signals, via satellite or fiber, at full broadcast resolution. Broadcast signals from venues, arenas, or studios are then easily routed to Level 3 Broadcast Encoding Centers (BECs) and onto our CDN platform for either streaming or download delivery.
