Flexible And Robust Media Distribution
Our service's core strength lies in its scalability and adaptability, allowing us to tailor solutions to meet the unique needs of each client.
Distribution Services
Levira’s innovative approach has led to the creation of a hybrid media distribution network that not only spans the majority of Europe but also caters to some of the most prominent clients in the industry, covering both live and thematic channels with unmatched efficiency.
Our media network is divided into several logical and overlapping service chunks. Each service can be provided separately or combined with others.
-
Channel acquisition – from international media hubs, play-out centers, Internet, or satellite to affiliates across the EU.
-
Channel Localization – localization/opt-out services, where local ads are inserted into the client’s channel and distributed to the designated markets. Allows earning multiple revenue streams from a single channel.
-
Channel Processing – create alternate versions of the channel by removing unnecessary components. Transcode, downscale or create adaptive bitrate versions where needed.
-
Channel Delivery to affiliates – high quality handover of signals to client’s designated operators and platforms, doing so flexibly by providing pay as you go options. Delivery methods are for the customer to specify – cloud, direct handoff, or satellite.
-
End-to-end monitoring – signal quality is ensured and monitored throughout each processing step for every stream entering Levira’s media network, all the way to the hand-over point. Status and alarms are logged. Specialists, in the Levira Service Operation Center, are guaranteeing the good health of the client services 24/7/365.

The Hybrid Model
We leverage a hybrid model that combines fiber and public internet-based solutions, granting unparalleled control over the distribution process and ensuring a seamless playout handover.
This redundancy ensures that even in the unlikely event of simultaneous fiber cuts, our service remains uninterrupted, making it ideal for critical services that demand the highest quality of service.
Levira relies on industry-leading, reliable options such as Zixi, SRT, and RIST, ensuring that our clients' content is distributed smoothly and efficiently, no matter the circumstances
Case Studies
Seamless Transition to Improved Broadcast Services
PBS, a UK-based broadcast channel with a team of four and no in-house technical expertise, faced the challenge of reducing operational costs without compromising service quality. Previously partnering with providers who offered a high quality, high cost service, the channel shifted to an IP-based service provider to make cost savings. This move, however presented a new set of technical and management challenges, prompting the search for a new partner that could deliver both cost-efficiency and technical reliability. This search led PBS to Levira.
