TV Playout
Levira stands at the forefront of broadcasting innovation, operating one of the most significant independent playout centers in Northern Europe.
Our broadcasting reach extends through the Baltics, Scandinavia, Europe, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, supported by a team of seasoned professionals and the latest in technological advancements.
We offer a spectrum of TV playout and media asset management services, ranging from straightforward SD broadcasts to intricate HD formats that incorporate live programming, dynamic graphics, translations, and a suite of features tailored to meet the evolving demands of today’s audiences. Our commitment to quality and agility ensures we meet high standards and adapt swiftly to any requirement.
Streaming Ad Insertion Service
Our cutting-edge Opt-out (content/ad-insertion) service enables broadcasters to localize international or regional feeds by integrating local promotions, commercials, or altering channel content to align with specific market expectations. This service leverages triggers (cue-tones) from the original broadcast or its schedule to seamlessly switch to local content upon command. In scenarios devoid of triggers, similar adjustments are made based on playout schedules. We offer customized solutions combining full playout and opt-out services to meet diverse broadcasting needs.

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.
