For Tier 2,4 broadcasters, IPTV operators, and integrators, the headend architecture conversation has been the same for years. You need hardware and software. And the moment you choose them separately, you own the integration: the testing, the troubleshooting, the gaps between what each vendor promises and what actually ships together. That's the problem we set out to solve with this partnership.

What we built together

DVEO and StreamVX sit on opposite sides of the same operator project, and that's exactly why this works.

DVEO brings the hardware backbone: encoders, integrated receiver decoders (IRDs), playout servers, ASI/IP infrastructure, and 24/7 managed operations via Stream Republic by DVEO. We've been doing this since 1981, across broadcast, hospitality, government, and IPTV networks across North America and beyond.

StreamVX brings the software layer: vxTranscoder for hardware-agnostic encoding, vxOTT Gateway for multi-codec packaging and OTT delivery (HLS, DASH, CMAF), vxDRM Gateway for multi-DRM from a single server (Widevine, FairPlay, PlayReady), DAI Factory for dynamic ad insertion across TS, manifest, and FAST modes, vxQuality System for perceptual quality optimization, and vxStatMux for statistical multiplexing.

Together, we cover the full path from signal acquisition to monetized stream, without forcing operators to source, integrate, and support two separate vendor relationships.

Four use cases, available now

• Turnkey on-prem OTT headends: DVEO hardware plus StreamVX software, packaged as a single project with one integration point and one support contact. For operators transitioning away from aging appliances or end-of-support legacy encoding platforms, this is the fastest path to a modern headend.

• FAST channel monetization: Our playout and FAST distribution rails paired with StreamVX DAI Factory for server-side ad insertion across TS streams, HLS/DASH manifests, and FAST channel manifests. True SSAI and ad personalization at scale, without rebuilding your distribution stack.

• Hospitality (hotel IPTV): DVEO's hospitality offering and deep installer network across North America, extended with StreamVX multi-tenancy, low-CPU encoding, and mass-channel manifest manipulation. A complete IPTV solution for property networks of any scale.

• Government and public-sector video: DVEO's US compliance posture and established installed base, combined with StreamVX air-gapped DRM and on-prem deployment for sovereignty-sensitive workloads. Built for environments where cloud is not an option.

What operators and integrators gain

The pitch is simple: one less stack to glue together, and a faster path from "we have a project" to "it's on air." For operators re-evaluating their headend architecture, pressed by aging appliances, end-of-support cycles for legacy live-encoding platforms, and rising demand for FAST and addressable advertising, the integration risk has always been the hidden cost no vendor wants to own.

"Operators in North America have been asking us for a complete software layer to pair with our hardware, one they don't have to source, integrate, and support on their own. StreamVX delivers exactly that, explains Wouter van Ruth, Global Partnerships and Sales of DVEO. “Together, we give operators a single project, a single support path, and a stack that covers everything from signal acquisition to monetized OTT delivery. That's what our customers have been waiting for."

StreamVX brings the same urgency to the operator side of the equation. The gap between a procurement decision and a live channel has historically been measured in months, not because the technology isn't ready, but because the integration work is.

"For years, operators have had to choose between a hardware vendor and a software vendor, and then carry the integration risk themselves. With DVEO, we put both layers on the table as one project, and that's the difference between a procurement cycle and being on air in weeks, not months," says Simon Karbowski, Co-founder & CEO, StreamVX.
