IBC2025: MediaKind teams with Viaccess-Orca to engage audiences faster

MediaKind and Viaccess-Orca (VO) have announced a strategic partnership to deliver a pre-integrated, ready-to-launch TV solution designed for efficiency, speed, and cost-effectiveness.

The joint solution combines MediaKind’s MK.IO cloud-scale video streaming with VO’s proven service platform, content protection, and client applications. By eliminating the complexity of custom integration, the MK.IO-VO platform enables providers to deliver premium, secure, high-quality streaming experiences quickly and with minimal effort.

Unlike traditional build-it-yourself deployments, this joint platform is engineered to launch in minutes, scale seamlessly, and reduce total cost of ownership, all while maintaining enterprise-grade video quality, robust security, and advanced user engagement features.

Why this partnership matters for customers

• Faster time-to-market – Avoids long build cycles; the platform is pre-integrated helping operators launch services quickly and focus on customers.
• Grow without overspending – Scale usage flexibly and only pay in line with growth, keeping costs predictable and efficient.
• Ready from day one – A proven ecosystem with secure client apps to start engaging viewers immediately.

“Operators no longer want to wrestle with complexity just to get to market. By combining MK.IO’s elastic video capabilities with VO’s trusted platform and client apps, we’re enabling customers to launch premium services faster, at lower cost, and without compromise, while giving them the agility to evolve as viewing habits and business models continue to change,” says Andrew Payson, VP of Corporate Development at MediaKind.

“This partnership is about creating the right solution for the right tier of customer. Together, VO and MediaKind are delivering a pre-integrated platform that balances speed, security, monetization and experience, empowering service providers to scale and compete effectively,” says Einat Kahana, VP of Product Solutions at Viaccess-Orca.
