WHY THIS PARTNERSHIP EXISTS

A strategic partnership SKANDHAmedia services × mediaexcel Exclusive reseller

Most broadcasters and OTT platforms in the region don’t lose because of the encoder they chose. They lose because integration drags, support is asynchronous, and accountability is fragmented across vendors. We fixed that.

Revolutionize your content delivery workflow with our comprehensive suite of encoding and transcoding services.

Best-in-class technology is necessary. It is not sufficient.

World-class transcoding core

Media Excel HERO is deployed by global broadcasters and OTT operators for 4K HEVC, ultra-low-latency live, and broadcast-grade reliability. You get the same engine — not a watered-down regional clone.

Locally-delivered, end-to-end

Skandha owns architecture, deployment, integration with your CDN/origin/DRM/SCTE workflows, and 24×7 operations from regional NOCs. No tickets bouncing between time zones.

One commercial relationship

As exclusive reseller, Skandha consolidates licensing, support, professional services and SLAs into a single contract — priced and invoiced locally. No FX surprises, no parallel vendor management.

One transcoding architecture. Every workflow.

Linear broadcast, OTT, live events, VoD pipelines and contribution — all on a single, software-defined platform. Deploy on-prem, in the cloud, or hybrid.
