Unveiled ahead of NAB 2026, the solution is designed for users of ATX’s XDS platform, particularly the XDS-PRO S receiver. It provides near real-time audio distribution through IP network connectivity at a latency of three seconds, which is likely to improve the synchronization of live broadcast events such as news and sports, where time is of utmost importance to viewers.

This innovative technology will make use of already existing equipment, thus making it unnecessary for broadcasters to have expensive upgrades done to their systems. Early testing suggests compatibility beyond the XDS-PRO S platform, with broader rollout planned following a beta release.

Apart from improving the immediate performances, the HLS service also constitutes part of ATX’s long-term plan of moving towards a cloud-based delivery method. In its future, the company is planning to develop a new version that will have additional features as well as being compatible with the existing ones. Thus, the broadcaster will be able to move from the conventional delivery method, which involves using satellites, to an integrated system.

As another way to move towards a cloud-based delivery system, ATX has developed what can be referred to as hardware as a service. The new system will reduce the costs associated with the purchase of new equipment since it is subscription based rather than an investment-based expense.

As the broadcast landscape evolves, ATX’s latest developments position it to help radio networks adapt to changing technical and economic demands while maintaining continuity in service delivery.
