FAQ

Levira Media Services FAQ

Levira Media Services (LMS) is Levira's UK-based media services company, providing managed playout, media processing, distribution and broadcast operations for broadcasters, content owners and media platforms. It's based in Leeds and supports UK and international clients.

Managed playout is an outsourced service where a provider runs the scheduling, ingest, compliance monitoring and channel origination for a TV channel or digital service on the client's behalf, rather than the client running that operation in-house.

In-house playout means a broadcaster owns and staffs its own playout infrastructure. Managed playout, like Levira Media Services provides, means an external partner runs that infrastructure and operations, which reduces the client’s capital investment and staffing overhead while providing 24/7 monitoring and broadcast-grade reliability.

LMS supports delivery across linear broadcast, FAST (free ad-supported streaming TV), and on-demand/OTT platforms, including content preparation, transcoding, workflow automation and distribution into operator and OTT ecosystems.

No. LMS is based in Leeds, UK, but supports both UK and international clients, extending Levira’s Estonia-based broadcast infrastructure and engineering expertise into the UK market.
