Media Convergence

What Media Convergence does

Media Convergence Inc. (MCI), founded in 1999 and headquartered in Quezon City, Philippines, is a privately held broadcast system integrator that designs, deploys, and supports broadcasting and production infrastructure for Philippine TV networks, cable operators, and media production companies. Its technical scope spans the full broadcast chain — on-demand and OTT platforms, content management and media asset management systems, video production workflows (cameras, switchers, graphics, replay), playout automation, master control and branding, RF transmission (digital TV, AM/FM transmitters, antennas, filters, combiners), cable access platforms (CCAP, Edge QAM), satellite and bonded-cellular live video transmission (LiveU, Thuraya), and signal/routing infrastructure.

MCI does not develop proprietary broadcast technology; instead, it resells, integrates, and supports equipment and software from a roughly dozen global technology partners — led by exclusive LiveU Solo distribution rights in the Philippines and major alliances with Grass Valley, Harmonic, Ross Video, Blackmagic Design, Etere, Verimatrix, Kaltura, Telestream, SeaChange, and Thuraya. Its revenue derives from three streams: professional system integration services (design, implementation, support for enterprise broadcast customers), hardware/software resale of third-party broadcast solutions, and the LiveU Solo distribution plus equipment rental channel.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct, quote-based engagement targeting Philippine broadcasters — supplemented by a self-serve LiveU Solo consumer/reseller portal and a transactional Shop/Rent page. The company employs 11–50 people, leads with a culture of "malassakit" (care/compassion) for customers and partners, and positions itself as the "most trusted" premier broadcast solutions partner in the Philippines, with named enterprise customers including ABS-CBN, GMA Network, CNN Philippines, PTV, SKY Philippines, UNTV, Solar Entertainment, CBN Asia, and Net 25.
