The media and entertainment industry runs on compute. Transcoding, live channel packaging, adaptive bitrate delivery, OTT distribution: each of these workflows demands consistent, high-throughput hardware. The infrastructure underneath them determines whether production pipelines scale cleanly or accumulate cost and complexity over time.
In May 2026, 1Legion announced a partnership with StreamVX, a software-defined video platform with over 25 years of experience serving broadcasters, OTT operators, and media companies across Europe and beyond.
Why this partnership
StreamVX builds the software layer that powers video operations: ingest, transcoding, packaging, distribution. Their platform runs workloads that are GPU-intensive, bandwidth-heavy, and latency-sensitive. That profile maps directly to what 1Legion was built to support.
1Legion provides dedicated bare metal GPU infrastructure with transparent pricing: no egress fees, no shared-resource bottlenecks, no billing surprises. For media operators scaling live channels or managing large OTT content libraries, that combination matters.
The hardware behind it
StreamVX workloads on 1Legion infrastructure ran on RTX 4000 Ada and A4000 GPU servers, reliable, professional-grade hardware well suited to the sustained throughput demands of broadcast and OTT pipelines.
The RTX 4000 Ada delivers Ada Lovelace architecture with 20GB of GDDR6 memory and hardware-accelerated encoding and decoding, making it a practical choice for transcoding pipelines that require consistent performance across multiple concurrent streams. The A4000 offers 16GB of GDDR6 with strong compute throughput for packaging and delivery workflows where stability and cost efficiency are the primary requirements.
Both are rented as whole 4-GPU servers on 36, 48 or 60 month terms, at one fixed monthly rate with no hidden transfer costs.
What this means for media operators
Broadcasters and OTT platforms evaluating infrastructure often face the same trade-off: hyperscaler convenience at unpredictable cost, or on-premise control at high capital expenditure. This partnership offered a third path: dedicated bare metal performance with the operational simplicity of a managed infrastructure partner, at a predictable cost.
"StreamVX brings deep expertise in software-defined video workflows, exactly the kind of workload our infrastructure was built for," said David Vargas, CEO of 1Legion. "Together, we can give broadcasters and OTT operators a stack that performs end-to-end, without the cost unpredictability that comes with hyperscalers."
For media companies looking to scale production infrastructure without scaling their cloud bill, this partnership provided a concrete, deployable path forward.
