Setplex’s Zapflex Video Platform Improves Subscriber Retention, Streaming Quality, and Monetization for Operators
WHITE PLAINS, New York — July 22, 2026 — Setplex today announced that it will showcase new AI-powered capabilities embedded throughout its Zapflex video platform at IBC2026. At stand 5.C82, Setplex will demonstrate how video service providers, operators, broadcasters, and sports rights holders can enhance subscriber retention, ensure high-quality video delivery, and unlock new monetization opportunities.
“The streaming market has become significantly more competitive,” said Lionel Dreshaj, co-founder and CEO of Setplex. “Operators need to help subscribers discover content more easily, deliver consistently reliable viewing experiences, and build sustainable monetization strategies. At IBC2026, we’ll showcase how AI is embedded throughout the Zapflex video platform to support each of these priorities.”
Bringing Speed, Simplicity, and Scale to Video Streaming Deployments
Zapflex provides operators with everything they need to launch, run, and grow an online video service. It supports every aspect of the streaming workflow, from preparing live channels and on-demand libraries to secure delivery, efficient content and monetization management, presentation through preconfigured applications, and comprehensive usage and performance analytics. Operators can deploy it as a complete solution or only integrate the components they need into an existing environment.
AI is embedded throughout the entire Zapflex video platform — from personalized content discovery and super aggregation to intelligent content delivery and AI-driven advertising workflows. Already deployed in the real world, these capabilities allow operators to address the industry’s biggest business challenges.
AI-Powered Discovery That Keeps Subscribers Engaged
As streaming libraries continue to expand, making relevant content easy to discover has become one of the industry’s most important retention tools. Setplex’s Zapflex video platform combines AI-powered recommendations, personalization, and semantic search, which goes beyond keyword matching to understand viewer context and intent. The result is more relevant discovery across movies, television programs, and live content, helping operators increase engagement and keep viewers watching.
In addition, Zapflex features advanced super aggregation capabilities that bring together operator content libraries and third-party streaming services within a unified viewing experience. Subscribers can discover content across multiple platforms from a single interface, while operators retain control over how content is presented, promoted, and curated within their own branded experience. The result is a smooth subscriber journey that increases viewer engagement while reinforcing the operator’s role at the center of the entertainment ecosystem.
Intelligent Delivery for Reliable Streaming
Consumers have little tolerance for buffering, outages, or inconsistent streaming quality. To help operators maintain premium viewing experiences, the Zapflex video platform incorporates intelligent delivery technologies including multi-CDN orchestration, content steering, edge caching, and real-time QoE monitoring. These capabilities continuously optimize content delivery, enabling operators to improve service availability, reduce interruptions, and deliver a more consistent streaming experience — even during peak demand.
AI-Driven Monetization Across Hybrid Business Models
With subscription growth slowing across many markets, operators are increasingly turning to hybrid monetization strategies that combine subscription, advertising, transactional, and free ad-supported streaming models. The Zapflex video platform supports flexible business models including SVOD, AVOD, FAST, and TVOD, leveraging AI to streamline advertising workflows. Zapflex’s AI-powered ad-break detection technology automatically identifies natural insertion opportunities across both live and on-demand programming, enabling scalable localized advertising without manual intervention. The innovative technology has already been proven in production through UVOtv’s North American streaming service.
Setplex will demonstrate the Zapflex video platform with its latest AI-powered innovations at IBC2026 in Amsterdam, Sept. 11-14, at stand 5.C82. More information about Setplex and the company’s solutions is available at www.setplex.com.
