Case Study: Disney ABC TV Group achieves low-latency, broadcast-quality backhaul for 200+ affiliates with LTN Global

Disney ABC Television Group - Customer Case Study

When the Disney ABC TV Group needed to aggregate and backhaul broadcast‑quality, low‑latency mezzanine feeds from over 200 local ABC affiliates into centralized processing points and meet‑me rooms for OTT platforms, they turned to LTN Global. DATG’s challenge was to deliver consistent, high‑throughput contribution feeds across stations with varying bandwidths, ISPs and audio configurations; LTN Global deployed its LTN LEAF encoder and managed IP transport service to meet those needs.

LTN Global’s solution—combining the LTN LEAF encoder with a fully managed, high‑performance MPEG transport multicast network and 24/7 operations—delivers each station at about 20 Mbps with under 300 ms end‑to‑end latency. The deployment has activated over 170 stations on LTN Global’s lossless network, enabling centralized processing, program replacement and reliable handoffs to OTT platforms such as Hulu, while meeting DATG’s quality and operational milestones.
