What happens when a saxophone player decides to reinvent TV for half a million subscribers across Latin America? Meet Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Opazo, CTO of Zapping, who went from writing code as a hobby to building one of the region’s most innovative live OTT platforms. In this Voices of Video episode, Nacho shares how Zapping grew from its early days as El Telon into a multi-country service delivering 500+ live channels, why their swipe-to-watch interface was ‘TikTok before TikTok,’ and how they pushed video quality standards across Chile, Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. He also unpacks Zapping’s journey from CPU to GPU to VPU-powered encoding – cutting costs, reducing power, and scaling to meet subscriber demand. It’s a story of vision, scrappiness, and engineering grit that’s reshaping live TV in Latin America.
