PlayBox Technology Chosen For Tring TV Upgrade

PlayBox Technology's Neo and CloudAir solutions have been selected as part of an upgrade at Tring TV.

Tring TV is an Albania-based broadcaster and IPTV service provider and chose the services by PlayBox Technology to upgrade its playout infrastructure. The integrated system delivers the resources the company needs to deliver 27 television channels.

Armand Selimaj, Technical Manager, Tring TV, explained: "We have operated very successfully with PlayBox Technology channel-in-a-box servers for many years. This latest upgrade to AirBox Neo plus CloudAir allows us to deliver a full high definition service via the Albanian national digital terrestrial network as well as via satellite and IP streaming. The AirBox Neo servers are all located at our new headquarters in Tirana. Supplementing these with CloudAir creates an extremely versatile ecosystem integrating virtual playout plus the best of both worlds in terms of SDI and IP workflow. CloudAir gives an easy to use interface which we can access from any location plus 24/7 transmission continuity and highly robust programme storage."

Alban Pojani, General Manager of DV Group which represents PlayBox Technology in Albania, added: "CloudAir integrates very easily and effectively with the AirBox Neo product family. The benefits of that integration include advanced quality control and greater accessibility for content management and playlist preparation. The system is highly secure and gives Tring TV one of the world's most modern playout environments."

"The combination of AirBox Neo servers and CloudAir gives broadcasters an operationally efficient and very cost-effective way to extend both the security and the scale of their operations," commented Pavlin Rahnev, Chief Executive Officer, PlayBox Technology. "Additional channels can be added at very short notice using CloudAir without adding to the equipment load in a station's onsite technical area."
