Playbox Neo To Exhibit Upgrades To Its Range Of Smart Media Innovations

PlayBox Neo is to exhibit a vast array of significant upgrades to its range of smart media innovations at CABSAT from 13 – 15 May at stand S1-C20 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

PlayBox Neo's next generation media platform with latest technology enhancements to the dynamically evolving product line-up, will be showcased for visitors to see in action at the show.

PlayBox Neo manages the entire workflow from ingest, asset management, graphics creation, titling, subtitling, ad insertion and scheduling through to playout. PlayBox Neo solutions can easily be tailored to provide the precise capability required for any scale of channel playout management.

PlayBox Neo Suite is the latest addition to their range of smart media innovations and is an extensive suite of solutions that streamlines and enhances the workflows of media organisations such as TV channels, satellite operators, content creators, and OTTs. PlayBox Neo technology offers clear-cut centralised control, monitoring, and the efficient administration of optimised multimedia workflows. The current "Channel in a Box" product line integrates seamlessly with the PlayBox Neo Suite, therefore maximising existing investments while providing a unified interface for future upgrades.

Channel-in-a-Box is a complete turnkey broadcast television playout server solution designed for single-channel or multiple operations, providing all the essential facilities to sustain a channel on-air, combining AirBox Neo playout automation, ListBox Neo scheduling, TitleBox Neo interactive CG and graphics, Ingest content ingest and Media Gateway live delivery.

Ingest allows users to control multiple ingest channels, extended across one or multiple servers from a single web user interface. Capture suite is a multi-channel multi-server UHD/HD/SD live ingest solution that integrates into the production workflow of any television network, post-production facility or playout centre.

Media Gateway allows the reception, transmission, and conversion of a wide range of broadcast signals to simplify everyday tasks of content delivery and distribution. It allows input IP, SDI and NDI signals to be output in any combination of outputs including video up/down/cross conversion, frame rate conversion, encoding, decoding, and transcoding as required.

AirBox Neo offers automated content streaming and broadcast playout with 4K-UHD optimisation for all types of TV channels varying from cloud-based, satellite, internet-based TV, and many others.

TitleBox Neo is a fully interactive 4K UHD/HD/SD character generator, suitable for broadcast and cable TVs, info-channels for hotels, schools, corporations, retail businesses, shopping centres, airports, and more. Cloud2TV is based on the concept of virtual channel playout and is solely software centric. Its processing platform and cloud-native services represent the future of video production and content delivery, providing TV operators with ultimate simplicity, efficiency, and agility.
