PlayBox Neo Expands Broadcast Services Across Asia Pacific

PlayBox Neo has announced its expansion its presence in the Asia-Pacific broadcast market with playout, automation and streaming products offered through hardware, virtualised and cloud-based systems.

The company says its modular technology and delivery models are designed to help broadcasters distribute content across multiple platforms, automate operations and integrate broadcast and IP networks. Its customers in the region include television stations and larger broadcast networks.

PlayBox Neo's products cover workflows from ingest, scheduling and graphics to playout, streaming and distribution. Customers can choose software-as-a-service (SaaS), hybrid and on-premise cloud arrangements as alternatives to conventional system purchases. The company says its SaaS offering has contributed to global growth in 2026.

Nuvex, launched in August 2026 with EMAM and SNEWS, offers a unified SaaS broadcast platform combining media asset management, newsroom production and playout. It has three bundle tiers: Runway, Ascent and Altitude.

The PlayBox Neo Suite is a multi-channel, multi-server platform supporting UHD, HD and SD formats. Intended for television networks, post-production facilities and playout centres, it provides centralised control of playout, graphics, ingest and media management. The company says the tools can also support streaming channels, regional networks and internet-based services.

Among its customers in Thailand, TC Broadcasting uses PlayBox Neo's Multi Playout Manager and Channel-in-a-Box HD servers to provide turnkey services for live television stations. In the Philippines, free-to-air broadcaster ZBNI/Zoe TV has adopted Channel-in-a-Box systems integrated with the eMAM Vault solution.

Taiwan Television has invested in the PlayBox Neo Suite to replace older equipment and expand its HD content ingest capacity. The broadcaster, Taiwan's first commercial free-to-air television network, sought a scalable multi-channel system to handle large volumes of HD material.

In Thailand, PlayBox Neo installed equipment for MIMO Tech, a subsidiary of Advanced Info Service, to expand playout for Thai League football on the AIS PLAY streaming platform. The company says the installation doubled capacity from three to six HD channels, delivered via set-top boxes, the internet and smartphones. It also supports multi-channel workflows, including 4K-UHD optimisation.

Mono Streaming, part of the Mono Next group, selected Channel-in-a-Box HD servers for English Premier League programming on its Monomax streaming service. The project involved four server upgrades and licences, configured with ingest to replace older playback and recording systems. Each server provides three channels, with support for 1080p and advertising specifications. The system also supports live input and advertising insertion, controlled manually or through SCTE triggers.

PlayBox Neo also appointed Besco as its South Korean channel reseller in 2026. The appointment adds to the company's regional sales network.

Desmon Goh, managing director of PlayBox Neo Asia-Pacific, said: "As part of our ongoing commitment to the APAC market, PlayBox Neo is proud to have a visibly strong presence, and consistently dominates product scalability, by continuing to invest in innovation that enhances broadcasters' businesses with powerful sturdy technology. PlayBox Neo's ongoing product advancements demonstrate the team's commitment in helping broadcasters maintain a competitive edge using workflows designed to maximize efficiency and provide flexibility that deliver seamless, high-performance broadcast operations. We put our customers first and our goal is to provide broadcasters across APAC and world-wide with the best technology they need to succeed and excel."
