PlayBox Neo broadcast products and cloud solutions cover everything from live playout to fully automated transmission.
PlayBox Neo has announced a significant expansion of the broadcast channel management and playout infrastructure at Nilesat‘s Cairo headquarters. This project was supported by PlayBox Neo’s distribution partner, Modern Broadcast Centre (MBC).
Speaking about the collaboration, Maissa Aly Kamel, Chief Technical Officer, Nilesat, said: “This is an addition to the 40 PlayBox Neo Channel-in-a-Box playout units we purchased in Q1 2019, elevating the total number to 70. The seamless operations and reliability of the systems continue to enhance our productivity.”
Pavlin Rahnev, Chief Executive Officer, PlayBox Neo, added: “The success of our Channel-in-a-Box solution stems from the great flexibility which it offers television channel managers and network operators, combined with its inherent space efficiency and ease of maintenance.”
