CABSAT will host the EAME market launch of TS Time Delay which gives broadcast channel managers control over programme playout to multiple time zones.
PlayBox Neo has elevated broadcast channel management with the latest additions to its wide range of products and services. A fully-featured system including new software-based routing capabilities with an expanded choice of optional modules will be demonstrated at CABSAT 2023.
PlayBox Neo staff attending will include Pavlin Rahnev (founder and CEO), Detelin Georgiev (Area Sales Manager) and Plamen Chardakliev (Broadcast Engineer).
Speaking about the products, Pavlin Rahnev, PlayBox Neo CEO, said: “EAME region broadcasters, like their colleagues throughout the world, demand reliability, easy and flexibility operation plus future-proof expandability as essential features of their television channel management systems. Modularity has been a key element in our product development strategy for 23 years. PlayBox Neo systems can be configured to match any kind of TV media application from a single terrestrial, satellite or internet-streamed channel up to fully international networks transmitting in multiple languages. Workflow can be fully automated to support round-the-clock programmes while retaining the ability to transmit live content whenever necessary. Scheduling, whether region specific or global, is a breeze. Many broadcasters favour an owner-driver hardware approach centred on our PlayBox Neo server with their choice of software features. Others prefer a service-based solution such as our Cloud2TV. A third option is a hybrid approach with any desired level of mix-and-match. We support them all.”
CABSAT will host the EAME market launch of TS Time Delay which gives broadcast channel managers control over programme playout to multiple time zones. TS Time Delay can be operated in hands-off mode or switched at any time to alternative offsets, including a zero delay output for each input. Features include built-in decoders and encoders plus the ability to transcode output stream parameters such as data format, video resolution and frame rate. Channel-specific playout can be delayed from 1 second to several months. Multiple channels may be controlled within a single AirBox Neo-20 server.
Media Gateway allows the entire process of playout routing and decoding to be handled in software, eliminating the capital cost of hardware routers, codecs and related devices. Media Gateway can be installed onsite or in the cloud. Integral software codecs allow signals to be converted between SDI, NDI, SRT, UDP and RTP. Video and audio content can be sourced directly from a desktop screen and delivered as live feeds. A built-in multiviewer includes automated black-frame and frozen-frame alarms.
