PlayBox Neo, the global leader in media playout automation, reports a highly successful Broadcast Asia 2023 with strong interest in the company’s wide range of TV channel management solutions.

“Our focus on Smart Media Solutions reflects our ability to support every stage of the content preparation and playout workflow,” says PlayBox Neo founder and CEO Pavlin Rahnev. “We offer a fully co-ordinated system embracing ingest, content preparation, multichannel scheduling and presentation right through to terrestrial, satellite or online delivery, plus the security of a globally proven system supporting over 19,500 TV and branding channels around the world. Our modular approach gives customers the freedom to request or specify a system configured to match their present business requirements while retaining the ability to add extra resources whenever needed in the future. Operationally our systems are a breeze, allowing as much as possible to be achieved via a co-ordinated user interface running on a single workstation. That conserves desktop space as well as reducing or eliminating the distraction of switching between multiple screens. And our post-sale support service is exemplary.”    

“We experienced a high level of visitor traffic to our stand on all three days of the show, indicating that Broadcast Asia is well on the way to recovering from the coronavirus years,” adds Desmon Goh, Managing Director of PlayBox Neo APAC. “The APAC media market continues to be strong in demand for on-site systems and cloud-connected services as well as hybrids of the two. The parallel Satellite Asia event also helped to attract representatives from the region’s telco companies. Many of these are established PlayBox Neo partners looking to discuss their forward plans.”

A recent addition to the PlayBox Neo product family making its first APAC exhibition appearance, Media Gateway (https://playboxneo.com/media-gateway) allows routing and transcoding to be performed entirely in software, offering significant savings in terms of cost, space and maintenance as well as being fast and easy to operate. Media Gateway was recognized by US-based TV Technology with a Best of Show award at the April 2023 NAB convention in Vegas.

Also making its APAC market debut was the latest version of PlayBox Neo’s industry-proven TS Time Delay (https://playboxneo.com/time-delay) which provides greater than ever control over program playout to TV audiences in multiple time zones. Latest refinements include an expanded adjustment range, now adjustable from 1 second up to several months.
