PlayBox a one-stop shop for streaming/broadcast playout

In order to provide more options for content delivery, PlayBox Technology has added a list of new products to its integrated playout system.

The AirBox Connect, for instance, is a software-defined streaming solution designed to address interest in streaming and live content, and can be used in-house or in the cloud. For those who prefer to outsource content delivery, AirBox Connect+ is a full-managed service for live streaming, including asset management, advertising integration and CDN integration, as well as live streaming software.

To meet the needs of those who stream from remote locations, PlayBox has also developed the AirBox Mini, which is built on the NUC/Mini PC platform. When performance is critical, the Eurisko hardware encoder provides very low latency outputs in SDI (Serial Digital Interface), H.264/5, SRT (Secure Reliable Transport in video streaming) and NDI (Network Device Interface).

To complete the content delivery technology, PlayBox has also added two vital management layers. Besides tracking content, the media asset management solution also gives simple access to workflow design and implementation tools, ensuring the automated playout and streaming is accurate, consistent and intuitive.

Philip Neighbour, COO at PlayBox Technology, said, “What we are saying with these new products, alongside our proven and popular systems, is that PlayBox is the one-stop shop for streaming and broadcast playout.

“We can now provide everything you need – apart from the programmes – whether you choose to host the hardware, run it in the cloud, or let us provide a complete managed service.”
