Everyone’s Talking About AI. But What They Really Need is IA.

From NAB to IBC, there is one topic that has dominated the media technology conversation this year: Artificial Intelligence. AI is being attached to products and demonstrations across the industry, with vendors promising new ways to generate, analyze, automate and optimize almost every part of the media workflow.And yes, there is a lot to be excited about. But amid the AI frenzy, we have lost a bit of focus on what's really important. And that's the problem we are trying to solve.When it comes to playout, we're asking the wrong question. Instead of asking how we can put more Artificial Intelligence into playout, we should be asking how we can make playout itself more intelligent.For BCNEXXT, that means IA: Intelligent Automation.

How breaking the traditional 1 to 1 channel to server relationship can save at least 60% of your playout operating costs!

Traditional broadcast playout is handled by monolithic servers with enough compute power to assemble content elements in real-time, at the point of playback. It’s provisioned for the most complex content. It's always on, even when it is only playing back a movie file.

Containerization vs. Virtualization: What's the Difference?

As media organizations modernize infrastructure and adopt cloud-native technologies, two terms are frequently used: virtualization and containerization. While both improve how applications are deployed and managed, they solve different problems and have distinct architectural approaches.

Broadcast Is No Longer Special… and That’s Reshaping the Industry

The Broadcast Industry is losing its ‘specialness’, if there is such a word. Historically, we lived in a bubble, with products specifically built not only for an industry but even for specific customers. There were 1,600 TV stations and 100 cable channels in the US alone, all making their own decision on what technology to buy, so if you didn’t sell to one station, you got another. The industry was growing, and there was plenty of business to go around, but that has changed!

Key Conversations for NAB 2026

NAB this year isn’t about incremental change. Broadcasters and content owners are navigating real pressure, from shifting economics, potential infrastructure disruption, and rising audience expectations. The conversations have moved from what’s next to what now. Three key areas that we will be meeting customers and potential customers on cover: how they leverage playout to maximize monetization, the opportunity around a potential C-band clawback, and best approach for managing HDR.

The Potential C-Band Spectrum Clawback: What It Could Mean for Broadcast Distribution

America’s growing demand for mobile wireless services may soon disrupt another part of the broadcast ecosystem under pressure.The FCC has opened a Notice of Inquiry (GN Docket 25-59) into the upper C-band spectrum (3.98–4.2 GHz), inviting feedback on options for more intensive use of frequencies that are currently used extensively for radio and television distribution. This inquiry follows the FCC’s 2020 decision to repurpose the lower C-band from satellite broadcast contribution use to mobile flexible wireless services.

From Rigid Rules to Adaptive Systems – Liberate Your Playout

Playout has long been weighed down by fixed, overprovisioned infrastructure designed to handle peak demands based on rules often set years ago. This model was built for reliability, but it locks broadcasters into paying for resources they rarely use. Large amounts of compute power, storage, and bandwidth sit idle for much of the day, creating operational inefficiency and inflating costs. Today, there is a smarter path forward. Static infrastructure can now be replaced with flexible, intelligent systems capable of scaling up in real time.

OKAST Builds a Monetization-First Platform on Vipe

For much of broadcast and early OTT history, playout was treated as a fixed technical function. It was something you deployed once, optimized for peak capacity, and rarely revisited. That model no longer reflects how streaming (or any other content distribution) businesses operate today.As FAST and ad-supported streaming mature, playout has moved from the background into the center of strategic decision-making. According to Cédric Monnier, CEO of OKAST, this shift is being driven by economics and the ability to compete on audience experience.“At OKAST, everything starts with monetization,” Monnier explains. “FAST, AVOD, SVOD, these are business models. Our role is to help content owners generate revenue across them. Infrastructure has to support that goal.”

Reducing overheads is inevitable. Reducing quality is not.

IBC2025 was a reality check. Every corridor conversation at the show was the same: fewer people, same deliverables. The brutal reality facing broadcast operations isn't going away: budgets are shrinking while content demands continue to climb. The question isn't whether cuts are coming; it's whether your organization will emerge stronger or struggle to maintain quality output.
