Thriving Amid Market Consolidation—Dispelling Myths About Cloud Playout for Broadcasters

The broadcasting industry’s first foray into the cloud was met with disappointment. Early “lift and shift” deployments, which simply transferred existing systems to the cloud without adaptation, fell short of expectations. Costs soared, reliability suffered, and doubts about the cloud’s potential began to grow.

Exception-Based Workflows: Playout Peace of Mind Starts Long Before On-Air Time

For many broadcasters and streaming operators, playout is still a live affair – the content is assembled and rendered in real time as it goes on air.It’s a legacy workflow that introduces risk, stress, and inefficiency. Under pressure, operators are forced to troubleshoot issues in real-time, leading to mistakes, on-air errors, and unnecessary downtime.

BCNEXXT Showcases Vipe RT and Native Adobe After Effects Integration at IBC

Beyond streamlining playout, simplifying operations, and significantly reducing overhead, Vipe delivers rich on-air graphics as envisioned in the design studioThe Netherlands - September 11, 2024 - At the upcoming IBC Show, BCNEXXT will showcase the latest version of Vipe, introducing for the first time Vipe RT, a dedicated, real-time playout engine that supports the most complex live event and sports scenarios. IBC attendees can experience Vipe’s native Adobe® After Effects® integration at the BCNEXXT exhibit in Hall 3, Stand 3.B23.Already deployed in hundreds of entertainment channels around the world, Vipe delivers major savings to organizations of all sizes by consolidating silos, streamlining resource usage, and increasing their automation and reliability levels.Vipe also enables differentiating on-air graphics, preserving the rich designs envisioned by the artists through its native Adobe® After Effects® integration. Typical playout workflows flatten rich 3D graphics into a single .MOV file, which is then keyed over the content. As a result, the graphic loses much of its dynamics. With native After Effects integration, Vipe’s rendering engine takes all design elements, including the timing markers, and renders them in 3D exactly as the designer envisioned.“Having native graphics integration as part of a playout solution enables a workflow that supports stylish, dynamic graphics to better differentiate a channel,” states Graham Sharp, CEO of BCNEXXT, USA. “In today's multi-channel world not only are we trying to make our users more efficient, but also enable them to creatively differentiate their channels, all with 99.9999% uptime.”Vipe can be deployed across public and private clouds, on premises as well as hybrid. With its highly optimized compute usage, Vipe ensures lower-energy consumption leading to more sustainable operations and significantly reduced costs whilst delivering unmatched reliability. To learn more about the Vipe playout workflow, please visit: https://www.bcnexxt.com/approach.Learn about Adobe After Effects and give it a try by updating the app today.

How Rethinking Playout Can Redefine Your Media Supply Chain

How Rethinking Playout Can Redefine Your Media Supply ChainThe Media Supply chain is a hot topic, but why?We as an industry have created huge supply chain complexity by taking a siloed approach to distribution. We have different departments, staff, technology and systems for Linear, FAST, VOD and Streaming Channels resulting in the supply chain having to deliver multiple versions of content to each endpoint.So why are we so focused on the Supply Chain? We are putting the cart before the horse and spending millions solving a problem that we could solve in a much simpler way.Why not consolidate playout first, then the supply chain only has to deliver a master version of the content, to a single end point?VIPE from BCNEXXT is a single platform that creates all of your distribution requirements in their transport stream formats from a single master content source. It does this without ingesting, on the fly, then stitches the events together into linear streams or delivers them to VOD origin servers based on your schedules and manifests.Liberate your playout and simplify your supply chain.

Achieving maximum quality of service

Everyone knows the adage, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This rings particularly true in broadcast playout, where on-air errors can be hugely disruptive and costly to the broadcaster.Traditional systems assemble video, audio, and graphics components in real-time, even when schedules are pre-set. Any glitch during this live assembly can lead to on-air errors, requiring constant vigilance from Master Control Room (MCR) operators, who need to be on standby 24/7.By pre-assembling and QC checking as much content as possible ahead of on-air time, far superior Quality of Service (QoS) can be achieved effectively reducing operational expenses and the need for around-the-clock monitoring. This pre-assembly approach can be used for all distribution requirements, enabling the consolidation of Video on Demand (VOD), Over-the-Top (OTT), and Linear playout operations, dramatically reducing operating costs further.
