Cloud-native playout solution for live sports and events workflows, simplifies operations and reduces overhead by as much as 60%
The Netherlands - Sept. 16, 2024 - BCNEXXT today announced that Vipe RT has won in the Best of Show awards at IBC2024 in the TVBEurope category. The awards recognize the very best media and broadcast technology products and solutions on display at IBC2024, with hundreds of products and solutions considered. All entries were reviewed by a panel of industry experts and editors at the RAI. Factors taken into account include how diverse and comprehensive the product’s features are, ease of use, third party integration capabilities, how well it solves a problem for the user and how innovative and unique it is within the market.
Vipe is a cloud-native, software solution that simplifies and speeds up the deployment of fully automated linear playout, OTT streaming and VOD playout. It reduces resource usage and, therefore, costs by up to 8x, while maintaining better than hardware-based reliability of up to 99.9999%, as measured by users. The latest release introduces Vipe RT, a dedicated real-time playout engine that supports the most complex live event and sports requirements.
The awards’ editorial team said “IBC2024 has been busier than ever this year, with over 1,300 companies showcasing their latest innovations. Our awards followed suit with this popularity and were more entered than ever before”. They continued to say “judging and winner selections were extremely difficult this year. Feedback from our judges confirmed that the standard across the board was incredible. To all those companies who have won, you can be truly proud of your achievements in standing out among the crowd at IBC2024.”
Specifically designed for sports and live events, Vipe RT is a new, separate engine that deploys real-time processing upstream from Vipe’s playout engine. As an optional upgrade, Vipe RT can be added to an existing Premium Vipe playout channel to handle live sports and events. The goal is to achieve maximum resource and personnel efficiency, cut capital expenses and provide flexibility to create (and shut down) services for broadcasters, sports and live events as needed.
"This award recognizes that Vipe RT seamlessly bridges the gap between traditional and modern broadcasting, offering all essential features for live linear playout. The solution brings streaming, FAST, and VoD together on one platform with a single point of technical and financial management," says Graham Sharp, CEO of BCNEXXT, USA. "And what's truly innovative? A containerized cloud-native architecture dynamically scales with the complexity of your content, saving resources and cutting costs."
As cloud dynamics scale resources to content’s processing needs, Vipe differentiates content’s complexity to provision and release resources for the duration of complex live events. Dynamic resource management keeps costs to an absolute minimum by increasing resources only for the duration of live content. This reduces operational costs by as much as an impressive 60% for file-based channels and potentially more for live sports and news, especially when running occasional live events.
Vipe drastically simplifies media supply chains and reduces operator-to-channel ratio. Organizations can quickly deploy new channels without upfront costs or jeopardizing on-air playout, using a convenient pay-as-you-go model. Vipe can be deployed across public and private cloud platforms as well as on-premises. Its highly optimized compute usage results in lower energy consumption, promoting more sustainable operations.
