                                <p><strong>HATFIELD, U.K.</strong>—New research from PlayBox Technology UK suggests that many media companies and creators are lagging in the creation of OTT platforms for their content but that there is rapidly growing interest in establishing one to better monetize their content. </p><p>The PlayBox survey of content owners and creators from broadcasters to YouTubers and vloggers found that 83% of respondents said that they did not currently operate an OTT platform for their content. </p><p>But 63% expressed significant interest in establishing one. Primary drivers for this interest were to retain control of their own content, to capture audience data, and most important to open up new monetization avenues, Playbox reported. </p><p>“What is clear from this small but significant study is that there is a real desire to provide a channel for content direct to the audience,” said Philip Neighbour, COO at PlayBox Technology. “Naturally, these people want to receive a fair reward for their work, with roughly the same number of respondents seeing subscriptions (33%) and advertising (30%) as the primary source of income.”</p><p>“This very much underlines the way that PlayBox has been developing in recent times,” Neighbour continued. “We have taken our traditional broadcast channel management and playout technology and extended it to provide all the functionality you need to build and operate an online presence, through cloud-hosted services like OTT Stream. Users can use the functionality they need, add third-party facilities like Google AdSense if that is the right path for them, and pay for just what they need on a software-as-a-service basis.”</p><p>The full report is available <a href="https://playboxtechnology.com/position-papers-statements/"><u>here</u></a>. </p>

                                <p><strong>LONDON</strong>—The channel in a box provider PlayBox Technology UK has launched a new version of its market-leading AirBox playout and streaming software. </p><p>AirBox Mega ICX delivers playout capabilities in a feature-rich automation package and a simple user interface, the company said.</p><p>“This is a brand new integrated playout engine built from the ground up, but when we designed it we drew on all our 17 years’ experience at the top of the playout software market,” said Philip Neighbour, COO at PlayBox Technology UK. “We talk to broadcasters and streamers all around the world, and we have brought their thoughts and ideas to this design.”</p><p>As a result, he added, “it does exactly what is needed, without complications or risks." The software also has a “distributive, virtualized architecture” that allows the “systems can be tailored to specific needs quickly and easily," he said. </p><p>The AirBox software provides automated content playout for broadcasters, online streaming services, cable headends and corporate users. </p><p>The new version is developed as a virtualized software application which can be run on dedicated hardware as a channel in a box, or in the public or private cloud, with an identical operational experience, the company said. It is also ideal for remote operation over any secure internet connection.</p><p>In addition, web-based APIs allow ready interconnection with a wide range of third-party equipment such as server networks. </p><p>The browser-based user interface is also simple and intuitive for day-to-day operations. Through an API the AirBox Mega ICX can run as a fully automated playout channel. Playlist interface formats include JSON and .ply.</p><p>AirBox Mega ICX incorporates graphics capabilities for channel branding and other needs. Templates can be designed in an HTML5 environment.</p><p>As well as providing outputs for broadcast, AirBox Mega ICX is ideally suited to the needs of content streaming organisations, including business and community groups as well as network media organisations. It supports native, secure and low-latency streaming via SRT and webRTC.</p><p>Users can download demonstrations and free trial software on the PlayBox Technology website: <a href="https://playboxtechnology.com/product-category/trials/" target="_blank"><u>Trials | PlayBox Technology</u></a></p>

                                <p><strong>NEW YORK—</strong>PlayBox Technology will head to the Big Apple for this year’s NAB Show New York with the latest additions of its range of broadcast playout and channel branding products. Among the platforms expected to be shown are broadcast playout systems that comprise PlayBox’s server-based Neo and cloud-based CloudAir, as well as hybrid configurations.</p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="JwvGK4DG3bLyuK6U7E6BHN" name="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/JwvGK4DG3bLyuK6U7E6BHN.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/JwvGK4DG3bLyuK6U7E6BHN.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><p>PlayBox describe the CloudAir system as “a fully inclusive system for managing playout via IP over the public cloud.” Among the new features for the CloudAir are a transcoder capable of handling multiple file wrappers and formats including MPEG PS/TS, MXF, QT, AVI, MP4, GXF, MPG2, H.264, ProRes, DNX HD and MJPEG; there are also enhanced graphics editor template preparation interface, improved playlist editing, advanced playlist export to EPGs and automated linking of stored assets.</p><p>The new Neo TS Time Delay platform will also be shown. The system is a 1U IP-based delay server for single or multichannel time zone shift and disaster-recovery applications. The unit’s typical configuration includes zero-delay pass-through for a broadcaster’s home region time zone plus any desired delay for a unicast MPEG transport stream. It can also be set up to simultaneously process a multicast MPEG transport stream with its own playout time settings. A third channel is available to carry auxiliary data. Neo TS Time Delay can operate as a single-unit or be twinned for use in main and backup modes.</p><p>Additional workflows for other Neo series modules will be on display, including the integration of ProductionAirBox Neo with the AP’s ENPS news production system. SocialMediaBox Neo will also be shown.</p><p>PlayBox Technology will be located at booth N716.</p>

                                <p><strong>LONDON–</strong>PlayBox Technology announces a major new addition to its modular Neo broadcast playout system. Scheduled for launch at IBC2017 in September, Neo TS Time Delay is a 1U IP-based delay server for single or multichannel time zone shift and disaster-recovery applications. It provides fully transparent delay of IP transport streams such as DVB/ATSC MPEG broadcast-quality compressed video and audio.<br/><br/>"Physically compact and easy to install, Neo TS Time Delay is ideal for use in countries or federations with multiple time zones," says PlayBox Technology President Don Ash. "It also has applications in DR centres where it provides operators with a very wide range of timing options. Neo TS Time Delay integrates fully with the AirBox Neo product family with control assignable to a single administrator or specified operators."<br/><br/></p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="2JnwHN2HhuhRf5kvQS9Unk" name="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2JnwHN2HhuhRf5kvQS9Unk.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2JnwHN2HhuhRf5kvQS9Unk.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><p>Designed for fully automated operation, Neo TS Time Delay can be configured with multiple input channels and multiple delayed outputs. Each input also has one zero-delay output. All operating parameters are easily adjusted via an integral web-based user interface, including channel-specific time delay in 15 second increments. Maximum delay duration depends on input bit rate and storage capacity. Additional features include programme information display of MPEG-compliant transport streams plus automatic error logging.<br/><br/>Neo TS Time Delay incorporates UDP/RTP input/output, allowing unicast or multicast via standard Gigabit Ethernet ports. A typical Neo TS Time Delay workflow would include zero-delay pass-through for a broadcaster's home-region timezone plus one hour or one week delay for a unicast MPEG programme stream. The same unit can simultaneously process a multicast MPEG stream with its own playout time settings (zero plus one and two hours for example). A third channel is then available to carry auxiliary data such as UDP.<br/><br/>Like all elements of the PlayBox Technology Neo product series, Neo TS Time Delay can be configured for single-unit operation or twinned for use in main and backup modes.<br/><br/>Neo TS Time Delay will be demonstrated at IBC 2017 as part of a complete channel branding, scheduling and playout system centred on the AirBox Neo platform.</p>

PlayBox also added an enhanced template preparation interface for graphics editing, improved playlist editing, advanced playlist export to EPGs and automated linking of stored assets.<br/></p><p>Neo products now have extended control features, an informative, intuitive graphic interface, expanded file handling, expanded I/O connectivity and Microsoft Windows 10.</p><p>The AirBox Neo version supports UHD, HD and SD playout from a single server. Designed for 24/7 unattended operations, it can also be operated manually, including live-to-air throughput. New additions include streaming input compatibility with HTTP(S), UDP, RTMP, MMS(H) and YouTube, plus streaming output support for UDP, RTSP and ATSC.<br/></p><p>Both systems manage live, automated or hybrid workflows, and scale to multi-channel networks transmitted via terrestrial, satellite, or cable systems, as well as cloud streaming. The playout servers now have an IP output, which offers substantial savings over dedicated fibre-optic telco lines for studio to transmitter links. Management and monitoring of entire channels can be performed via a secure IP link from a desktop computer.</p><p>The 2017 NAB Show takes place in Las Vegas, April 24-27.

The AirBox Neo, TitleBox Neo, Capture Box Neo and SafeBox Neo will all include UHD compatibility, a high-efficiency user interface, and new feature enhancements .</p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="QKpvhnZKzhBggWgGoZBqST" name="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/QKpvhnZKzhBggWgGoZBqST.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/QKpvhnZKzhBggWgGoZBqST.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><p>The AirBox Neo playout server now supports UHD, HD and SD in a single server. Among its new features include a streaming input that supports HTTP, HTTP Secure, UDP, RTMP, MMS, MMSH and YouTube. There are also improvements to RTMP streaming output to allow for web streaming. It also comes with a virtual output, third-party product support for Ross NK series routers and the Horita TR-100 timecode reader, multiple DeckLink cards for multichannel ad insertion, and enhancements have been made to the clip trimmer and audio level control.</p><p>The new TitleBox Neo on-air graphics and character generator—in addition to adding support for UHD projects—has added an API plug-in for interfacing with third-party software devices. The ability to handle ODBC data providers and RSS feeds has also been increased.</p><p>PlayBox’s CaptureBox Neo multichannel ingest server allows HD or SD content to be captured from up to four video sources simultaneously. All four can be monitored on a single screen and controlled through a streamlined user interface with enhanced multichannel control and operability. It can also monitor audio levels and makes ingested content available for playback seconds after ingest begins. Capture lists are also able to be imported from third-party traffic systems.</p><p>Then there is the SafeBox Neo content and playlist replicator, which replicates remote content to local playout server folders for safe transmission. The SafeBox Neo comes with a new graphic interface as well as faster processing for moving primary or copied content to the playout and central storage servers. File management has also received an upgrade, with the ability to automatically and manually delete files, or assign protection to prevent removal.</p><p>PlayBox Technology is a provider of broadcast television playout and channel branding.</p>

                                <p><strong>BANGKOK—</strong>As part of an upgrade to its studios in Bangkok, Golf Channel Thailand has added channel branding and playout systems from PlayBox Technology. Among the products installed into the studio were PlayBox’s AirBox transmission servers and TitleBox channel branding.</p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="nkca4kZaQMeC6fQMcfkUoH" name="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/nkca4kZaQMeC6fQMcfkUoH.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/nkca4kZaQMeC6fQMcfkUoH.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><p><em>AirBox</em></p><p>The AirBox is a content playout and streaming system that can operate in both SD and HD. Designed for 24/7 unattended operation, the system can be connected to third-party devices. The system supports MPEG1/2/H.264, HDV and DV streams from most production platforms capable of providing AVI, MPEG, MXF, QuickTime or WMV content. Files from third-party broadcast content servers are natively supported.</p><p>Titlebox can deliver on-air graphics that can be controlled interactively. Templates can be configured to match specific requirements, without need for subsequent manual adjustment. It also provides total control during on-air session, including text selection, running speed and transitions. Features include horizontal crawling text, vertically rolling credits and messages, still and animated logo graphics, analog and digital clocks, banner slideshows and chat text with automated horizontal and vertical scrolling. Additional features include pre-constructed graphic components, video resizing, window-style display and website content ingest.</p><p>“We have integrated AirBox HD and SD servers into Golf Channel Thailand’s central apparatus suite,” said Nut Deesamer, manager of PlayBox service and support center in Thailand. “These are linked via Ethernet with the master control room where the automation process is supervised. Each TitleBox is operated as an independent key and fill resource during live program production… The configuration we have provided enables Golf Channel to capture incoming content at the same time as playing to air.”</p><p>PlayBox is an international communications and information-technology company based in London.</p>
