PlayBox Neo Reports Buoyant and
Successful BroadcastAsia2019
P

layBox Neo has reported a well
attended and upbeat Broadcast
Asia2019 exhibition and conference,
held at the Suntec Convention Centre
in Singapore in June. Running parallel
with ConnectTech Asia, the combined
events attracted representatives from
the broadcast and telco markets within
the core APAC region and wider.
"Broadcast Asia is essentially an
action replay of the April NAB Show in
Las Vegas, which is good in reducing
unnecessary travel," said PlayBox
Neo CEO Pavlin Rahnev. "The APAC
region itself is continuing to develop
strongly in terms of investment in both
broadcast and telco infrastructures.
We exhibited the latest versions of our
established Channel-in-a-Box modular
channel branding and playout product
range and debuted the latest version
of our software-as-a-service based
offering: Cloud2TV. These two product
ranges give PlayBox Neo customers
the freedom to invest in their own fully

independent on-site systems,
which many channel managers
still like to do, or operate at
any desired level on their own
choice of hardware platform in
whatever location they prefer."
"We demonstrated our two
product ranges as independent
solutions and as a versatile
hybrid which can be scaled
easily to allow fast start-up
of
long-term
programme
channels as well as eventspecific red-button channels,"
added PlayBox Neo APAC General
Manager Desmon Goh. "The hybrid
approach is also ideal for storing
production assets, allowing these to
be remotely accessed quickly and
easily by authorised staff via a secure
IP connection. We also promoted the
effectiveness of using Cloud2TV as
the core of a highly efficient offsite
recovery facility."
PlayBox Neo, building on nearly

20 years of successful innovation,
pioneered the development of
high-efficiency
server-based
and
cloud-based playout to support
every scale and type of one-to-many
communication. PlayBox Neo AirBox
and Cloud2TV today power over 18,500
TV and branding channels in more than
120 countries. Users include national
and
international
broadcasters,
start-up TV channels, webcasters,

interactive TV and music channels,

corporate information channels and
disaster recovery channels.
Based in Sofia (PlayBox Neo
Commercial HQ), PlayBox Neo has

Pacific), New Delhi (PlayBoxNeo India),
and West Palm Beach (PlayBox Neo

lent in opera, music, dance and
ballet, theatre and Chinese traditional
opera, but as important are the
international festivals and the visiting
performers.
A centre of this importance needs
to have superlative facilities in every
area and recording and broadcast are
no exception. In company with the vast
majority of world-renowned concert
halls and opera houses, the NCPA
has installed a Merging Technologies
solution.
Pyramix and its DSD workflow is
essential for recording and archiving
unique performances, but the NCPA
has determined that having the ability
to record and post-produce in 5.1 is
also vitally important.
This further emphasises the wisdom
of choosing a Merging solution
which is ideally suited to any of the
more immersive workflows that are
becoming ever more popular. In
addition to Pyramix 11 MassCore, the
installation features two Merging Horus

networked audio converters. One of
these is equipped with 48 channels
of Mic/Line inputs using the AKD8DP
premium A/D converters and the other
has 48 channels of D/A using the DA8P
card.
Dreamula, Merging's local reseller
and integrator, also supplied their
custom connector panels to ensure
that the installation is clean, efficient
and reliable. The main audio console
in this part of the complex is a Solid
State Logic Duality with 48 analogue
channels. There are a variety of
monitoring solutions and a good
selection of outboard gear for analogue
processing.
The NCPA building is truly spectacular
and in a beautiful setting, but the real
jewels are the exceptional spaces
inside for performance, rehearsal, and
recreation.
Weishen Xu, President of Merging
Asia said: "It is a real honour to
be contributing to the success of
this iconic building. Merging has

established a great reputation in China
and we are proud to be involved with
many of the top cultural, broadcast
and recording facilities throughout the
country."
Merging Technologies' President,
Claude Cellier added: "It gives us
enormous satisfaction to be part of
so many of these extraordinary arts
centres. Our success is easier to fathom
in Europe where we are located, but
to be participating to this extent
throughout Asia is really something
special."
