From Live, To FAST, To Linear In Seconds: BCNEXXT Transforms Playout Economics And Agility

BCNEXXT will showcase the future of playout operations at IBC2025 with a new version of cloud-native Vipe. Vipe’s unique pre-assembly, exception-based architecture greatly reduces operator-to-channel ratios and infrastructure costs while delivering 99.9999% reliability and unrivaled flexibility and agility. With its highly experienced team, BCNEXXT has changed the paradigm by introducing a new level of automation.

Increase reliability by moving playout operations before air time.
Too many broadcasters still rely on outdated, last-minute workflows that increase risk, stress, and operational costs. By shifting rendering and quality control (QC) ahead of playout time, ideally during regular office hours, Vipe’s playout operations are dramatically more resilient, efficient, and predictable.

Exception-based workflows automate routine operations without human intervention, unless something goes wrong or falls outside predefined parameters. Broadcasters can identify and resolve problems early, reserving operator involvement for true exceptions and live events. Operators only step in when the system detects a problem or anomaly that requires attention.

Combining pre-rendering with exception-based workflows enables reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient playout, on-prem, hybrid, or cloud-based. New channels can be created in minutes on a pay-as-you-go basis, heralding a new era of agility and flexibility that sets you apart from competitors.

Meanwhile, a unique approach to live programming ensures the absolute minimum resources are used, lowering operating costs by up to 75% for a 24-hour channel carrying three hours of live content.

Powerful New Features
At IBC2025, BCNEXXT will showcase powerful new capabilities for its transformative playout platform, including:

  • Live subtitling workflow: Seamless, AI-powered live subtitling enables fast, accurate captioning across multiple languages. This is ideal for news, sports, and global events and compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA).
  • Real-time voiceover: Integrated voice synthesis and multilingual dubbing for live broadcasts eliminate delays in localization and enhance accessibility.
  • HDR (HLG version): Full support for Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) delivers stunning high-dynamic-range visuals optimized for both SDR and HDR displays—crucial for premium live content.
  • Dolby Atmos: Immersive audio support for Dolby Atmos enables cinematic-quality soundscapes for live and linear content across OTT and broadcast platforms.
  • Additional automated functionality: Expanded automation across ingest, quality control, metadata enrichment, and scheduling reduces manual tasks and accelerates time to air.
