BCNEXXT to showcase next-gen Vipe playout platform at IBC 2025
At IBC 2025, cloud-native broadcasting solutions provider BCNEXXT is set to debut a new version of its cutting-edge playout platform, Vipe. Designed for operational efficiency, Vipe's pre-assembly, exception-based architecture drastically reduces infrastructure demands and operator-to-channel ratios, while delivering an industry-leading 99.9999% reliability. Backed by a seasoned team, BCNEXXT is challenging long-held assumptions about playout operations. Graham Sharp, VP of Sales and Marketing at BCNEXXT, said: 'Misconceptions still persist around assembling and rendering content ahead of playout time, but the operators of over 500 channels can't be wrong! We've developed a groundbreaking architecture that leverages containerised microservices to scale resources to the complexity of the content being played out: premium event channels; no problem, late-breaking news; no problem, file-based, fast, and thematic channels – easy! Delivered on-prem or in the cloud with 6 x 9's reliability, unrivaled efficiency, and agility. It's time to take a look at the true financial and operational benefits Vipe provides.' 'Vipe's ability to dynamically deploy resources reduces waste and maximises value,' added Sharp. 'We break the traditional one server to one channel relationship, even with on-prem servers, where usage is averaged over both time and channels. This flexibility particularly benefits dynamic use cases like occasional event-based programming by significantly lowering the number of servers required.' The core innovation lies in moving playout operations ahead of airtime, eliminating the risks of last-minute rendering and allowing critical workflows like quality control to occur during standard working hours. This strategic shift enhances predictability and resilience while lowering operational stress. Vipe's exception-based approach automates routine tasks, only requiring human intervention when content falls outside defined parameters or during live broadcasts. This system breaks away from the traditional one-server-per-channel model, instead leveraging resource averaging across channels and time to reduce server usage, particularly for occasional or event-based content. BCNEXXT reports up to 75% reduction in operating costs for a 24-hour channel carrying limited live content. Alongside these operational efficiencies, BCNEXXT has a powerful new features in Vipe's latest iteration. These include AI-powered live subtitling workflows supporting multiple languages and ensuring compliance with the European Accessibility Act; real-time voice synthesis for seamless multilingual dubbing; full support for HDR using Hybrid Log-Gamma for premium visuals; and immersive Dolby Atmos audio for high-quality sound across platforms. Additional automation for ingest, metadata enrichment, scheduling, and quality control also reduces manual workloads and shortens time-to-air. For those looking to explore BCNEXXT's innovations in more depth, the company encourages downloading its updated playbook Transform Your Media Business Through Efficient Content Delivery, offering practical guidance for optimizing modern media workflows. IBC2025 will take place at the RAI Convention Centre in Amsterdam from 12–15 September. Broadcasters and media professionals interested in exploring how Vipe is shaping the future of playout are invited to schedule a one-on-one meeting.
