TAKING ON THE WORLD Big Blue Marble BY ANNE MORRIS
Austria-based ORS Group and Insys Video Technologies are exhibiting for the fi rst time under their joint international Big Blue Marble brand as they present their shared mission to “create a smarter, connected, secure future for content distribution”. ORS acquired a 70% stake in Polish streaming technology provider Insys in 2023 following a long-standing partnership. The two companies are now operating under the Big Blue Marble brand that was unveiled in June this year. The newly formed grouping is led by ORS CEO Michael Wagenhofer and Krzysztof
Bartkowski, CEO of Insys. According to Wagenhofer: “We wanted to signal to our existing customers that we are a great partner for the future, not only being their backbone when it comes to distribution of linear TV, but also we are a partner to help them to transit into this all-IP future.”
Bartkowski noted that a key aim will be to expand the group’s business at international level. “At this point, the majority of our customers are located in Europe and the Middle East. But we already have footholds on other continents, and customers there. Now, with the joint brand, we want to expand on those and really make good use of the brand globally,” he said.

“Everything is under NMOS control, which provides a control and management layer for devices on ST 2110 networks. It makes it plug and play as NMOS automatically recognises it,” added Tang. The card is integrated into the display to save space and power, reducing cabling, which also makes it more reliable, with fewer points of failure. 10.F45
