TAKING ON THE PRESSURES OF PLAYOUT Imagine Communications BY KIRSTY HAZLEWOOD
The XVR playout engine, designed to streamline the launch and management of broadcast-quality linear and live streaming channels across on-prem and cloud environments, is being debuted by Imagine Communications. It was developed in response to the pressure media companies face to increase channel count without raising costs.
The deployment-optimised playout engine is aimed at

a per-channel basis, allowing fast customisation and scalable operation.
XVR brings fl exibility to cloud and on-prem playout
large-scale ingest, playout and unifi ed origination environments, particularly in SMPTE ST 2110 or cloud-hosted scenarios. XVR integrates with Imagine Communications’ Aviator Orchestrator, Aviator Automation
and ADC playout automation systems, and connects with third- party automation, cloud playout and DevOps tools via secure APIs. Broadcasters can confi gure ingest, graphics, automation and output independently on

With high channel density on-prem and reduced per-instance cloud costs, the platform aims to offer fl exible, cost-effective operation. 1.B73
Same difference: Riedel’s mixing engine enables fully automated, scalable audio workfl ows
multifunctional space saver. StageLink is rugged, compact and designed to simplify IP-based audio and intercom workfl ows. Using network infrastructure, it enables decentralised, scalable signal distribution for microphones,
GPIOs and intercom systems. Same and VSP are part of Riedel’s continued move towards virtualisation.
Same delivers more than 30 advanced audio processing tools on COTS server clusters, enabling fully automated,
scalable audio workfl ows, while VSP brings secure, platform- independent intercom access to mobile devices and browsers, building the foundation for server-based hybrid deployment models.
