CLOUD-NATIVE PLAYOUT PLATFORM GETS AN AI BOOST BCNexxt
BY KIRSTY HAZLEWOOD
The latest version of cloud-native playout platform Vipe is on show, aiming to make playout operations more predictable and resilient. It shifts rendering and quality control earlier in the production timeline; BCNexxt claims Vipe can reduce operating costs by up to 75% for a 24-hour channel carrying just three hours of live content. New features for Vipe include multilingual AI-powered subtitling and real-time voiceover capabilities, which integrate voice synthesis and multilingual dubbing
99.9999% reliability, with enhanced fl exibility and scalability. Exception-based workfl ows automate routine tasks and escalate only when content falls outside predefi ned parameters. Operators focus solely on genuine anomalies and live content, helping teams scale effi ciently without compromising performance.
Vipe’s workfl ow and dynamic resource allocation ensure resilient playout
to accelerate localisation for live content. HLG and Dolby Atmos deliver enhanced HDR visuals and immersive audio, while expanded automation streamlines ingest, metadata, scheduling and QC to
speed up delivery. Built around a pre-assembly, exception-based architecture, the system claims to reduce operator-to-channel ratios, lower infrastructure costs and deliver
The combination of pre-rendering and exception-based automation supports scalable, cost-effective playout across on-prem, cloud and hybrid environments. Channels can be created in minutes on a pay-as- you-go basis. 3.B45
