BCNEXXT will use the NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 18-22, to focus on how broadcasters can turn today's operational and market pressures into opportunity. Meeting with customers in the IABM Lounge (N257) and showcasing Vipe in collaboration with partners on the Synamedia stand (W2851), BCNEXXT will demonstrate how its cloud-native playout platform is enabling a new model for monetization and playout transformation.

Why it matters

As broadcasters navigate shifting economics, potential infrastructure disruption and rising audience expectations, BCNEXXT aims to help operators rethink how playout and distribution are built and operated. In a world of FAST, AVOD and hybrid models, BCNEXXT says playout directly impacts revenue, and Vipe enables this shift by aligning agile infrastructure with real demand.

The details

BCNEXXT will demonstrate how Vipe helps broadcasters and content owners move from channel management to maximizing efficiency and revenue. With the FCC exploring changes to the upper C-band spectrum, broadcasters could face another major transition in distribution, which BCNEXXT says presents an opportunity to modernize with IP-based distribution architectures that deliver lower infrastructure costs and greater flexibility through distributed playout. The company will also explore how broadcasters can use this moment to rebuild distribution for stronger operational and commercial outcomes, including new monetization opportunities via regionalization and targeted advertising. As demand for higher-quality viewing grows, HDR is becoming a key differentiator, and BCNEXXT will discuss a pragmatic approach to HDR implementation.
