Playout has long been encumbered by fixed, usually overprovisioned infrastructure based on peak requirements. Vipe offers a radically new approach, automatically scaling resources to the complexity of content, delivering both flexibility and efficiency, reducing operating costs and increasing reliability. Using machine learning, Vipe analyzes the schedule and labels each event based on its complexity, replacing rigid, fixed-rule resource allocation with an adaptive resource usage. Containerized micro-services and their required resources are activated or deactivated on demand.
This "only pay for what you play" model fundamentally breaks the one-to-one relationship between channels and servers always assuring resource usage is kept to a minimum, delivering the most efficient and cost-effective playout environment whether on-premises or in the cloud.
Vipe’s unique architecture goes further and provides extensive automated quality checking, presenting errors only by exception, in multi-channel easy to use interfaces.
The UI’s themselves, automatically adjust based on the content – when live events are scheduled, live feed monitoring and live control windows appear, only to disappear when the schedule reverts back to file base content.
The result is a playout ecosystem that is lean, resilient, and fully aligned with the evolving needs of media organizations.
For broadcasters, streaming platforms, and media networks, the benefits are immediate: lower infrastructure costs, smarter redundancy models, more agile operations, requiring fewer staff. Whether assembling file-based content in advance or scaling up for live events.
BCNEXXT is not just building better software, it’s shifting the paradigm in how playout is deployed, operated, and scaled, truly aligning with the cost base required by todays Broadcasters, particularly turning high fixed costs into much lower variable ones and creating true elasticity. This is technical innovation driving an operational revolution; by dis-assembling the real-time playout process into its constituent parts and enabling file based content to be pre-assembled, and automatically quality checked during office hours, well ahead of on-air time.
In today’s world of changing distribution requirements Vipe enables broadcasters to spin up or down channels as needed, apply daily licensing for live content, and use a shared rendering infrastructure to dramatically reduce server count. By automating complexity and optimizing resource use, Vipe enables broadcasters to be more responsive, more cost-effective, and more innovative.
