New Delhi and Singapore, 22 May 2024 – Planetcast Media Services, the global broadcast technology and media services provider, will be demonstrating its new end-to-end, single-window media management and delivery offering at BroadcastAsia 2024 in Singapore, May 29 – 31 (Singapore Expo, Booth 6C1 – 1). The event will witness the public debut of Planetcast’s cloud-first NexC architecture in the APAC region. NexC empowers media companies to overcome the complexity challenge of today’s distribution landscape, enabling the friction-free management of content across processing, post-production, distribution, and monetisation.
“We are excited to demonstrate to APAC industry players how NexC can enable them to overcome today’s complexity challenge,” says Sanjay Duda, CEO of Planetcast Media Services. “Media companies must reach audiences on an unprecedented scale through a constantly evolving array of platforms and devices, which adds complexity. At BroadcastAsia, we will showcase how our integrated, cloud-driven approach can streamline these processes, enhance agility, while improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness. We will also discuss how we successfully handled video production and distribution for Asia’s most valuable sports event, the Indian Premier League, which finishes just three days before the start of the show.”
At BroadcastAsia, Planetcast will also show how its recent acquisition of Switch Media has enhanced NexC’s distribution capability with a proven and commercially successful end-to-end OTT platform. Through the acquisition, Switch Media’s proprietary online video solutions have been integrated with NexC, ensuring that media companies can streamline content delivery while driving monetisation opportunities.
