GlobalM will be exhibiting at IBC 2025 a powerful set of upgrades designed to simplify and modernise live video contribution and distribution.

One of the company’s show highlights is its fully software-defined video network (SDVN), engineered for transporting live IP video over any network. This includes the public internet, 5G, LEO satellite, fibre and cloud, with the low latency and high resilience required in professional production environments.

The GlobalM platform is cloud-native by design, and runs on AWS, Oracle, Google Cloud, OpenStack, or Alibaba. For edge deployments, GlobalM offers appliance hardware in their GMX1 platform, supporting GPU-based encoding with NVIDIA technology. Real-time transport protocols include SRT, RIST, RTMP, HLS, MPEG-DASH, and RTP.

Making an IBC debut is GlobalM Device Control (GMDC), a control API that enables port-to-port codec orchestration between the GlobalM platform and edge hardware. The live demo at IBC will run on the Matrox Monarch EDGE, showing how operators can remotely initiate, configure and monitor encoding and decoding sessions directly from the GlobalM UI. This integration gives full end-to-end control over contribution and distribution workflows from a single interface.

This moves GlobalM beyond being a transport layer into a full-stack orchestration platform, combining cloud control with real-time media routing and device-level management, ideal for network operators, sports federations, news agencies, and broadcasters working across distributed environments.

Unlike containerised clusters, GlobalM uses a containerless orchestration model based on native OS-level tools (systems), which offers faster recovery, reduced overhead, and greater transparency, especially valuable in edge and remote workflows.

Whether supporting remote commentary, contribution from stadiums, or global multi-feed distribution, GlobalM helps broadcasters move live video where it needs to go without relying on inflexible gateways, or high-cost legacy infrastructure.

Paul Calleja, CEO, GlobalM, said, “IBC is where we show what we’ve built and how it’s being used right now. This isn’t a future roadmap. It’s proven, in production, and solving real-world problems.”To find out more, visit stand 3.C36 at IBC 2025, which is taking place from September 12-15 at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre.
