TC Broadcasting enhances global playout capabilities via PlayBox Neo upgrades

Thailand’s TC Broadcasting, a systems integrator subsidiary of Thaicom, has incorporated the latest PlayBox Neo Multi Playout Manager (MPM) and channel-in-a-box HD server updates, solidifying its commitment to delivering cutting-edge broadcast solutions to its international clientele. 

The move underscores TC Broadcasting’s strategy to maintain a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving broadcast technology landscape. As a long-standing PlayBox Neo customer, the company, which provides turnkey services for live on-air TV stations, is leveraging the upgraded technology to enhance its playout capabilities and extend its reach across its global customer base, spanning Africa and Europe. 

“We have a great relationship with PlayBox Neo, and we just knew we could depend on their solutions to help us deliver next-generational broadcasting,” said Witcha Burirak, Video Systems Engineering Manager of TC Broadcasting. “We have already been using Playbox equipment for quite a while, and we are very happy with how well everything works.”

The upgrade allows TC Broadcasting to optimise its playout operations, delivering cost-effective and reliable services. Key features of the PlayBox Neo solutions, such as the ability to process and transmit content during ingest and remote monitoring and control via PC or mobile devices, provide TC Broadcasting with a distinct advantage. 

Nut Dessamer, Director of PlayBox Neo’s Thailand branch, highlighted the flexibility and efficiency of the solutions, saying, “Our solutions allow key staff to control practically every element of the scheduling and playout process remotely as required. We aim to simplify a highly complex process by providing world-class products that bring user-friendly solutions, coupled with dedicated customer support.” 

TC Broadcasting’s decision to upgrade reflects the increasing demand for advanced playout solutions that offer remote accessibility and streamlined workflows. PlayBox Neo’s suite of products, including AirBox Neo, TitleBox Neo, and Capture Suite, provides comprehensive tools for playout, ingest, scheduling, graphics, and content distribution. 

“The PlayBox Neo Thailand team worked with us directly during the installation process and provided training throughout,” Burirak concluded. “PlayBox Neo systems are user-friendly and outstanding for their efficiency and dependability, and we are looking forward to another successful year ahead with the best equipment to get the job done.”
