Pebble brings flexible, secure, stable playout automation to BroadcastAsia 2024

Stand 6H1-8, BroadcastAsia, Singapore Expo, 29 – 31 May: Pebble, the leading automation, content management and integrated channel specialist, is showing its proven and widely used playout automation solutions at BroadcastAsia 2024. The presentation will underline the unique flexibility of the architecture to meet the needs of all broadcasters, including support for best-of-breed systems, integrated channels and remote operations.

Pebble has led the industry in secure and stable playout automation and content management, with the enviable reputation of being a trusted supplier to major broadcasters and content companies worldwide.

The product portfolio provides solutions from a single channel to a very large numbers of concurrent channels, while providing full functionality for premium services, including channels that need to handle the complexity of live events. 

The architecture meets the needs of broadcasters who prefer to build playout systems with best-of-breed components from multiple vendors, as well as those who are migrating to IP and using all-in-one playout engines, or any combination of both. To meet all these requirements, Pebble provides enterprise automation and the most flexible integrated channel solution supporting SDI, SMPTE ST2110 and NDI sources and feeds, all in one server. 

“For more than 20 years our business focus has been entirely on excellence in playout automation,” said Mat Shell, head of global sales at Pebble. “That alone makes us unique: we are not a media technology company that also does playout; we are specialists in automated delivery.“

“Our position gives us a clear understanding of the market and where it is heading,” Shell continued. “We know the key issues facing broadcasters today: the need to bridge SDI and IP environments; the move to hybrid ground and cloud solutions to create the most cost-effective, flexible and powerful architectures; and the ever-growing importance of security in a world where cyber-threats grow ever more dangerous. That understanding drives our R&D spending and is at the heart of Automation 2.0.” 

Pebble’s automation technology powers more than 1500 channels in 70 countries worldwide, embracing advanced automation, multi-language and multi-region delivery with unparalleled efficiency, reliability and sustainability. See Pebble’s technology in action on stand 6H1-8 at BroadcastAsia 2024.

Pebble shows the stable future of playout automation at CABSAT 2024

Stand S1-H21, CABSAT, Dubai World Trade Centre, 21 – 23 May 2024:  Pebble, the leading automation, content management and integrated channel specialist, will demonstrate Automation 2.0, the new generation of its proven software platform, already in use with major broadcasters across the Middle East. 

For more than two decades, Pebble has led the industry in secure and stable playout automation and content management, with the enviable reputation of being a trusted supplier to major broadcasters and content companies worldwide. The agile software platform supports from a single channel to a very large numbers of concurrent channels, while providing full functionality for premium services. 

The architecture meets the needs of broadcasters who prefer to build playout systems with best-of-breed components from multiple vendors, as well as those who are migrating to IP and using all-in-one playout engines, or any combination of both. To meet all these requirements, Pebble provides enterprise automation and the most flexible integrated channel solution supporting SDI, SMPTE ST2110 and NDI sources and feeds, all in one server.

“Our users – including more than 40 broadcasters in the MENA region – depend on our software for the mission-critical work of channel playout and content management,” said Samir Isbaih, VP sales Middle East and APAC for Pebble. “We are constantly listening to our customers, and they are telling us they have two key concerns: hybrid deployments (on-premise and cloud) and security. That is where we focused our R&D investment in developing Pebble Automation 2.0.” 

Most broadcasters are looking at hybrid implementations for playout. Many still prefer primary facilities on premises, with backup and disaster recovery increasingly moving to private datacentre or public cloud. To gain maximum cost efficiency in this configuration requires sophisticated new architectures, bringing state-of-the-art technology and software design standards to the media industry. 

At the same time, systems with communications between the ground and the cloud demand new and extremely tight security protocols, to minimise the risk of cyber-threats to the broadcast channels.  

Pebble Automation 2.0 was introduced in 2023 and has been widely welcomed by the industry. It is shortlisted for one of the coveted BroadcastPro Middle East Awards – Best in Broadcast Playout – to be presented at CABSAT. 

“Playout solutions from Pebble are seen as a stable, safe choice by the major broadcasters in the region, while modern, extremely flexible and feature rich,” explained Samir Isbaih. “We are dedicated to our solutions, to provide the best security, redundancy and the highest reliability. We are also heavily invested in the region, with a growing team of expert engineers based in the UAE providing project management, project implementation and after sale support to ensure the most effective solutions are designed, installed, handed over, and supported through the life cycle of the system.”
