Broadcast Pro18-07-2025
New software solutions expand reliable timing measurement capabilities across broadcast, live venues, and professional AV environments.
Hitomi Broadcast, the market leader in audio/video alignment and latency tools, will showcase its expanded MatchBox ecosystem at IBC 2025. The company will demonstrate how its trusted timing measurement technology now addresses latency challenges across diverse environments, from traditional broadcast facilities to venue production, consumer devices and medical applications.
Hitomi's new software solutions create a comprehensive ecosystem that connects different parts of the broadcast chain, enabling teams to share analysis resources and measure timing accuracy from camera to final distribution.
At IBC 2025, Hitomi will demonstrate its 'glass-to-glass' measurement capability, showing how end-to-end latency can be precisely measured from camera capture through to final display. This addresses the critical need for understanding timing throughout the entire signal path as direct-to-consumer streaming becomes more prevalent.
Russell Johnson, Director at Hitomi, said: 'As the world becomes more software-focused, so does Hitomi. We're moving with the times to provide broadcasters with the peace of mind that comes from knowing their content is perfectly timed, regardless of delivery method. We have been working with a number of trusted partners to bring our timing capabilities within places where it's never been before.'

Mediagenix to demo integration of Spideo personalisation tech at IBC

Fully integrated personalisation and recommendations engine continuously refines data-driven decisions from content strategy to title management and automated scheduling. Mediagenix is set to highlight the full integration of Spideo's advanced personalisation and recommendation technology across its entire platform at IBC 2025. This development represents a major leap forward in audience-centric content operations by embedding personalisation not just at the user interface level, but throughout the entire content lifecycle. Traditionally, personalisation tools have been confined to improving front-end user experience. Mediagenix is shifting that paradigm by leveraging Spideo's capabilities to influence upstream content decisions, such as what to produce, acquire, curate or schedule, well before content reaches the viewer. The result is enhanced audience engagement, more efficient monetisation and increased agility in operations. Ivan Verbesselt, Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer at Mediagenix, said: 'At IBC we're showing what happens when you embed content and audience intelligence across the entire content lifecycle. By deeply integrating Spideo, we're helping our customers go beyond personalisation at the point of consumption, giving them the tools to make strategic decisions much earlier in the game, faster, with greater impact on engagement and ROI.' The company's innovation was recently recognised in IDC Innovators: Media and Entertainment 2025, where Mediagenix was named an IDC Innovator for its cutting-edge personalisation strategy. This vision is further explored in the company's latest whitepaper, Engagement & Conversion Hacking: Reimagining the Content Lifecycle Around Personalisation. Central to its strategy is the Self-Optimising Content Monetisation Flywheel, a continuous feedback loop that uses downstream viewer data to refine upstream content choices, boosting engagement and reducing content waste. Mediagenix's personalisation technology is already being utilised by leading media brands such as Globo, DirecTV Latin America and Sky Brasil. Results from these deployments have shown substantial impact, including a 20–60% increase in engagement, over 35% improvement in viewing conversion, and 62% daily catalog exposure. At IBC 2025, attendees will experience how Mediagenix's AI-powered tools, ranging from content strategy and smart title management to multi-platform scheduling and automated programming, use predictive insights to enhance content value. The platform's modular SaaS architecture supports features such as predictive acquisition and commissioning in content strategy; semantic smart curation that aligns editorial goals with rights availability; automated scheduling tailored to audience performance goals; and real-time personalization and recommendation engines for maximizing viewer retention. Mediagenix continues to redefine how content is selected, packaged and monetised, transforming viewer behaviour data into strategic, revenue-driving actions throughout the content value chain.

Appear to exhibit VX software and X Platform integration at IBC 2025

On the show floor, Appear will spotlight how it is enabling a software-defined future in live production, and how its future-proofed technology is built to support the 'always-on' demands to manage growing volumes of content, services and data. Appear, a global leader in live production technology, is set to showcase its next-generation solutions at IBC 2025, spotlighting how the integration of its X Platform hardware and the newly introduced VX software platform empowers broadcasters to shape their own transition toward hybrid and software-defined live production workflows. At the heart of its presentation, Appear will demonstrate how its technologies are designed to meet the demands of an 'always-on' media environment, where rising volumes of services, content and data call for scalable, agile and future-proofed solutions. Key highlights will include the European debut of the VX Media Gateway software and the X5, the newest addition to its hardware-based X Platform. Andy Rayner, CTO, Appear, said: 'Whether you're backhauling UHD from a stadium or running a master-control in the cloud, Appear's new VX platform, its SRT solutions and ever-evolving X Platform features ensure that you can move pristine, low-latency real-time media securely over any network and exchange it seamlessly between hardware and software services. These solutions demonstrate how Appear is enabling truly flexible live production so that operators can create high-quality programmes entirely in software; and do it wherever compute and storage are most cost-effective for their own individual business model.' Among the headline launches at IBC 2025 is the X5, a compact and cost-effective solution built for smaller-scale, high-value live productions. Designed to deliver ultra-low latency and exceptional compression, the X5 excels in IP media transport and supports high-performance workflows in a more accessible footprint. Also debuting is the VX Media Gateway, a powerful software-based media processing solution deployable on-premises or in the cloud. The platform is equipped for secure and scalable operations, with features such as advanced stream protection, seamless failover and compliance with key industry protocols including SMPTE ST-2022 and SRT. The initial release focuses on Ground-to-Cloud workflows, offering the high reliability required for modern live production. Further enhancements to the X Platform will also be on display, including a new 100 Gbps network card that dramatically increases bandwidth capacity, enabling transport of lightly compressed to uncompressed UHD and multi-HD feeds. This upgrade quadruples network interface speed without altering power consumption or infrastructure footprint, offering a seamless path forward for broadcasters. Additionally, Appear will introduce its new Appear Estate Manager (AEM), a comprehensive management tool designed to streamline software updates and monitor deployments at scale. A key theme at the show will be Appear's continued leadership in the evolution of the Media eXchange Layer (MXL), an open framework enabling seamless media exchange between containerised software components. The VX platform is designed from the ground up to support MXL, offering low-latency, vendor-neutral media interchange that supports hybrid and cloud-native workflows with ease. 'MXL is simply the next logical step for live production,' added Rayner. 'Broadcasters want to mix best-of-breed tools, and a lightweight exchange layer lets them do that without sacrificing latency or quality. Our VX platform is built for this world from day one, and all our software solutions will be MXL-compliant.' Thomas Bostrøm Jørgensen, CEO, Appear, commented: 'It's relatively clear where the industry is heading, but far more complex to support broadcasters with diverse infrastructures, unique business models, and varying stages of technology adoption. By embracing standards, microservices, MXL, and containerisation, we're applying the same modular philosophy to software that made our hardware so successful. What sets us apart is how closely we listen to customer feedback, through initiatives like our Customer Councils, to guide the industry's transition to an all-IP, elastic compute and storage future.' With its latest software and hardware offerings, Appear aims to empower broadcasters with the tools they need to future-proof their operations and thrive in a dynamic, digital-first broadcast landscape.
