Also on display will be Elecard CodecWorks, a live transcoder, multiplexer, and gateway for professional-grade video encoding and streaming. Supporting codecs like HEVC/H.265, AVC/H.264 and MPEG-2, it enables adaptive bitrate streaming over HLS and MPEG-DASH to ensure high-quality delivery. Four high-profile use cases from an international sports event in the MENA region will illustrate the solution's capabilities. These include UHD video transmission with HDR to 5,000 devices with low latency, SDI channel creation with multi-track audio, multicast delivery over unreliable UDP networks with FEC-based redundancy, and IPTV quality monitoring across 40 remote sites using Elecard Boro.
The deployment of these solutions resulted in the establishment of a broadcasting infrastructure capable of 24/7 operation, real-time graphic overlay capabilities and comprehensive signal redundancy using a 1+1 scheme. Elecard also provided on-site technical support and training to ensure uninterrupted service and optimal performance.
Elecard played a pivotal role in a major international sports competition in the MENA region, delivering four advanced broadcasting solutions.
In the first case, Elecard CodecWorks enabled UHD video delivery with HDR and 10-bit coding to 5,000 devices with just 1,000 ms latency, using SDI-to-IP encoding on a Supermicro-Nvidia platform. The second case involved creating eight SDI TV channels with support for multiple audio tracks, live and pre-recorded content, and real-time signal processing using a custom CodecWorks-based system.
The third solution tackled multicast delivery to 40 remote sites over UDP networks prone to packet loss. Elecard implemented FEC-based redundancy and dual transmission paths to ensure stable streaming with under 20 ms latency. In the fourth deployment, Elecard Boro monitored IPTV broadcasts at 40 remote venues, collecting quality metrics across 1,000 channels using a centrally managed CDN monitoring system.
These implementations ensured 24/7 uninterrupted broadcasting, advanced graphic overlay capabilities, comprehensive staff support and full signal redundancy with a 1+1 backup scheme.

Eutelsat, Rotana and Vestel launch targeted advertising on satellite TV
The platform's multi-solution architecture allows broadcasters to either manage ad scheduling themselves or opt for a streamlined, automated process. Satellite operator Eutelsat has teamed up with Rotana Media Services and consumer electronics giant Vestel to introduce geographic-based targeted advertising for satellite television channels. The partnership, unveiled at CABSAT 2025, aims to transform Free-to-Air (FTA) broadcasting by enhancing monetisation through precise audience targeting. Building on the success of its servicewhich has already improved the way FTA viewers discover and engage with contentEutelsat is now reengineering delivery, playout and reporting mechanisms across mass-market satellite receivers. This new strategy is designed to accelerate the adoption of targeted advertising to 35m households in the MENA region within five years, from a total audience of 66m households currently served by the Eutelsat-Nilesat 7/8°West orbital position. Re-engineering delivery, playout and reporting mechanisms of mass market satellite receivers, Eutelsat and partners are driving the rapid rollout of satellite-targeted advertising to tens of millions of satellite households within a five-year timeframe. A multi-solution architecture will give broadcasters complete control to schedule and trigger advertising, or a managed approach for those who prefer to minimise the technical and administrative details. Aymeric Genty, President of the Eutelsat Video Business Unit, commented: 'Targeted advertising multiplies the revenue potential of each ad minute. Most advertisers are interested in the specific market segments that they are targeting. This enables broadcasters to expand their number of advertisers. Its a win-win solution that generates more revenue through satellite television. The advertising opportunities on satellite are huge. There are 66 million households in MENA watching TV at the Eutelsat-Nilesat 7/8°West video neighbourhood. Our goal is to activate targeted ads for 35m of them within five years.' Nezar Nagro, President of Rotana Media Services, added: 'RMS operates at the intersection of premium content, advanced ad technology, and deep regional market expertise. With established offices in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt, we are uniquely positioned to unlock advertiser demand within local markets, enabling brands to target audiences with precision and scale. 'As advertisers increasingly demand proof of performance, our focus is also on enabling reliable return channel data from connected devices to validate ad delivery and audience engagement. This data layer is critical to building trust and accountability in a satellite-based targeting ecosystem. Coupled with geographic ad insertion, it opens the door to scalable, market-specific monetisation on linear TV, a transformation that brings the efficiencies and precision of digital into the satellite environment. Were excited to partner with Eutelsat and Vestel to help realise this evolution.' At?nç Ö?üt, Deputy General Manager of Vestel Consumer Electronics Product Management, stated: 'As a leading TV manufacturer, we are committed to enhancing the user experience by providing smarter and more intuitive access to content. Our collaboration with Eutelsat to integrate functionality directly into our TVs is a significant step forward – offering consumers easier channel navigation and an enriched, dynamic programme guide. In addition, while most of our Smart TVs already support targeted advertising through internet-based IPTV environments, bringing this capability to satellite broadcasting has remained a challenge – until now. This advancement opens up new and exciting opportunities for personalised advertising on satellite TV, a breakthrough that will transform advertising monetisation in this space. We are delighted to be working with Eutelsat to lead this innovation.'
