Cosmos Cloud Playout Solutions
The Next-Generation Cloud Playout platform for IP & MPEG compliant transport
As an expert in integrated MPEG compliant transport streams / IP workflows, PlayBox Technology UK is working closely with industry pioneers to develop and deliver the tools that broadcasters of all sizes need to succeed in live broadcasting.
The distributive virtualised architecture of the playout engine from Cosmos provides a fast and trusted cloud playout platform enabling broadcasters and service providers to spin up both OTT and traditional TV channels in a few minutes thus lowering the cost of ownership.
Seamless and Robust
Cosmos is our software-based playout platform for Broadcasters, Over The Top service providers and Broadcast Services companies.
Channels can be hosted from data centers or from your own Master Control Room over a private or public cloud. Cosmos also gives you the ability to playout both file-based and live services .
Cosmos is an open system which enables all the features of a playout engine be implemented on a service basis. Cosmos reduces the need to invest in capital infrastructure, also removing the need to find space for technical equipment and the ongoing cost of technical maintenance.
Channel owners across the world gain the freedom to outsource practically all of the technical equipment traditionally required for broadcasting.
Cosmos offers established broadcasters and content owners the ability to introduce new programme channels at very short notice, whether a permanent additional to an existing bouquet or a supplementary programme stream covering a temporary event. It can be matched to a wide variety of deployment models, enabling consistent operation across baseband, hybrid IP, and virtualised, cloud-based networks.
Cosmos also enables independent content producers to establish television channels without the high start-up cost usually inherent in such ventures.
Cosmos delivers unsurpassed flexibility in format handling and transcoding. It supports practically any technical standard in today's fast-evolving television industry, whether for terrestrial, satellite or online viewing, live, near-live or catch-up.
