What were the highlights of the NAB show for you?
There were so many this year. It was a fantastic show for ST Engineering iDirect. We showcased our latest product, the MCX8000 multi-carrier satellite gateway which is uniquely positioned to provide a path to support the transport of today´s traditional broadcasts and tomorrow´s OTT services. It’s a high-density, high-availability, fully redundant modular system that is suitable for a variety of broadcast use cases. These include direct-to-home broadcasting where bringing quality content to the largest possible subscriber base is key. It is highly bandwidth efficient and maximizes the throughput, using the DVB standards, and provides a reliable transport stream delivery. We’re delighted to say that the MCX8000 was awarded Product of the Year at NAB. We are enormously proud to take away such an accolade.
We also showcased the SKYflow ecosystem in a live demonstration during the event, which generated a huge amount of interest. This is a revolutionary multicast ABR ecosystem that features technology from Broadpeak, EKT, EasyBroadcast, Quadrille and ST Engineering iDirect.
Through SKYflow, our consortium has defined satellite’s role in OTT delivery and will enable service providers and telcos to deliver content to any device in any location and will satisfy the many use cases that require satellite delivery of OTT services.
