the PlayBox Neo team visited Brazil to present their advanced TV channel branding and playout solutions.
Partnering with CIS Group, a systems integrator with over 35 years of experience in the Latin American market, they organized events to engage with industry leaders and potential clients.
Addressing LATAM Media Needs
Felipe Andrade, CIS Group VP of Sales Americas, stated, “LATAM media content owners and channel managers face the same need as their colleagues around the world to maximize operational efficiency. PlayBox Neo’s solution allows the entire playout process to be controlled as a coordinated workflow, from ingest right through to on-air or online transmission. Among its strengths are an easy-to-understand graphic interface allowing the entire process to be handled quickly, easily, and reliably.”
Successful Collaboration with CIS Group
Sonya Chakarova, PlayBox Neo Business Development Manager for Latin America, expressed gratitude towards the CIS Group for their partnership. “After successful exhibitions in Europe, the USA, Middle East, and APAC during Q2, we found it highly effective to connect with key TV channel managers and service providers in Brazil. We organized sales and technical training sessions with the CIS team, visited our current clients, and met with potential new ones.”
Demonstrations and Training Sessions
The PlayBox Neo team conducted demonstrations for clients, showcasing multi-channel playout and IP streaming automation. They also highlighted the integration with ENPS and SNEWS for smooth playout operations in the newsroom environment. Plamen Chardakliev, PlayBox Neo Broadcast Engineer, explained, “Our control interface, designed for intuitive use, simplifies workflows from content ingest to transmission. Demonstrations featured our Media Gateway, offering efficient playout routing and decoding via software. Brazilian broadcasters value features like TS Time Delay, enabling flexible playout delays from hours to weeks based on available storage.”
