With growing industry momentum, Vipe is proving how intelligent automation and adaptive, event-based scaling can transform playout into a more responsive, cost-effective, and operator-friendly experience.
BCNEXXT will unveil the latest release of its Vipe playout platform, offering broadcasters and media companies a smarter alternative to rigid, overprovisioned infrastructure. Vipe replaces traditional one-to-one channel-server models with a fully adaptive architecture that automatically scales resources, CPU or GPU, based on the complexity of each scheduled event. Using machine learning, Vipe analyzes upcoming content and applies resource labels in advance, triggering the on-demand deployment of containerized microservices. With this approach, there is no need to build infrastructure out to meet peak demand.
“This isn’t just about particular playout features,” said Graham Sharp, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing, BCNEXXT. “Vipe is shifting how playout is deployed and managed. It is removing the handcuffs on scalability. We’re transforming budgets from high fixed costs to more cost-efficient and manageable variable ones. It’s the adaptability and efficiency broadcasters have been looking for, and it’s ready today.”
With its “only pay for what you play” model, Vipe reduces operational overhead and hardware requirements. Complex graphics and DVE effects are routed to GPU instances, while simpler events such as static branding are processed via CPU. This intelligent, adaptive distribution of compute power dramatically improves efficiency while maintaining broadcast-grade quality.
The platform’s interface is equally dynamic. Vipe’s UI automatically adjusts to the schedule. When live events are detected, Vipe automatically displays the relevant controls, such as live feed monitoring and branding windows, only for the duration needed. Once the schedule returns to file-based content, the UI automatically adjusts, minimizing workflow friction and operator burden.
Other key features include:
-
Adaptive resource orchestration that adjusts in real time to scheduled events
-
Automated QC with exception-based error surfacing across multiple channels
-
Configurable business rules that prepare live feeds and scale infrastructure ahead of time
-
Operator-friendly UI that changes contextually to reduce human error and eliminate repetitive tasks
Vipe enables smarter scheduling and staffing models. File-based content can be pre-assembled and quality-checked ahead of airtime during office hours, reducing pressure on playout teams. Preconfigured channel templates and rules facilitate much of the operational complexity automatically.
For broadcasters, the benefits are immediate: fewer servers, leaner teams, lower costs, and reduced risk. From a pop-up FAST channel to preparing for a live sports broadcast, Vipe adapts in real time, delivering the resilience and responsiveness modern media operations demand.
“Vipe brings the highest level of automation and adaptability in the market,” added Sharp. “It’s built for how broadcasters need to work now, fast, flexible, and without compromise.”
