PlayBox Technology reports the successful implementation of a ProductionAirBox at PlanetaTVs Annual Music Awards 2013 Live show. ProductionAirBox was employed as the main player for this live production.

The elaborate stage production was captured using nine high-definition cameras and transmitted on Planeta TV, Planeta Folk, PlanetaHD and YouTube Live. Live CG and interactive graphics were provided by PlayBox TitleBox servers, one HD and two SD. The event reached over 2 million viewers worldwide.

During the awards ceremony ProductionAirBox server was used to play back synchronised video sequences to the three on-stage video walls. Another video output was dedicated to the video mixer in the OB truck. The built-in multiviewer displayed time and video information that helped the back stage and control room teams to work together during the show.

We are extremely happy with the performance of ProductionAirBox and with the functionalities the built-in multiviewer provides, says Radostin Petrov, Technical Director, Planeta TV. ProductionAirBox is another powerful solution we can rely on. We have worked with PlayBox Technology for over 12 years now, employing five AirBox playouts for our main channels with character generation and interactive graphics provided by TitleBox servers. Our main ingest system consists of two CaptureBox servers. The ingested materials are managed by the DataBox metadata system.

ProductionAirBox provides content playout for news, live shows, studio screens and video walls, live production broadcasts and other places where video content has to be displayed. It offers four independent players in single server. The video output standard can be changed at any time. An integral aspect ratio and resolution converter as well as support for a wide variety of compressions help media content to be played without transcoding.
