IBC 2026: Qvest to Demonstrate Multi-Vendor Dynamic Media Facility Showcase

Qvest will present a multi-vendor Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) showcase at IBC2026 (Booth 10.C24), demonstrating how the EBU's DMF architecture can be implemented through a software-defined production environment running on commodity and cloud infrastructure.

Broadcasters are increasingly looking beyond architectural concepts and asking what already works in practice, says Daniel Clasen, Practice Lead Custom Software Solutions, Qvest. With the DMF Showcase, we are demonstrating how open, software-defined production can be implemented today. Together with our partners, we are turning the Dynamic Media Facility from a reference architecture into a practical reference implementation and providing a blueprint for the future of media production.

One of the biggest opportunities in software-defined production is to use resources more efficiently, says Patrick Steinert, Head of Technology Consulting, Qvest. Production environments are often underutilized because infrastructure is dedicated to individual workflows. Our DMF Showcase demonstrates how shared, software-defined resources can be used more efficiently across a variety of production scenarios and provide a practical path toward more flexible and efficient operations. It also reflects an important milestone: we have created a functional DMF implementation, which will soon be deployed in customer environments.

The showcase brings together the following partners and their contributions: Intel - Intel Xeon processor-based servers with E800 series NICs for ST 2110 and RDMA as the compute foundation; Matrox Video - ORIGIN asynchronous media framework with Kubernetes-native scheduling; NETGEAR - M4350-40X4C 40-port 10G switch with 100G uplinks for ST 2110 and management traffic; Ross Video - SRT-to-MXL media function for integrating SRT contribution feeds into the MXL environment; Riedel - containerized MXL replication for multi-node media processing; Skyline Communications - DataMiner xOps for event planning, orchestration, and lifecycle management; TAG Video Systems - TAG Core software multiviewing and QC across MXL, ST 2110, compressed, and OTT signals; Telos Alliance - Minnetonka Audio UPMAX for immersive audio and ARC for loudness compliance as containerized media functions; Techex - tx darwin for standards conversion, switching, and compression with MXL integration; Telestream - Pulse platform for MXL-based ST 2110 flow integration and waveform/vectorscope monitoring; Wavelet Beam - IRIS-VIDEO GPU-accelerated live denoising alongside MXL Player, Recorder, and 10 Bit Viewer.
