Company's solution showcase and knowledge-sharing seminars to focus on How to' phase of technology transition

Imagine Communications, empowering the media and entertainment industry through transformative innovation, will showcase at NAB Show 2017 its latest product and solution innovations aimed at helping broadcasters and other media companies advance to or accelerate the adoption phase of the modernisation of their production, playout and distribution facilities. Imagine Communications has selected the media and entertainment industry's largest tradeshow and exhibition, beginning April 24th in Las Vegas, as the venue for unveiling how its market-proven innovations are being utilised by media companies around the world to provide a step-by-step evolution of their current infrastructures and operations to the modernised facilities of the future. The company is also making its South Hall (SL1516) debut, expanding its presence at the seminal event and unveiling a new booth design.

One of the biggest challenges facing today's broadcasters and other media companies is the seamless and disruption-free adoption of the next-generation architectures that will be required to meet the consumption demands of the not-too-distant future.

The once-murky image of the media facility of the future has come into sharp focus over the past year, providing both content creators and distributors with a clearly defined destination at the end of their next-generation journeys, said Imagine Communications CEO Charlie Vogt. Media companies of all sizes and from all regions are now in a position to map out plans for the step-by-step transition of their current facilities and business models. By demonstrating Innovation at Work at NAB 2017, Imagine Communications is showcasing its commitment to helping our customers manage the How to' stage of the migration of their operations through breakthroughs in microservices design, Cloud-Native applications and our modular approach to solving their most demanding business challenges.

At NAB Show 2017, Imagine will shine a spotlight on key module-based platforms, such as Selenio One, xG , Versio and Zenium , that are designed to enable media companies to construct and evolve their workflows at their own pace and in lockstep with market demands, seamlessly integrating the latest technologies and capabilities as they become available. The company will also demonstrate the comprehensiveness of its end-to-end portfolio, which spans ad management, linear and nonlinear, broadcast and OTT - including ATSC 3.0 - and enables unprecedented integration capabilities across workflows and all media and business operations.
