Miami-Dade TV Revamps Playout With PlayBox Neo

Miami-Dade TV (MDTV) has leveraged PlayBox Neo to upgrade playout of the channel’s 24/7 mix of live and pre-recorded programming, per a station release.

“MDTV has been revamping key components of its HD/4K production and transmission environment, including master control, to create a more flexible and reliable workflow and improve the quality of its programming,” the release said.

The PlayBox Neo system replaced MDTV’s existing automation and server set up in master control. The new workflow utilizes the AirBox Neo servers for playout. The solution also controls the inputs and outputs from the Rohde & Schwarz router.

“The PlayBox Neo system handles both live signal switching and the insertion of prerecorded segments, ensuring smooth broadcast operations,” the release said. “It automates the playout of MDTV’s programming across its broadcast channels and streaming platforms. Content includes scheduled government meetings, public service content, educational programs, and live events.”

Shawn Hinchey, chief of digital media services at MDTV said the station “needed a solution that would integrate seamlessly with our existing infrastructure while providing a robust and intuitive interface for our team.” He said that PlayBox Neo stood out because of its modular design, IP streaming support, scheduling flexibility, and ease of use. “It supports the kind of hybrid SDI/IP workflows we’re adopting and allows for remote operation, which has become increasingly important in our environment,” he added.

MDTV is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week on YouTube, Comcast channel 76, and AT&T U-verse channel 99.
