PlayBox Technology has developed its most advanced integrated playout engine yet.
The TV Channel in a Box is the result of over 15 years of experience in developing playout solutions for the world’s leading broadcasters. The PlayBox Technology Channel-in-a-Box provides an integrated playout solution for Broadcasters and OTT service providers in a 1RU or 3RU server, regardless if you are working with IP or SDI.

As you would expect from PlayBox Technology, it offers sophisticated and easy to use automation. We have designed a user-friendly ingest which also gives you the ability to FTP your media straight to the Channel In A Box, saving you time.
