BCNEXXT at NAB 2026: Turning Industry Pressure into Opportunity

BCNEXXT will use NAB 2026 to focus on how broadcasters can turn today’s operational and market pressures into opportunity. Meeting with customers in the IABM Lounge (N257) and showcasing Vipe in collaboration with partners on the Synamedia stand (W2851), BCNEXXT will demonstrate how its cloud-native playout platform is enabling a new model for monetization and playout transformation. As broadcasters navigate shifting economics, potential infrastructure disruption, and rising audience expectations, BCNEXXT is helping operators rethink how playout and distribution are built and operated. Monetization Starts with Infrastructure In a world of FAST, AVOD, and hybrid models, playout directly impacts revenue. Channels must launch quickly, evolve continuously, and scale efficiently across regions. Vipe enables this shift by aligning agile infrastructure with real demand, transforming playout into a driver of monetization:

• Elastic scaling based on channel requirements
• Cloud-native architecture removing geographic constraints
• Simplified operations that reduce complexity and cost

At NAB, BCNEXXT will demonstrate how Vipe helps broadcasters and content owners move from channel management to maximizing efficiency and revenue. Turning C-Band Disruption into Opportunity With the FCC exploring changes to the upper C-band spectrum, broadcasters could face another major transition in distribution. While disruptive, this shift presents an opportunity to modernize. Vipe supports a move toward IP-based distribution architectures that deliver:

• Lower infrastructure and distribution costs
• Greater flexibility through distributed playout
• New monetization opportunities via regionalization and targeted advertising
• Improved resilience with redundant, decentralized workflows

BCNEXXT will explore how broadcasters can use this moment to rebuild distribution for stronger operational and commercial outcomes. HDR: Enhancing Experience Without Adding ComplexityAs demand for higher-quality viewing grows, HDR is becoming a key differentiator—but it also introduces workflow complexity. BCNEXXT will discuss a pragmatic approach to HDR implementation:

• Supporting HDR where it delivers clear value, particularly live sports
• Aligning workflows with real-world production and distribution needs
• Maintaining consistency across live and file-based content
• Avoiding unnecessary processing that increases operational complexity
