Scaling Multi-Platform Delivery: Planetcast Showcases Integrated Media Workflow Advancements at NAB Show 2026

in the news - 16 July 2026

We successfully unveiled a series of advancements to our integrated technology portfolio at the NAB Show 2026 in Las Vegas, highlighting new capabilities engineered to support large-scale media operations. The updates focused on expanded IP-based live sports workflows, greater global deployment scale, and improved efficiencies enabled by hybrid cloud infrastructure and automation.

Today, we manage more than 450 channels worldwide, reaching an audience of approximately 1.3 billion viewers across more than 50 major media brands. This extensive global footprint underscores our growing role in enabling complex, multi-platform media operations across international markets.

Shifting to a Unified, End-to-End Operating Framework

Building on our suite of powerful in-house platforms—including MediaHQ, Contido, CloudX, ReCaster, and BATS—we are actively transitioning from individual product offerings to a unified, end-to-end operating framework. This integrated approach combines content management, playout, distribution, and monetization, allowing media companies to streamline their operations and improve structural flexibility.

During the exhibition, we hosted live demonstrations showcasing advancements across our entire ecosystem. The focus centered on tighter integration, improved workflow efficiency, and greater flexibility across playout, IP distribution, OTT delivery, and monetization to help broadcasters and content owners manage operations more effectively across live, linear, and streaming environments.

The Evolution of ReCaster

A key highlight of our showcase was the evolution of ReCaster, our IP-based signal transport platform, which now supports hybrid deployment models using SRT, RIST, and UDP protocols. This development enables broadcasters to deliver high-quality live content with low latency of around 2.5 seconds across distributed networks.

The platform supports both single and multi-programme transport streams, as well as mixed-mode operations, offering robust scalability for large-scale distribution. ReCaster is currently used by more than 50 customers across key regions including Asia, the Middle East, and the Caribbean.

Proven Case Study: beIN Sports Asia Pacific

In practical deployment, beIN Sports Asia Pacific is actively leveraging CloudX and ReCaster to manage large-scale live sports workflows across the Asia-Pacific region. The setup supports more than 40 simultaneous live events during peak periods while managing 18 linear channels and 24 OTT channels across 12 markets, maintaining uptime levels of 99% across playout and delivery systems.

Addressing Modern Media Challenges

These developments come at a crucial time as the media industry navigates increasing fragmentation across linear, streaming, and social platforms, alongside rising content and sports rights costs and the ongoing transition away from legacy, hardware-reliant infrastructure.

Through live demonstrations at our NAB booth, our team showcased how our integrated platform enables faster channel launches, improved operational agility, and more efficient content delivery across both broadcast and streaming ecosystems.
