DENVER—Imagine Communications will demonstrate how it can assist media organizations achieve sustainable, scalable and profitable growth with solutions and strategies focused on delivery, connectivity, playout, monetization and ad tech at the 2024 NAB Show, April 13-17, in Las Vegas.

“Growth was the key focus of the M&E industry for the past few years ― growth in subscribers, viewership, library size, hours of live sports, etc. — and much of that growth came at a cost that is just not sustainable,” says Steve Reynolds, president of Imagine Communications.

“We’re now seeing customers looking to pivot to more rational, scalable business models for both CTV and linear, which remains the core revenue source for most media businesses. At this year’s NAB Show, Imagine is leading the way in support of this industry shift, demonstrating innovative solutions that move beyond pure technical enablement of linear and CTV operations to a more business-savvy view of how can we do this more profitably?”

The company will feature:

  • Connectivity: A hands on demo of the Selenio Network Processor (SNP) in IP and SDI workflows for those looking to modernize their technology stack with SMPTE ST 2110, HDR or JPEG XS; the new SNP-XL, which extends the processor’s existing capabilities supporting UHD and HDR conversion, multiviewers, master control and JPEG XS to support for increased SDI flexibility and a new double-density gateway; and the Magellan Control System. 
  • Playout: New capabilities for the Aviator platform that enables automation and orchestration of multisite operation—both geographic and on-prem—using a common UI; and live demos of the Versio integrated playout solution and live signal connectivity enabled by Magellan Connect.
