A Word from Our Sponsor: VBox
VBox Communications is an expert in digital TV, delivering live broadcast services (DVB-T/T2, DVB-C, DVB-S2, ISDB-T/ATSC1&3) to IP streams combined with OTT for consumer market and professional environments. With over 15 years of product development and manufacturing, VBox provides end-to-end firmware, software and hardware platforms that broadcasters, telcos, OEMs and systems integrators use to converge live broadcast TV to IP-based TV.
AI-Powered Broadcast Intelligence at the Edge
AI is naturally found in the VBox product line, by a dedicated engine on device edge AI that allows loading modules and allows processing at the endpoint and transferring processed only data to servers or performing actions implied by the processing data.
Face recognition, object recognition, image interference and content processing operations open up possibilities for generating additional income for broadcasters and partnerships that were previously a desire, to this end VBox is setting up a testbed to create a technological and business POC. You are invited to contact CEO Shlomo Turgeman directly at st@vboxcomm.com.
VBox has 5 product families that serve different needs.
XTI VBox TV Gateway offers consumers a new immersive, multi-tuner reception, Network DVR & Recast, Mobile/Offline access.
XTV Vertical targets specific verticals such as senior living, hospitality, healthcare and public venues, combining ATSC 1.0/3.0 reception, multi-screen streaming and centralized recording under a single management layer.
XLV Family is a multi-tuner professional TV gateway that ingests satellite, terrestrial and cable services and redistributes them as IP streams for enterprise TV, hospitality, digital signage and eLearning.
XLT Data Casting Terminal focuses on ATSC 3.0 datacasting, delivering files, software updates and IoT data from the broadcast signal into local storage as “IP over broadcast”.
XTM is AI-Powered Monitoring at the Edge, a broadcast-grade probe with an embedded AI at the Edge layer, designed to understand not only how well a service is transported, but also what is actually on screen by using different models and logics.
- object detection engine is organized model that identifies a wide range of items in typical broadcast scenes.
- image classification models add a second layer of understanding and dedicated TV-ad and TV-logo classifiers estimate how likely a frame is to belong to a known campaign or to contain a specific trained-for channel logo.
- blur/sharpness models classifier scores visual quality.
Combined with object recognition, and supported by image-processing models, XTM becomes a practical broadcast intelligence platform. Operators can verify, quantify on-screen brand, detect quality issues before they reach the viewer, while keeping all AI processing at the edge, without exporting full video streams or exposing internal methods.
