São Paulo, Brazil, 5 August 2026 – At this year’s SET EXPO, PlayBox Neo will present recent innovations across its PlayBox Neo Suite and integrated range of broadcast media solutions. By showcasing a series of enhancements designed to make complex, multi-user environments more secure, better connected, and easier to manage at scale, PlayBox Neo will emphasize how broadcasters and media organisations are able to operate more efficiently in hybrid environments spanning across on-premises, cloud, and IP-based workflows.
Exhibiting as a partner exhibitor on the CIS Group stand 38A from 18 – 20 August, PlayBox Neo continues to maintain a visibly strong presence at SET EXPO – Latin America’s major media technology event. CIS Group is a leading distributor and digital media systems designer and integrator covering the Eastern US and Brazil. PlayBox Neo’s game-changing advancements on show will demonstrate the team’s dedication to helping customers stay ahead with forward-thinking workflows that bring even better value.
A notable upgrade to be shown for the first time at SET includes the role-based user management system, allowing administrators to define access to specific functions and toolsets within the PlayBox Neo Suite platform. This additional feature helps improve security, accountability, and daily workflow transparency in demanding production settings where multiple users, editors, and engineers operate at the same time.
Additionally, PlayBox Neo now supports integration with Active Directory via LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) with SSL encryption which enables organisations to manage user logins and permissions through their existing IT systems, rather than maintaining separate credentials. The benefits include simplified user management, alignment with enterprise-level IT standards, reinforced security, ever more vital as broadcast operations become part of bigger corporate networks.
Performance improvements include the optimization of the PlayBox Neo Multiviewer reducing bandwidth usage, impacting teams working in remote production or cloud environments, where bandwidth can be limited or costly. By lowering data demands without compromising video quality, the system enables more stable monitoring, faster response times, and lower operational overhead.
Furthermore, operations have been streamlined owing to enhancements to the PlayBox Neo ingest workflow. Media can now be automatically registered and made available for editing while being recorded, rather than waiting until the process is complete. This significantly reduces turnaround time, allowing teams to edit, produce, and deliver content much faster which is critical for the sports coverage and live news.
“As part of our ongoing commitment to the South American market, SET EXPO attendees can expect firsthand experience of the next generation of PlayBox Neo media solutions. Our technology is designed around our customer’s needs, and we continue to work on enhancing solutions that transform businesses to operate even more efficiently in complex media settings,” noted PlayBox Neo CEO and founder Pavlin Rahnev, “Designed for maximum flexibility, our products deliver seamless, high-performance broadcast operations by simplifying integration, boosting security, and making workflows easier at all levels.”
PlayBox Neo company representatives at SET will include CEO Pavlin Rahnev and Broadcast Engineer Plamen Chardakliev.
