Pebble Wins Award for Hybrid IP/SDI Playout Deployment at Videoland Taiwan
Pebble, in collaboration with Ideal Systems, deployed a 10-channel playout system for Videoland in Taiwan, featuring ST 2110 IP infrastructure at a primary site and SDI-based disaster recovery at a secondary site. This hybrid architecture integrates Pebble Automation and HTML5 graphics to modernize broadcast operations for cable and satellite distribution, an effort which earned Pebble recognition at the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting+ Awards 2026.
Key Takeaways
- Videoland's playout system combines ST 2110 IP infrastructure in its primary site with SDI disaster recovery at a secondary site.
- The deployment uses a triple-redundant 10+10+10 configuration across 10 channels for enhanced reliability.
- Pebble Automation and Pebble Integrated Channel support the 10+10 channel setup, with cross-system playlist synchronization.
- Advanced HTML5 graphics, NDI monitoring, and remote operation via Pebble Remote were part of the solution.
- Custom development included visible operator alerts for missed or de-scheduled events.
Why It Matters
This deployment signals a pragmatic trend in broadcast infrastructure modernization, where hybrid IP and SDI solutions are favored to balance new capabilities with operational stability. Broadcasters like Videoland are opting for phased transitions, leveraging IP for primary functions while retaining proven SDI for critical disaster recovery, rather than pursuing full rip-and-replace strategies. This approach, recognized by industry awards, highlights the critical need for integration flexibility and workflow automation in multi-channel environments. Watch for other providers to increasingly offer similar hybrid solutions as broadcasters seek to de-risk their transitions to IP.
