Pebble Celebrates 25 Years Of Expertise In Playout Automation

Pebble, the leading automation, content management and integrated channel specialist, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and will be present at NAB Show (booth W2135, Las Vegas Convention Center, 6-9 April). This anniversary is even more meaningful as it aligns with television's centenary, marking 100 years since John Logie Baird's first demonstrations in 1925.

"The company's founders recognised that playout is mission critical, so the automation system has to be feature rich, secure and reliable," said Peter Mayhead, CEO of Pebble. "25 years on, we have developed a highly capable and flexible set of solutions, which we continue to implement with leading broadcasters worldwide."

Pebble specialises in enterprise-wide playout automation, designed to scale effortlessly from a single channel to the largest multi-service facility. Automation 2.0, the next generation of its highly flexible and feature-rich management software, provides seamless control over both modular playout architectures and the all-in-one Integrated Channel engine. Seamlessly supporting SDI, SMPTE ST2110 and NDI content flows, these technologies help broadcasters navigate through industry transitions.

Recognising that, increasingly, broadcasters and service providers are looking to work across multiple sites and hybrid operations, Pebble also offers Remote. This web-based monitoring and control environment gives secure monitoring and management of channels from inside or outside the normal transmission facilities.

Specialising exclusively in playout and media workflows, Pebble's 25 years of investment in innovation has resulted in powerful, flexible technology that adapts seamlessly to evolving broadcast needs. The solution is also highly resilient, and it's widely regarded as the most reliable playout technology in the industry. High levels of security are built into the software, and Pebble has been awarded the Cyber Essentials Certificate of Assurance.

"For 25 years, Pebble has been at the forefront of playout automation, providing broadcasters with the resilient, adaptable, and innovative technology they need," Mayhead said. "NAB has always been an important opportunity for us to discuss our solutions in detail with broadcasters. This year, as we celebrate this milestone, we want to showcase our continued leadership in playout automation and our commitment to innovation and product development. We look forward to engaging with the industry and strengthening these discussions at NAB 2025."
