Our offering

Six pillars covering the full broadcast chain.

From ingest to on-air playout, through automation and graphics — one ecosystem, complete consistency across the chain.

01 — TV Playout Servers

Broadcast servers

Real-time Linux playout supporting MXF 4:2:2 HD, SD / HD / 4K UHD, XDCAM HD, AVC-Intra, ProRes, H.264 / H.265. SDI and IP outputs (SMPTE 2110, NDI) with multi-channel audio handling.

02 — Automation

Broadcast automation

Frame-accurate execution of editorial XML playlists. Primary and secondary events, GPI/GPO triggers, MOS integration for newsrooms, LTC / PTP synchronization.

03 — Graphics

Pixel-perfect graphics

Real-time graphics engine for logos, lower thirds, tickers, crawls, watermarks and animated overlays. Keyframes, offsets, opacity curves — down to the pixel.

04 — IP Broadcasting

IP & hybrid infrastructure

Progressive SDI → IP migration with support for SMPTE 2022-6, SMPTE 2110, NDI, SRT and RTMP. Cloud, hybrid and on-premise deployments.

05 — Monitoring

Supervision & monitoring

Real-time oversight of streams, servers, network links, latency and signal quality. Proactive alerts, centralized logging, customizable dashboards.

06 — Redundancy

Business continuity

N+1 architectures, active/passive mirroring, sub-second automatic failover, incremental backups and disaster recovery. Engineered for 99.99% availability.

Why SYFTEC

Six reasons broadcasters choose us.

Tailor-made, not off-the-shelf

We design solutions adapted to your workflows, branding and editorial constraints — not the other way around.

End-to-end mastery

From ingest to on-air playout, through automation and graphics. One single point of contact, complete consistency across the chain.

Real-time performance

Real-time Linux systems deliver ultra-low latency and uncompromising stability — essential for live broadcasting.

Optimized total cost

Standard x86 servers, no expensive proprietary hardware. Lower initial investment, reduced maintenance, greater scalability.

Future-proof architecture

Our systems evolve with broadcast standards — IP, 4K, AI, cloud — without disruptive technology shifts.

Field-proven support

A responsive team that understands the daily reality of master control rooms and the constraints of live operations.

Data & vision

The future of broadcasting runs on data and real-time intelligence.

Today's channels generate massive volumes of technical and editorial data: XML playlists, metadata, playout logs, audience analytics, graphics events. SYFTEC turns this into an operational asset — through intelligent automation, predictive analytics, workflow optimization, and readiness for tomorrow's use cases: generative AI for graphics, editorial recommendation, and augmented monitoring.

We partner with broadcasters who want to gain in reliability, agility and competitiveness.

Let's discuss your project.

Whether you're launching a new channel, modernizing an existing playout facility or migrating to IP, we design the solution that fits your needs.
