Mobile Viewpoint to showcase Artificial Intelligence-driven production and storage solutions at NAB 2018
MUMBAI: Mobile Viewpoint, a leader in IP contribution solutions, will use NAB to showcase three new products that use Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) to automate low-cost delivery of content from remote locations, and improve efficiency of content indexing, storage, and search. In addition, Mobile Viewpoint will also exhibit its broader range of IP contribution solutions at the event, which takes place in Las Vegas, 9th-12th April 2018.
Artificial Intelligence is the subject of much industry hype but is now maturing to feature in practical applications. Mobile Viewpoint is incorporating AI capabilities into two new products that will allow smaller broadcasters and brand owners to automate live content production and delivery without having to invest in costly camera crews, production facilities and distribution platforms. They are targeted at sports stadia and other live events, including studio and field news production.
In addition, Mobile Viewpoint will also launch a new Smart storage solution that uses AI for voice, object and speech recognition to enhance video content indexing, logging and search.. Details for all three products will be announced in late March.
Mobile Viewpoint’s solutions meet the broadcasters’ requirements for fast, simple and cost-efficient content contribution as they adapt their strategies to meet the rapid rise in online content consumption. Alongside its new AI-based solutions, Mobile Viewpoint will also exhibit its complete Multicam Wireless IP transmission portfolio at NAB, which includes the WMT TerraLink-4C Multicam rack mount bonded transmitter, and the WMT AirLink H.265-enabled encoder backpack device. Both transmitters feature multiple (2-4) H.265- encoders and 8 channel audio, enabling multicamera, OB and 360 productions that can be remotely controlled.
Mobile Viewpoint will also showcase the EyeLink wearable 4G action camera, and demonstrate LinkMatrix, an online dashboard that allows users to manage their complete live IP-based production workflow. LinkMatrix provides a clear overview of all live feeds from the field, and turns them into real online TV channels by creating playlists, adding logos and graphics, advertising insertion, and pre-roll. Content can then be published live on any social media platform or CDN instantly.
Finally, and following a strategic OEM agreement reached in February, Mobile Viewpoint will also demonstrate its IP-based multicamera transmission solutions with CP Communications, a provider of live event broadcast production solutions in the USA. These solutions are used by CP Communications to produce live coverage of sports events – large and small – such as the New York Marathon and college football games. CP Communications’ customers include MLB Network, IMG, and New York Road Runners’ (NYRR).
Mobile Viewpoint, CEO, Michel Bais said: “As the industry continues to adapt to new consumption habits and a thirst for live content grows, broadcasters must adapt to new ways of working. We are also adapting our solutions to meet those needs: artificial intelligence will bring new and exciting capabilities to the next generation of content solutions, and we’re delighted to be able to showcase our own AI products at NAB this year. These will add to our existing, strong line-up of mobile content contribution solutions, already in use globally with customers such as BBC News and Sky Sports..”

JioStar revenue hits Rs 9,784 crore as cricket fuels 22 per cent growth
A surge in digital viewership and sports dominance fuels a blockbuster quarter for the media giant
MUMBAI: JioStar is batting on a flat pitch. The media titan’s fourth-quarter results for the financial year 2026 reveal a business scaling new heights, propelled by an unprecedented appetite for premium sports and digital-first storytelling.
Gross revenue for the quarter soared by 22.15 per cent to Rs 9,784 crore, up from Rs 8,010 crore in the third quarter. Operationally, the momentum was equally strong; revenue from operations climbed 21 per cent to Rs 8,372 crore. These figures underscore the firm’s successful integration following the Reliance and Disney merger, creating a dominant force in the Indian market.
The annual performance has been nothing short of a spectacle. Full-year gross revenue reached a massive Rs 36,248 crore, while annual profit after tax hit Rs 3,210 crore. This rapid expansion reflects JioStar’s ability to capture and monetise the massive growth in India’s media consumption.
Cricket proved to be the ultimate growth engine. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 and TATA IPL 2026 delivered “record-breaking viewership” across both television and digital screens. The World Cup final alone drew a global peak concurrency of 72.5 million on JioHotstar, cementing its status as the nation’s premier streaming destination. On television, JioStar maintained a commanding 34.2 per cent viewership share, reaching a staggering 810 million viewers nationwide.
The digital numbers were just as impressive. JioHotstar averaged 500 million monthly active users, driven by consistent subscriber growth and innovative AI-led content discovery tools. These advancements are ensuring that JioStar remains at the cutting edge of the global “Race for Attention.”
With a firm grip on the country’s most valuable sporting rights and a rapidly growing digital footprint, JioStar is perfectly positioned for the future. It has built the ultimate content powerhouse—one that is ready to dominate the Indian living room for years to come.
