Fruits of a collaboration between software integrator and developer x-dream-media and media processing developer Nablet are being shown for the first time at IBC2025.
X-dream-media uses Nablet mediaEngine as the default and core processing engine within its new product line, x-dream Media Suite. The company is debuting a file transcoder, xTranscode, and file ingest tool, xIngest.
Hoping to target new customers at IBC, the company aims to broaden its industry and territory reach.
Stefan Pfütze, Managing Director at x-dream-media, said: “I’m super-happy to launch the first generation of our Media Suite, partly based on Nablet’s mediaEngine. We’re very proud of this partnership as it allows us to offer some very interesting new products, with even more to come. We’re looking forward to meeting our existing customers as well as many new ones during the show.”
