Broadcast Industry Veteran Paul Dingwitz To Speak At Sports Video Group’s FutureSport 2013

Dallas, TX – May 5, 2013 – Paul Dingwitz, the Chief Technology Officer for ONE Media Corp, parent company of ONE CONNXT (OC), ONE World Sports (OWS), America ONE Sports and America ONE, will speak at the Sports Video Group’s FutureSport 2013 Summit on May 15, 2013 at the New York Hilton. Dingwitz led his team to develop the award winning ONE CONNXT broadcast content delivery technology.

ONE CONNXT provides high quality live and recorded video programming virtually anywhere in the world with significant savings over satellite or fiber. Via ONE CONNXT, video can be delivered either point to point or point to multipoint utilizing proprietary IP solutions.

“Paul has become a sought after presenter/speaker this past year for audiences in Amsterdam, Dubai, Rome, Amman, Paris, Tokyo and Mexico in addition to here in the States. As the architect of the ONE CONNXT services, Paul has envisioned and crafted one of the most significant cost saving developments in broadcast quality HD and SD video transport in recent years and he is instrumental to its continued growth and success,” said Dave Almstead, CEO of ONE Media. “He and his team continue to enhance features of ONE CONNXT’s capabilities and fully monitored services through client-friendly innovations such as the OC Cloud, the OC Virtual Switch and the newly released OC portable laptop encoder. In today’s broadcast environment, ONE CONNXT’s high quality, HD video transport capabilities at significant savings over other transport methods, continues to be attractive to clients worldwide.”

“I’m looking forward to being on the panel and sharing our portable technology and other services which simplify sports and other broadcasting by making it more efficient,” said Dingwitz. “The business of bringing live events to air has been fraught with a choice between using high cost, albeit reliable methods of delivery, or lower cost, but often unreliable alternative methods of broadcast technology. That changed with ONE CONNXT. Now we can bring live events into living rooms around the world while maintaining programmers’ expectations for high quality video and reliability, allowing producers to expand their distribution, get more eyes on their events and increase their profit margin.”

OC Cloud allows for regional time shifting and anytime playback capability in multiple time zones. The Virtual Switch is a simplified interface for controlling encoders and decoders from anywhere in the world. The latest service enhancement, the travel-friendly OC portable laptop encoder offers producers the ultimate piece of mobile broadcast technology.

ONE CONNXT Portable Solution Now Available

Las Vegas, NV – April 7, 2013 – ONE CONNXT, an award-winning leader in broadcast delivery, has introduced a new portable solution that makes it easy to broadcast video on the fly.

The new solution takes portability to the extreme with a powerful, portable laptop encoder. There is no need for rack space. The laptop is so small and flexible that it can fit into a backpack allowing maximum ease and mobility. It is much more cost effective saving on unit transport costs and is simple to set up. ONE CONNXT has also streamlined the decoder unit down to 2 rack space units.

ONE CONNXT’s new portable solution successfully debuted to broadcast the Rencontre Annuelle Des Musulmans De France from Paris to the Middle East and Europe.

According to Fadi Kahhaleh, Lead Software Developer for ONE CONNXT, “We had to cover multiple events at different locations. ONE CONNXT’s laptop encoders made the process so simple to set up in each case. It was never a problem to move an encoder to the next event and the cost was well within the client’s budget. In fact, we saved the client about 75% in cost versus their customary satellite solution.” He added, “The new system offers the same great features as our standard ONE CONNXT system, but in a compact size that is perfect on the road. It is a great advantage to broadcasters who need to move equipment around the world despite tight budget constraints, especially when they have to go into areas that are infrastructure challenged.”

Broadcasters wishing to see the new ONE CONNXT portable solutions during NAB can arrange for a demo by contacting Mark Lobwein, Head of Sales for ONE CONNXT, at sales@oneconnxt.com.

ONE CONNXT was created by broadcasters for broadcasters. Unlike most other systems, ONE CONNXT was designed to meet or exceed broadcast standards and offers quality and reliability comparable to traditional broadcast for a much lower cost.

ONE CONNXT Introduces Virtual Switch Interface

Dallas, TX – April 3, 2013 – ONE CONNXT, an award-winning leader in broadcast delivery, has announced a new virtual switch interface. The switch allows clients to authorize or deauthorize encoders and decoders anywhere around the world using a single simple software interface.

“We used to have to have a physical presence at each location, at the encoder or the decoder, to turn it off or on,” according to Mustafa Tell, general manager of Arab Radio & Television Broadcasting Operations. “The beauty of the new ONE CONNXT Switch is that it allows one person to function as a master control, even from on the road, to enable our assets to send content between points around the world that house our equipment without needing to have anyone on-site.”

“The ONE CONNXT Switch is so easy to use,” added Paul Dingwitz, CTO of ONE Media Corp. “We put the control right at our client’s fingertips. Using the interface, they simply click on the encoder that they are enabling and drag a path to the decoder or decoders for their content’s destination. It’s just as simple to disable a connection. Plus, a client can easily check on their connections with a real time view of the interface easily available at their fingertips. With the ONE CONNXT virtual switch, clients are in complete control of their content’s distribution.”

ONE CONNXT Adds Yomiuri Giants to Live Sports Delivery Roster

Dallas, TX – April 2, 2013 – ONE CONNXT, an award-winning leader in broadcast delivery, will transport 72 Yomiuri Giants’ games to North America this baseball season. ONE CONNXT has already shown its ability to deliver flawless transmission of live sporting events such as Asian pro soccer, golf’s Emirates Australian Open and the 2012 Enjoy Jakarta Indonesia Open golf tournament.

“We take great pride in delivering the finest international sports and are thrilled to be selected to transport the Yomiuri Giants, Japan’s most popular baseball team,” said Dave Almstead, CEO of ONE Media Corp, the parent company of ONE CONNXT.

According to Paul Dingwitz, CTO of ONE Media Corp, “ONE CONNXT is perfect for live sports coverage. In addition to being able to meet or exceed U.S. domestic and international broadcast delivery standards, ONE CONNXT’s broadcast quality is a fraction of the cost of traditional broadcast methods.”

The Yomiuri Giants are Japan’s most successful baseball team. They are the current Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) champion and holder of 22 NBP Championship titles. Known as “The New York Yankees of Japan,” the Giants are Japan’s oldest and most popular baseball team. ONE CONNXT will deliver upwards of three Giants games per week to North America during its regular season on primetime. The games will be available on the ONE World Sports network, a sister company of ONE CONNXT.

There are many parallels between Japan’s NPB and the US Major League Baseball. NPB mirrors the US Major League Baseball season and rules. Many NPB players have crossed over to play in the MLB. Ten MLB teams currently include key players from the NPB on their rosters. MLB stars emerging from the Giants’ roster have included nine-time All-Star and 2009 World Series Most Valuable Player Hideki Matsui, All-Star Hideki Okajima and the Koji Uehara from the Boston Red Sox. Similarly, there have been MLB players who then played for the NPB including Davey Johnson, current manager of the Washington Nationals and 2012 National League Manager of the Year, New York Yankees star outfielder, Roy White and more.

CABSAT 2013 Chosen For Debut Of ONE CONNXT Exhibition

Dallas, TX – February 6, 2013 – ONE CONNXT, an award winning leader in broadcast delivery, has chosen CABSAT 2013 to debut their first official exhibition. CABSAT is the Middle East and Africa’s largest broadcast and satellite technical event. Show attendees will be able to view live demonstrations of ONE CONNXT and learn how the system helps them be in control of their content.

ONE CONNXT live demos will show broadcasters how to deliver content with plug and play simplicity via a custom web-scheduling portal. Cloud services provide broadcasters an ultimate video storage system that allows regional time shifting with any time playback capability. ONE CONNXT differs from other systems because it was created by the broadcasters at ONE Media Corp for broadcasters. ONE CONNXT was designed to meet or exceed broadcast standards offering quality and reliability comparable to traditional broadcast. The ONE CONNXT technology is an improvement over traditional broadcast methods for parts of the world like the Middle East where infrastructure can be challenging. It uses a proprietary conditional access system with throughput optimization that cleans up Internet connections and ensures global reach.

Another huge advantage to the ONE CONNXT system, is that broadcasters can move content independent of packagers or playout facilities. Broadcasters keep complete control of their expensively produced product lessening the risk for piracy. It also allows broadcasters to optimize content for their customer base and eliminate costly middlemen.

“We’ve spent a great deal of time and money creating content,” said Mustafa Tell, GM of Broadcast Operations at ART “ONE CONNXT puts us back in full control of our content by allowing us to deliver specifically to our customers and ensuring we know exactly where our content is at all times. We can count on it to be reliable and reach our base across the world.”

“It’s never been so easy for content providers to control their own destiny,” according to Mark Lobwein, Head of Global Sales for ONE CONNXT. “ONE CONNXT allows broadcasters to pinpoint exactly where they transmit content and select who receives it. Traditional satellite footprints force you to blanket an entire region to deliver to one or two operators. With the ONE CONNXT solution you can deliver directly to each operator regardless of their location, whether they are in down under Australia, at the media hub of Jordan, or in Hollywood. You control what operator gets your content and when. It’s never been so easy to reach your customers without risking your content. With ONE CONNXT, your content is always under control.”

Please stop by the ONE CONNXT booth Hall 3, Stand #314 of CABSAT to view a demonstration of the system. Contact mark@www.oneconnxt.com.com to set up a private demo.

Middle Eastern Channels Get Back On Air with the Help of ONE CONNXT after Satellite Change Leaves Channels in the Dark

Dallas, TX – December 5, 2012– On Sunday, December 2, 2012, NileSat 101 changed its orbital position, affecting channels on the satellite that transmit content to Europe.   Due to the change, several Middle Eastern channels lost their signals and were dark for over 24 hours.  During this crucial time, ONE CONNXT assisted its full-time and ad-hoc broadcast customers with a technical solution via proprietary technology that insures delivery to locations outside of NileSat 101’s altered footprint.

ONE CONNXT provides a total solution for both primary and backup feeds, with complete flexibility for all platforms. Whether a broadcaster is sending a live feed from a sporting event, backing up an entire network, or simply sending service from a hard to reach location, ONE CONNXT always has you covered.”
