NAB Show: Aveco Celebrates 30 Years As Automation, Playout & Asset Management Supplier

Aveco, an independent automation provider, will display what 30 years of automation innovation can do for you, at the 2022 NAB Show (April 23-27 in Las Vegas) in booth N1421.

Founded on Feb. 18, 1992, Aveco has grown from its five enthusiastic engineers from the Scientific Research Institute of Television and Broadcasting in Prague to a company with customers and offices throughout the world.

The company said: “During our 30 years, Aveco has become synonymous with legendary reliability and the openness of our systems. Aveco has the industry’s largest library of interfaces and implemented APIs, maintaining working relationships with all industry manufacturers — successfully building automation platforms with unprecedented reliability and scalability for hundreds of broadcasters.

“Our deployments range from some of the industry’s largest multi-channel, multi-site operations — such as India’s ETV Bharat’s revolutionary automation and media asset management system supporting 5,000 reporters, 24 news studios and 24 full time news channels, in 13 languages — to small standalone systems and from complete end-to-end production and playout facilities to individual products.”

Thirty years has seen Aveco receive numerous industry awards stemming from constant innovation. These include the 2019 IBC Innovation Award for our work with ETV Bharat, Best of Show awards at both NAB and IBC, and, as a proud and active member of the MOS Protocol Group, Aveco shared in a Technology & Engineering Emmy Award.

“Since our humble beginnings with our motto ‘Let’s try!’, we’ve seen incredible changes in industry and technology,” said Pavel Potuzak, Aveco CEO. “Today, our project with Televisa in Mexico would have been unthinkable when Aveco was formed. Think about it … fully redundant master control with frame-by-frame disaster recovery for 80 TV channels located on-prem and in the cloud.”

“From tape to servers to the cloud, our motto has changed with the industry as well to ‘Let’s Talk Automation!’ to better reflect our focus,” Potuzak said. “With our vision of ‘Create — Manage — Deliver’, we provide media companies worldwide with our news/studio production automation, media asset management and playout solutions – on-prem, in the cloud and in hybrid architectures. We graciously thank our more than 300 customers worldwide that have helped us grow from a small group of friends in the Czech Republic to an international company with ten offices worldwide.”
