Techex, the UK-based expert in live video solutions over IP and cloud, will showcase its latest advances in software-defined broadcast technology at the Media Production & Technology Show (MPTS) on May 14–15, 2025, at Olympia London. Located at Stand A31, Techex will present powerful product demonstrations and strategic partnerships that are setting a new benchmark for agile, high-performance live media workflows across the broadcast and streaming sectors.
Driving IP and cloud innovation across the broadcast chain
With over 50 years of experience in the broadcast industry, Techex continues to lead the way in designing and delivering cloud-native, IP-based solutions that solve the complex challenges facing modern broadcasters and media companies. At MPTS 2025, Techex will showcase its partnership with TAG Video Systems to demonstrate end-to-end visibility and control across IP and cloud workflows, a critical requirement as the industry accelerates its transition to software-defined infrastructure. Visitors will have the opportunity to see how tx darwin and tx edge are supporting key areas such as remote production, dynamic affiliate distribution, and the replacement of legacy satellite and SDI-based infrastructure with flexible, secure and scalable alternatives built for the cloud.
End-to-end monitoring with TAG Video Systems
Techex’s long-standing partnership with TAG Video Systems will be a central focus at MPTS, showcasing real-time monitoring and quality assurance across IP-based contribution, production and distribution. As broadcasters navigate increasingly complex workflows, the integration between Techex and TAG gives them unprecedented visibility, enabling data-driven decisions and confident migration to agile, cloud-powered operations.
tx darwin: transforming cloud production workflows
tx darwin, Techex’s flagship microservice framework for live media processing, transport and monitoring, is purpose-built for hybrid and pure cloud workflows. At MPTS, Techex will demonstrate how tx darwin supports a wide range of use cases, from source switching and SCTE-35 graphics insertion in host broadcast environments to ad placement and affiliate stream customisation. Visitors will also see how tx darwin enables software-defined MCR capabilities in the cloud, as well as linear ingest, conformance, format manipulation, frame-rate conversion and PCM mixing, all through a highly flexible, scalable architecture.
tx edge: bridging live video across cloud and facility boundaries
tx edge extends the power of software-defined video by enabling secure, resilient gateway functionality between production facilities, the cloud, and other transformation stages. Visitors to MPTS can explore how tx edge delivers studio-quality contribution with JPEG XS over SRT, and how it supports high-performance NDI movement to and from the cloud with zero re-encoding, a critical feature for those looking to preserve quality and reduce latency in real-time workflows.
“Techex continues to lead the industry in cloud-based, software-defined broadcast solutions,” said Scott Kewley, CEO at Techex. “At MPTS 2025, we are excited to showcase how our partnership with TAG Video Systems and our flagship solutions, tx darwin and tx edge, are enabling broadcasters to deliver agile, scalable, and future-proof live video workflows that meet the growing demands of modern broadcasters, streaming platforms and sports-rights holders.”
Join Techex at the Media Technology Conference
Techex’s Russell Trafford-Jones will speak at the Media Technology Conference during MPTS 2025. His session, ‘Live Production Unleashed: Software-Defined Production & Cloud Workflows in Action’, takes place on Thursday 15 May, 15:45–16:15, and will explore the benefits and difficulties of software-defined workflows. With first-hand viewpoints on live production from Limitless Broadcast’s Claire Wilkie and Sky’s Jennifer Rumsey, Russell will be exploring how the work of the VSF and EBU is seeking to enable a next generation of live production. Delegates will gain insight into how to practically deploy cloud and software infrastructure and how to ensure your teams and organisation have the right mix of skills.
Gain a first-hand look at Techex’s work in the IBC 2025 Accelerator programme. Throughout Wednesday and Thursday at the Media Technology Conference, visitors can see a live demo showing Techex’s tx darwin interoperating with other vendors using the VSF’s Ground-Cloud-Cloud-Ground (GCCG) technology. A key stepping stone to best-of-breed software workflows for live production, Techex is strongly engaged with the Multi-Vendor Software Live Media Exchange project. The project brings together the EBU’s Dynamic Media Facility project with GCCG and aims to demonstrate a comprehensive multi-vendor software workflow at IBC using uncompressed video.
