Couldn’t catch us at IBC? Or simply want to get a quick recap? In this blog post, we’ll do just that: summarize the innovations that sparked conversations at our booth.
Crowded booth at IBC 2025. Our team showcased the latest innovations to the DataMiner xOps platform for broadcast and media.
MediaOps.PLAN continues to wow
In the year following its official release, MediaOps was awarded 3 industry awards for its groundbreaking integration of media and ICT. Today, MediaOps is rapidly becoming the reference foundation for dynamic media operations, already trusted and deployed by global sports streaming giants, national broadcasters, and media service providers.
We’re continually adding and enhancing features across the entire suite. MediaOps.PLAN’s latest release demonstrates this ongoing innovation with new capabilities for operational teams.
Deploy MediaOps.PLAN before your coffee gets cold
One of the major milestones achieved earlier this year was the introduction of seamless deployment from the DataMiner Catalog. MediaOps.PLAN can now be installed on cloud-connected DataMiner Systems with just one click—reducing the time to deployment from hours to mere minutes.
IBC sneak peeks
IBC also provided an ideal opportunity to showcase some exciting features in development and engage with users about their potential impact.
• This includes a new satellite transponder scheduling UI, enabling operators to effortlessly book capacity slots without risking bandwidth conflicts.
• We also previewed AI-driven services for automatically extracting booking details from documents such as emails or PDFs, along with integrations into facility and asset management applications, and a service ordering and management suite.

MediaOps.LIVE and the brand-new Contribution Cockpit app
IBC marked the first public showcase of our comprehensive LIVE capabilities—particularly timely given the industry’s current challenges.
Operators today are grappling with increasingly complex hybrid architectures that span on-premises facilities, edge computing nodes, and public cloud resources, all while maintaining the low-latency, high-reliability standards that live broadcast demands.
During our booth demonstrations, visitors consistently expressed relief at seeing these complex, multi-vendor workflows managed through a single, unified interface. Our Contribution Cockpit app, already deployed by major broadcasters like RTBF, drew particular attention for its ability to streamline what has traditionally been a fragmented process.
The new Contribution Cockpit app explained.
AI in media, from hype to reality
AI was undeniably the talk of the show floor—impossible to ignore. Yet through conversations, a clear pattern emerged: while media companies recognize AI’s potential, many struggle with the practical challenges of setup, integration, and providing meaningful context to LLMs.
The upcoming DataMiner AI Assistant combines instant LLM access with deep integration across your operational ecosystem.
Our upcoming DataMiner AI Assistant appeared to hit exactly the right note. Spanning live data, historical insights, operational workflows, and business logic, it transforms generic AI capabilities into targeted, high-impact intelligence personalized for each operator. The magic lies in combining instant LLM access with deep integration across your operational ecosystem, delivering actionable insights that work from the moment you deploy.
The excitement we saw at IBC has us moving full speed ahead. Keep your eyes open for any updates.
