Exhibition Report
Asia Tech x Singapore — the region's premier convergence of broadcast, communications, satellite, and AI technology.
Broadcast, satellite, AI — Asia's most influential technology gathering, all under one roof.
Organised by IMDA and Informa, ATxSG 2026 brought together industry leaders, engineers, and government representatives from across the globe under six specialised tracks: BroadcastAsia, CommunicAsia, SatelliteAsia, TechXLR8 Asia, and The AI Summit Singapore.
Village Island exhibited in the BroadcastAsia zone, conducting live product demonstrations and meeting with customers and partners from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
The latest Dektec lineup was exhibited with a focus on IP transport and broadcast signal processing. The PCIe NIC cards DTA-2125 (ASI/SDI I/O) and DTA-2110 (10GbE network card) anchored the display, showcasing end-to-end coverage from IP transmission through broadcast signal handling. Additional SDI/ASI cards (DTA-2178, DTA-2172) and the DVB-T/C/S modulator/demodulator card DTA-2117 demonstrated broad format support.
Live demonstrations with StreamXpress (TS stream player) and StreamXpert (TS analyser) attracted sustained interest — visitors could observe PID filtering, PCR/PAT/PMT analysis, and real-time error detection applied to live transport streams.
Using a DVB-S2 signal as the input source, the Decimator D4 was demonstrated for real-time multiviewer monitoring. Its compact form factor combined with comprehensive signal analysis capability drew consistent interest from visiting broadcast engineers.
The CyanView CIO (Camera Interface Object) was connected to a PROTON CAM — one of the world's smallest broadcast cameras at 28×28mm, 24g, with SDI output — and controlled remotely via the RCP-200. Aperture, gain, and white balance were adjusted live from the RCP, demonstrating a workflow that was previously impractical for cameras of this form factor.
The ability to bring full broadcast shading capability to ultra-compact cameras in a simple system architecture resonated strongly with visitors exploring drone, robotic, and remote production applications.
Village Island's own AI100 and VICO-4L-2110 were combined in a closed-loop ST 2110 evaluation configuration: the AI100 signal generator output ST 2110-20 test patterns; the VICO-4L-2110 decapsulated the IP stream to SDI; the SDI signal was returned to AI100 for quality analysis. Error injection was added to the loop to verify VICO-4L-2110 fault detection and logging behaviour under degraded conditions.
This generator–analyser–converter workflow demonstrated complete IP infrastructure validation within a single, cohesive system — a configuration that attracted significant interest from IP-transition engineers and broadcast equipment manufacturers.
The Sencore SCP2100 encoded SDI and HDMI sources to SRT streams, which the Impulse 300D decoded for monitoring — a complete low-latency video transport workflow over internet connections, targeting live production and remote production applications.
For the PlexusAV demonstration, the P-AVN-4 IPMX transceiver encoded HDMI to JPEG-XS compressed IPMX streams and decoded on the receive side. The open-standard IPMX implementation delivered low-latency, high-quality AV-over-IP transmission that drew sustained attention from AV system integrators and broadcast professionals.
SPAIQ was demonstrated with a side-by-side real-time comparison of processed versus unprocessed video under identical encoding conditions. The deep learning algorithm's restoration of compression artefacts and degraded imagery was visually compelling and immediately comprehensible.
The capability to maintain broadcast-quality output while reducing bandwidth requirements by up to 50% drew particularly strong interest from broadcasters and content delivery operators actively evaluating distribution cost reduction.
The BarnColor series — high-reliability, zero-jitter long-distance transmission boxes leveraging SFP optical interfaces — was presented with hardware on display. The range spans 4ch 3G-SDI (BarnColor 4x3G-SDI), 4K transport (BarnColor 4x12G-SDI), IP/PoE networking (BarnColor 4xEthPoE), and flexible SFP interface configurations (BarnColor 4xSFP-FLEX).
Compact, straightforward design delivering high-quality optical transmission at accessible cost points resonated well with system integrators seeking reliable infrastructure for long-haul signal distribution.
NHK Technologies exhibited at the Village Island booth, demonstrating Auracast™, the Bluetooth LE Audio broadcast audio technology. A single transmitter simultaneously delivered audio to an unlimited number of receivers — a fundamental shift from conventional point-to-point wireless audio architecture.
Potential applications include on-set audio returns in broadcast production environments and multi-language audio distribution in live event venues. The practical demonstration generated considerable attention among broadcast and live event professionals.
ATxSG 2026 provided a valuable platform to present our broadcast and communications infrastructure portfolio directly to customers and partners throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Consolidating live demonstrations of Dektec, CyanView, AI100, Sencore, PlexusAV, SmallPixels, and Barnfind Technologies into a single booth — covering signal analysis, IP transport, camera control, AI video enhancement, and optical transmission — enabled a cohesive representation of solutions addressing the full spectrum of modern broadcast challenges.
The guest exhibition by NHK Technologies further reinforced the booth as a destination for broadcast technology at the frontier. We will be returning to ATxSG in 2027 and look forward to welcoming you.
