Techex Extends its Lead in Software-Defined Live Video at IBC 2026 with Native MXL and TAMS Integration, and Enhanced Sports Production
Techex will run several live MXL demonstrations with ecosystem partners, reinforcing its position as a leader in live video transport and transformation technology.
Bracknell, UK, 7th September 2026, Techex, a pioneering leader in live video workflows, will showcase its broadest software feature set to date at IBC 2026 (Stand 2.B45), extending its lead in software-defined live contribution, content transformation and distribution. The company's modular software-defined media platform, tx darwin, arrives at the show with native MXL and TAMS integration, enhanced and AI-driven Live Event Management and Consumer Multiview, and full bandwidth JPEG XS contribution over SRT with tx edge for compromise-free live sports production in the cloud.
On its stand, Techex will run several live MXL demonstrations with ecosystem partners, showing how tx darwin's native support for open, multi-vendor architectures is moving from broadcaster ambition into deployable, everyday practice.
“This is our broadest live capability set at any show to date, and it reflects the pace we're moving at as a company. From open architectures like MXL and TAMS to compromise-free sports production and smarter monetisation, we're giving broadcasters the tools to do more with less risk. IBC 2026 is where we show just how much ground Techex has covered, and where we're headed next.”
Scott Kewley, CEO of Techex
Compromise-Free Live Sports Production in the Cloud
For live sports, tx darwin and tx edge together support full bandwidth JPEG XS contribution over protocols such as SRT, making uncompromised, low-latency production genuinely achievable at scale in the cloud. Sport remains the toughest proving ground for live production, demanding scale, speed and reliability simultaneously, and Techex's approach ensures broadcasters no longer need to trade quality for cloud economics.
Also on show is Consumer Multiview, which enables live sports fans to follow multiple parallel events through the broadcaster's own platform. As a server-side solution that scales and flexes to match the transient nature of sports events, Consumer Multiview deepens viewer engagement and reduces subscriber churn, reaching every customer regardless of viewing device.
Open, Software Defined Architecture: MXL and TAMS
Techex is an active contributor to the open initiatives shaping the next generation of production. Through native MXL inputs, outputs and service discovery, tx darwin brings its full uncompressed processing toolkit, including resolution scaling, deinterlacing, HDR/SDR conversion, HTML5 graphics keying and audio handling, into multi-vendor cloud production, giving broadcasters best-of-breed software infrastructure without lock-in.
tx darwin also offers native TAMS integration, giving broadcasters vendor-agnostic access to production content without re-plumbing their existing systems.
