Trusted by thousands of channels
PlayBox Technology is a UK-based software company specialising in broadcast, streaming, and media workflow solutions. Our flagship platform, Celebro, unifies ingest, media asset management, scheduling, playout, graphics, compliance, and multi-platform distribution within a single architecture.
Since 2004, we have helped broadcasters, OTT operators, and media service providers launch and operate channels more efficiently — without the complexity and cost of traditional broadcast infrastructure. Celebro deploys on-premise, in the cloud, or as a hybrid solution, giving organisations the flexibility to build workflows around their needs, not their vendor’s. Our systems are deployed in approximately 130 countries, with over 20,000 licenses sold, most of which continue to serve broadcasters worldwide.

GPU-accelerated video processing
Our GPU-accelerated processing pipeline handles real-time encode and decode at scale — delivering faster ingest, lower cloud compute bills, and the headroom to run more channels simultaneously. It replaces CPU-heavy workflows without changing how your team operates.
AI-powered automated quality control
AI quality control engine automatically detects black frames, audio silence, loudness violations, and aspect ratio errors across every channel you operate — in real time. What used to require manual checking across a bank of monitors now runs continuously in the background, flagging issues before they reach air.
AI-powered ad insertion (SCTE/VAST)
AI ad insertion analyses content in real time to identify the optimal moment for each break, feeding directly into your SCTE-35 and VAST delivery pipeline. The result is more natural ad placement, higher completion rates, and revenue that scales with your channel count — not your headcount.
AI content enrichment & metadata
AI content enrichment automatically generates metadata as media enters your library — tagging scenes, detecting faces, transcribing speech, and identifying content attributes without anyone lifting a finger. Every asset becomes instantly searchable and ready to schedule, reducing the manual cataloguing work that slows down large library operations and making your content work harder from the moment it arrives.
