Software Defined Television in 2025: A Reality Check

Jan Weigner CTO of Cinegy

Remember all those breathless predictions about revolutionary broadcast technology changes in 2024? How’d that work out for you? As we enter 2025, instead of recycling the usual industry hype about groundbreaking innovations and paradigm shifts, let’s talk about what’s actually happening in broadcast technology – and more importantly, what it means for your business.

The reality is that 2025 won’t be about shiny new standards or formats. It will be about making existing technologies work smarter and more efficiently in an industry facing increasing pressure to do more with less. Between AI‑driven automation, ongoing industry consolidation, and the relentless push for operational efficiency, broadcasters need practical solutions – not promises.

Speaking of practical solutions, 2025 marks our first appearance at ISE (Integrated Systems Europe] – the world’s leading AV industry show. While we’ve spent over two decades developing robust solutions for broadcast and media & entertainment, we’re seeing increasing adoption of our technology in the professional AV space. Enterprise, government, houses of worship, hospitality, and defense customers are discovering what broadcasters have known for years: software‑defined solutions deliver more flexibility and better results than traditional hardware‑based approaches. It’s not about entering a new market – it’s about recognizing that the lines between broadcast and AV are blurring as both sectors move toward IP‑based infrastructures
