Likewise, the Content Congress continued on day two of CABSAT 2024, to bring together

professionals from the media, broadcast, and technology spaces to explore trends and ideas

that will influence how individuals create, connect, and monetise the content lifecycle. The
session enabled participants to stay current on the advancements within the changing media

landscape, understand cross-border and regional collaboration, as well as leverage the

growing content creation economy for new opportunities.

Grass Valley, a pioneer in live production solutions, announced that Saudi Arabia-based

Arabsat – a major global satellite operator that delivers over 700 TV and radio channels to

more than 80 countries – has chosen its AMPP SaaS platform as the foundation for a new
three-tiered suite of broadcast transmission services.

The new services are based on Playout X, an AMPP-based SaaS solution that will enable

Arabsat customers to broadcast quality signals in a much more flexible and efficient way.

This year, CABSAT is also launching exclusive Brand Ambassador programme that is open to
