    LOS ANGELES --

    Xytech, creator of facility management platform MediaPulse, has launched a Broadcast Services Division to address the rapidly changing needs of global video transmission services. Industry expert Daniel Lynch, with Xytech since 2011, will lead the division.

    Xytech Broadcast Services will build upon the company's success in bringing holistic transmission and asset management solutions to the complex operations of facilities, studios and networks. The division will provide a technically advanced, modern solution delivering flexible, scalable and seamless software to operations facing increasingly intense content demands.

    "Today, the unprecedented volume of digital content continues to drive change," commented Xytech COO Greg Dolan. "This volume will grow exponentially for at least the immediate future. Successful transmission management must go beyond a feature-set to integrate with the key components of the ecosystem. We do not approach transmission management as a silo. We match a broad footprint of transmission-specific features to our message-based integration platform, Fuse – a full featured web interface – and our trademark configurability. This unified approach is the only way to succeed in today's world."

    For 30 years, Xytech has defined facility management to the industry, innovating the way operations are planned and executed while managing assets across the enterprise. As content generation continues its growth from smartphone journalists to live UHD events, Xytech took a thoughtful approach to relieve the impact of the changes challenging the transmission industry.

    Dolan noted, "Software defined networks move faster than yesterday's technology can manage. To maintain relevance requires us to innovate faster than our clients. Having Dan Lynch lead this effort is key to us. It's not the first time he and I have worked to better serve this market and we are both excited to bring Xytech's array of tools into specific focus."

    As VP of Broadcast Services, Lynch will drive the evolution of the platform. Lynch is well known in the industry for his groundbreaking work with the Associated Press. At AP, he served in crucial positions for over a decade. Lynch has led Xytech's Europe, Middle East and Africa Division for five years.

    Lynch commented, "From transmission architecture and SDN to high output satellites and fiber, the ecosystem is dynamic. It is our mission to provide a powerful platform compatible with the nature of today's applications. Xytech has the depth of experience to ensure the entire process is perfectly managed."

    "The tendency is to continuously add features to already wildly mature technology," said Dolan. "This is buggy whip thinking in the age of the automobile. That's simply not part of the Xytech mind set. We analyze the situation, look to our team of talented professionals and develop new approaches based upon the best technology currently available. Our engineering team is working on incorporating recent developments such as Network Function Virtualization to give our users access to all services in an elegant UX."

    Xytech works with leading companies in broadcasting, sports and production. The company's solutions enable financial accountability as well as operational and resource management. Lynch concluded, "Based on our expertise and three decades of service to the industry, we know this new division will disrupt the way the industry manages its operations."

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
