Magna Systems to Showcase Broadcast Workflow Solutions

Magna Systems and Engineering (Magna) will exhibit at the upcoming ABE Show 2026, taking place from 30–31 July at Carriageworks, Eveleigh, Sydney. On stands 42 and 43, Magna will showcase a complete broadcast workflow ecosystem spanning capture, live production, distribution and monitoring from key technology partners Arkona, Canara, EditShare, Manifold, Open Broadcast Systems (OBE), RTS, TAG Video Systems and Techex.

Magna Systems Group CEO Matthew Clemesha explained: “The ABE Show is a key moment for the A/NZ broadcast community. Every solution on our stands has been chosen because it solves real problems our clients face, whether migrating from SDI to IP, accelerating editorial workflows, reducing live latency or knowing with absolute confidence that your signal is clean. We are demonstrating how these technologies work together as an integrated ecosystem to help broadcasters build facilities that are more efficient, more reliable and ready for whatever comes next.”

Visitors will see live demonstrations of how these integrated solutions address the most pressing challenges currently facing broadcasters, including IP migration, ultra-low-latency live production, workflow collaboration, remote contribution, signal assurance and multi-format distribution.

The Arkona platform, orchestrated through the Blade Planner user interface, will demonstrate dense SDI-to-IP conversion with JPEG XS encoding and decoding, eliminating the guesswork from hybrid and full-IP migration.

Canara Lighting will showcase premium studio illumination, including LED Fresnel and panel fixtures alongside its FLX S24 console, reducing power and cooling costs without compromising broadcast-grade colour accuracy.

EditShare will demonstrate how it unifies post-production through shared storage and media asset management, removing the bottlenecks created by disconnected workstations and portable drives.

Manifold will deliver sub-frame-latency processing through FPGA-accelerated commercial off-the-shelf hardware, giving live sports and real-time productions uncompromising speed at a scalable cost.

Open Broadcast Systems (OBE) will demonstrate how it bridges uncompressed and compressed streams on standard IT hardware, with native support for ST 2110 and ST 2022-6, enabling low-latency edge contribution and REMI workflows without proprietary lock-in.

RTS’ NOMAD DECT wireless beltpack will deliver full 16-channel keypanel control with IP65 ruggedisation and seamless roaming, alongside the RVOC hybrid cloud intercom platform, which connects distributed crews through encrypted WebRTC from any internet-connected device.

TAG Video Systems will provide 360-degree, software-defined monitoring across uncompressed, compressed and OTT streams, turning reactive firefighting into proactive quality assurance.

Techex will demonstrate multi-format contribution encoding optimised for broadcast, streaming and social delivery from a single, adaptable pipeline.

For ABE attendees, Magna’s stands offer a rare opportunity to see these best-of-breed technologies operating as an integrated workflow rather than as isolated products. Engineers, CTOs and production managers can trace a signal from capture through production, monitoring and distribution, understanding exactly where operational gains lie and how each component interoperates.

“What excites me about this line-up,” added Manish Subramanian, Technical Lead at Magna, “is how each partner fills a critical gap in the broadcast chain. Arkona makes IP migration manageable. Manifold brings FPGA performance without proprietary lock-in. TAG gives engineers the visibility they have always needed. EditShare unifies workflows from ingest to archive. Canara transforms studio picture quality while cutting operating costs. OBE, RTS and Techex tie it all together with encoding, communications and distribution that adapt to any requirement. These are not theoretical concepts; we are demonstrating live signal paths that attendees can evaluate for their own facilities.”

With more than 50 years of systems integration experience, Magna’s team will be available across both days at ABE to advise on everything from greenfield builds and hybrid SDI/IP upgrades to cloud-assisted architectures.
