arkona to Showcase IT and Enterprise Deployment at ISE
Frankfurt, Germany — 7 January 2026
arkona technologies GmbH, a developer of ultra-low-latency, high-density IP processing solutions, today announces its upcoming attendance at ISE (Booth 5.K800), where the company will demonstrate how its software-defined media infrastructure extends well beyond traditional broadcast environments. At the show, they will present a range of case studies which highlight how the same core technologies trusted by broadcasters are increasingly being adopted by some of the world’s largest IT-led, ProAV and enterprise technology companies.
One example will be that of a recent deployment at a client’s Los Angeles facility. There, arkona - together with technology partner manifold - delivered a highly complex IP system built around 24 AT300 Programmable Acceleration Cards, supporting extensive video and audio processing. The installation includes a manifold multiviewer and UDX processing with more than 250 unique input sources displayed across 54 UHD monitor outputs, alongside 64 simultaneous up, down and cross-conversion services. The project was delivered in conjunction with two industry-leading providers of switching and orchestration, with manifold multiviewers powered by FPGA accelerator cards across three servers.
Following the success of this deployment, the same architecture is now being replicated in the client’s London studio for podcast and content production. The project highlights why organisations outside the broadcast sector (or for whom broadcasting is only one part of their wider operation) are increasingly turning to arkona and manifold technologies, not only for their reputation and reliability, but for the rich feature set that accompanies their high-capacity processing solutions. This includes native support for 2160p at 23.98p, exceptionally high audio handling capacity, and built-in PTP and MSC capabilities for stage-box connectivity. These features, combined with the density and flexibility of the manifold multiviewer platform, were all decisive factors in meeting the demands of their LA client in a modern, IT-driven production environment.
Visitors to the stand will also be able to explore arkona’s full product range in person. This includes BLADE//runner, the company’s flagship software-defined platform for routing, processing and signal management across SDI and ST 2110 infrastructures. Also on display will be solutions from technology partner manifold, including manifold CLOUD, which extends ultra-low-latency multiviewing, conversion and processing into virtualised and distributed environments. Together, the two platforms demonstrate how broadcast-grade performance can be delivered in flexible architectures suited to enterprise, ProAV, gaming and IT-centric deployments.
Commenting on arkona’s presence at ISE, Rainer Sturm, CEO of arkona technologies GmbH, said: “ISE is an important opportunity for us to show that the challenges faced by broadcasters are increasingly shared by enterprise and IT organisations producing large volumes of high-quality content. Our solutions are designed to deliver the same reliable, predictable outputs regardless of source fluctuations, and regardless of whether they are deployed in a broadcast centre, a corporate studio or a global content hub”. He added: “Working with technology partner manifold, we are proud to see our platforms being adopted by some of the world’s largest and most demanding organisations. These deployments underline that arkona is no longer a niche broadcast specialist, but a trusted infrastructure provider for large-scale, IP-based media operations across multiple industries”.
