The two companies aim to focus on solutions and development services for the media and entertainment industry
CONFERTIS AG and Celstream Technologies, a world-class provider of engineering services, have entered into an agreement aimed at providing technical solutions for customers in the media and entertainment industry. Domain segments span television, broadcast, telco and publishing.
Consulting and implementation services will play a significant role in future for customers focusing on their business models and market segments. The innovation cycles are getting shorter and products are undergoing fundamental changes in their business landscape, in addition to the entry of newer technologies that create unique challenges.
This cooperation targets faster time-to-market and solution realisation for customers in Europe. Both CONFERTIS and Celstream possess comprehensive know-how in the field of media and entertainment with complimentary expertise. CONFERTIS in Germany possesses outstanding expertise and vast experience in consulting, program management and process design. Celstream on the other hand, is an established engineering service company rendering offshore R&D services from its India centre.
“A shorter time-to-market and efficient realisation of solutions and products will play a decisive role in the media industry in future. To fulfil time and cost requirements, in most cases it makes sense to outsource product development to specialised providers. In addition the client gets valuable access to know-how and experience of the provider,” said Wilke Pfannkuch, CEO of CONFERTIS. “This arrangement with Celstream will take us a great step forward,” he added.
“This cooperation is a perfect match that strengthens the whole value chain, especially with Celstream´s technical expertise and CONFERTIS’ know-how and experience in consulting and implementation,” said Dr. Christian Steinhausen, Managing Director of CONFERTIS CONSULTING.
“Our engineering services and solutions combine technology expertise and unmatched domain understanding. In addition, our vast domain knowledge and engineering experience for media and entertainment span networks, codecs, video, audio and data solutions,” said Martin Tabery, Director European Operations at Celstream. “Our technological expertise has been harnessed to offer Celstream’s Solution Accelerators, a wide range of assets and near-ready ecosystems that enable technology companies to significantly reduce the time-to-market, increase customer satisfaction and achieve superior business results. We look forward to leverage our experience in development and engineering to support CONFERTIS.”
Both partners see major potential in this cooperation. Under the terms of the agreement, know-how and experience in this area are now to be bundled in order to leverage synergies and better utilize common resources.

AE2/RCU-DIS is the new data monitoring module for the AE2/S multi channel mainframe. It provides visibility of all data of Dolby, DolbyE and SDI signals, i.e. bandwidth, metadata, resolution, coding format or the number of channels. AE2/RCU-DIS also provides system information and can be configured on demand fulfilling the specific needs of the client and/or installation.
The display remote module has the standard format with 80 * 190 mm and is free locatable from the monitoring unit mainframe. For the push-buttons and the data encoder any arbitrary configuration is possible.
In general, the remote control units for the AE2 series (AE2/RCU-…) have a modular design. The modules can be installed up to 100 m away from the mainframe and allow multiple combinations of different 6 modules. In remote installations it is possible with different frames to adapt the units to the environment in 19” or Tektronix to the requirements of the workspace. The modules have high-end Lumitas keys for maximum reliability. The keys can be configured on demand. So it is possible to realise consistent operation concepts at different places.
