INGEST - Media Recording

EasyCapture offers a wide range of ingest options. Content from conventional media, such as cameras, video tapes or live signal feeds can be captured and stored on the server in real time. The system supports non-destructive Mark-in and Mark-out of video clips, allowing simple and fast control of start and finish locations. The Meta-data Editing Tool uses XML technology to label and categorise clip content, and enables the support of complex combinations of Logos, Lower Thrids and Tickers-Crawls. Extensive use of Drag & Drop makes the User Interface intuitive and fast. Non-destructive content editing allows multiple versions to be created and broadcast in seconds. The optional Asset Media Database makes the creation of large content Archives simple and secure.

EDITING AND MIXING

mediatron TV Suite supports all common NLE editors, enabling the insertion of features, news reports and the production of trailers, ads and jingles. Simple drag & drop is usually all that is required to transfer the content between the mediatron DataManager and the NLE system. These powerful systems allow video sequences to be edited and mixed with titles and other effects. Additional Meta-data to support program planning and playout control of the video clips is added via the DataManager.
NLE Systems such as Avid Xpress DV, Avid Xpress Pro, Avid Media Composer, Avid Liquid, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Canopus Edius Pro and Sony Vegas are supported.

INTELLIGENT PROGRAM PLANNING

AirEdit XV is a powerful program planning tool that provides complete access to the broadcast process. The powerful drag & drop user interface means just a couple of mouse clicks are all that is needed to adjust clip timings, control Logos, animated Logos, Tickers, Stills, Slide Shows, Lower Thirds, Text Overlays, Clocks, Logo Cross Fades and other live content, and to send GPIO commands to external devices. Through the modern template based control the course of events can be predefined from a Super User or Administrator. AirEdit XV’s integrated preview facility allows the control and fine-cueing of content. A comprehensive User Rights-Management facility automatically controls access, creation, editing and deletion of controlled-rights content. AirEdit XV interfaces with all common traffic & billing, program and music planning systems. The AirEdit XV architecture comfortably supports single and multi-channel co-located and multi-location scenarios. It provides a modern, flexible program planning and content management environment without the need for special custom broadcast hardware.

FULLY AUTOMATED AND LIVE-ASSIST PLAYOUT

mediatron’s AirControl XV Broadcast Server is a robust 24/7 playout control system that supports both fully automated and live-assist operation. It supports single and multi-channel TV applications, regionalisation, the control of advertising content, IPTV and Mobil TV program playout. AirControl XV Broadcast Server can combine content from AirEdit’s XV playlists with various CG effects like: Logos, animated Logos, Stills, Slide Shows, Ticker-Crawls, Lower Thirds, Text Overlays, Clocks and Logo Cross Fade sources. It also provides control signals for external studio hardware such as CG, Logo Inserters and AV Live Signal Routers, via GPIO and RS 422/232 (Master & Slave-mode) interfaces. In stand-alone configuration, AirControl XV Broadcast Server can also be used for station program planning. The system is XML-based to enable a flexible and open architecture. It provides an intuitive and powerful drag & drop user interface, conduits for connections to 3rd party e-commerce, traffic systems and supports mediatron plug-in technology. Through this flexible architecture and the use of software-based video Codecs, mediatron’s TV Suite supports all current and future video, audio and grafic formats. As Web-based Broadcast Server AirControl XV can be operated on multiple locations with different playlists content over standard DSL connections (VPN). This avoiding the need for costly leased line or real time ATM connections and drastically simplifies IPTV and other Web-based broadcast scenarios.
