PlayBox Technology
is launching new products at IBC2010 extending the scope of
the company’s fully integrated playout capabilities for
efficient and highly automated workflows.
NEW TrafficBox - Traffic Management
Targeted at broadcasters who need TV business management solutions,
TrafficBox includes all the features needed for programme
planning, advertising sales and long-term playlists scheduling.
It also enables the preparation of the physical material that
is presented on-air: the video, audio, text, graphics and
subtitles.
The traffic management system within TrafficBox is a client
/ server database application provided by Step2e. This allows
a virtually unlimited number of users to access the management
server where all relevant data can be entered, saved and modified.
A high level of integration with PlayBox Technology automation
systems allows both new and existing broadcasters to achieve
more efficient workflows.
It offers significant advantages in the overall management
of both single and multi-channel TV operations, such as allowing
the programme planning department to modify active rundowns
without the involvement of the MCR personnel; or reducing
the operator time required for everyday tasks, while eliminating
the chances of mistakes caused by human error.
NEW AdBox - Commercial Insertion Server
PlayBox Technology’s AdBox addresses the growing trend
for the local insertion of commercials and a significant demand
by multinational broadcasters for local content insertion
and localization. AdBox is a state-of-the-art SD / HD Commercial
Insertion and Content Localization Server contained in 1RU
compact cases with PSU and RAID protection included. It can
detect and decode virtually all types of triggers - SCTE 35
DTMF tone, audio DTMF tone or GPI.
Customers can choose if live feed-to-playlist switches are
performed internally or externally by controlling a router.
The local clips and playlists are remotely transferred via
FTP and the playlist order can be managed interactively, even
when the local commercials block is already on-air.
NEW EdgeBox - Remote Redundant Playout Server
The PlayBox Technology EdgeBox forms the centrepiece of the
company’s unattended automated remote playout solutions.
EdgeBox enables the full operation and monitoring of distant
broadcast playout using public internet as the link for all
content delivery, control and monitoring. Customisable to
fit user requirements, single and multi-channel operation,
as well as full equipment redundancy, are available.
Rather than offering only unbranded generic feeds, EdgeBox
can enable the complete localisation of content branding,
including commercials, station IDs, multilingual audio, subtitles,
graphics and even programme content. This makes possible low-cost
worldwide ‘local’ playout from any network operations
location.
NEW TimeShiftBox
PlayBox Technology is introducing TimeShiftBox for SDI video.
Originally developed in response to popular demand from existing
PlayBox customers, TimeShiftBox can delay video and audio
together by any amount from a few seconds to several days.
The package includes logo insertion and an optional full CG
package with interactive graphics that are internally keyed
over the output video. Operation is straightforward with a
main menu window that allows setting the delay.
TimeShiftBox also inherits useful monitoring features, such
as viewing the preview input and delayed output video, as
well as the audio level monitoring as already used in the
established AirBox playout server.
