What We Do

Our solutions enable customers to speed up media preparation, streamline operations, improve on-air quality and help reduce overhead.

We speed up media preparation with unique workflows that remove processing bottlenecks and improve efficiencies. An example is our Browser module. It replaces the work of a non-linear editor and enables the user to quickly scrub through a file and easily add trim-in and trim-out points without the need to re-render the file.

We streamline operations with our BMX module and other automated workflows. BMX (BroadStream Media Exchange) automatically downloads files from PitchBlue and Pathfire, utilizes existing trim points and plays the file in its native format. Not having to transcode every file saves hundreds of man-hours per month.

How do we improve on-air quality? Our on-board, integrated graphics system uses multiple trigger types, both internal and external, to display eye-catching graphics for your viewers. Our FileChecker module ensures every file is playable and our Missing Media function lets operators know if upcoming programs in the playlist are missing from the server.

Reducing overhead varies from site-to-site but most customers find they need less hardware than was required with their previous playout system. That’s because we use software with optional modules to replace purpose-built devices. This saves money and reduces headaches because you no longer need a 3^rd party graphics box, an automation vendor, a video server, a master control switcher or as many encoders as you previously needed because all of these functions are managed by software. This means you can reduce the number of service contracts you maintain and the many support numbers required to maintain your station.

Next generation products like VoCaption, provides automated live captioning and subtitling at a fraction of the cost associated with human captioners. Using speech-to-text technology VoCaption excels at providing cost-effective and accurate subtitles without the coordination headaches. It’s always available for scheduled live events, emergency captioning or breaking news!
