i-Player

Playout Solution (i-Player) is a solution built upon a client-server architecture that provides noticeable stability and usability advantages To allow an optimum CPU balancing in today's multi-core system, the server controls the video output while the client manages the playlist

Playout Solution (i-Player) provides fully automated or manually assisted playout of SD and HD channels, with user control from mouse, keyboard shortcuts control. SD/HD live sources and SD/HD video content in a range of codec formats can all be mixed for playout in the same playlist. Operators can cut and change the live playlist, even the event is currently on-air.

It commands a single architecture that can be easily grow to manage more than 1,000 channels. A powerful, configurable user interface maximizes efficiency, simplifies facility reconfiguration and enables to control large numbers of channels.

It is an automation system reflecting the needs of today and tomorrow. The no single point of failure redundancy of the architecture ensures ongoing stability, while the adaptability of our modular approach means that i-player is perfectly suited to bridge the switch to tomorrow’s multichannel content management and delivery environment.

Playout Solution system conveys trustworthy, frame-accurate control of multipart media distribution environments. It is an enterprise level automation solution designed to meet the demands of any high-capacity and dynamic broadcast Playout environment.

Centralized Operations :

i-player supports several centralization strategies, including distributed, centralized and edge playout. i-player has the flexibility and feature set to accommodate any centralized practice.

Scalability :

i-player manages large statistics and a wide variety of channels, playout devices and material management services, operating efficiently with maximum operator yield. It can scale to over 1,000 distribution channels within single control architecture.

Unlimited Layering :

All running objects are assorted and unify to each other in coincident, including animations. The more CPU Power, the more objects can be layered simultaneously. This ensures an on tap amount of object combinations and extraordinary visual variety.

Security Providence :

All running air contents is maintained with Digital Signature, so it’s not relevant to make the revenue of the content by any circumstances. The media files are verified by the client application before being accepted for playout

Comprehensive Alarms :

i-player provides clear information about any alarm that is triggered, allowing you to work toward fast error resolution. All system errors are logged for later analysis. i-player offer brief information about any schedule or error or competence that is elicit, allowing you to keep straight toward the information of all activities.

Backup management :

Using automatic or manual synchronisation, multiple Player systems can run together for backup purposes, but synchronisation can be done either way between pairs of machines, or to multiple backup machines if required.

Cost Effectiveness :

When configured for dual idleness, backup computers (either local or remote) continuously outline the main so that they can take over instantly if necessary without any effect on running schedules.
