PlayBox Technology Product Families
Automation
PlayBox Technology broadcast automation systems support all existing I/O interfaces, all video and audio standards, graphics and
compression formats. PlayBox Technology systems can be personalised to fulfil a wide range of extraordinary workflow requirements.
Unlike traditional automation solutions, PlayBox Technology embraces its own automation routines built into the dedicated software of
each server or workstation. Thus there is no need for an external control system and maintenance is limited to simple software upgrades.
The automation system has a scalable and modular architecture that enables broadcasters to configure their systems with dynamic
interfaces, as well as intelligent and customisable 'rules' that meet precise workflow requirements and eliminate repetitive and labour-
intensive functions.
Interactive CG, Graphics and Channel Branding
PlayBox Technology developed TitleBox, an interactive character generator and graphics system that can create, display and control
fascinating multi-zone screens with rolls, crawls, animations, clocks, station logos and more. TitleBox was designed for all types of
broadcasters and has a low price point that also makes it suitable for digital signage, internal information channels for hotels, schools,
corporations, retail businesses, shopping malls, churches, airports, holiday resorts, theme parks, etc. Its unprecedented level of interactive
control over the on-air CG objects turns TitleBox into a powerful tool, ideally suited for channel branding, music channels, live entertainment
programmes, presentations, sports events titling, etc.
Subtitling
SubtitlePlus is a WYSIWYG Multilanguage subtitling system that supports a variety of import and export formats. As well as many hardware
transport, timecode, video input and output devices it can be fully integrated with PlayBox SD/HD and DVB automation systems.
DVB Workflow
The DVB product line of PlayBox comes as a natural expansion of the highly successful PlayBox TV product line, into the world of IP
streaming and satellite connections. Our core DVB technologies bypass the need for the expensive external MPEG2 Transport Stream
encoders and multiplexers, by providing the users with a set of flexible and powerful tools to perform the encoding within PlayBox. This
news is of great importance to those involved with multi-channel playout, ASI commercial insertion, various streaming applications and the
transport of video over traditional computer networks. All these applications allow for logo and graphics insertion in the UDP/ASI stream.
The simplification and reduced cost of the processes which the PlayBox DVB product line introduces, will excite many progressive
broadcasters and the Telecommunications Industry.
MAM – Media Asset Management
The PlayBox Metus MAM media asset management system can be the heart of a small TV station or a large broadcast centre. It organizes
and manages the assets of single or multi-channel operations, as well as other supported content for the business operations of many
diverse organisations. PlayBox Metus MAM is available as a stand-alone solution or working with PlayBox Technology ingest, playout and
branding systems for all applications from production and post through to TV broadcasters and multi-channel playout centres.
News Room
NewsAir unites all types of media that make up today's fast moving news programmes. Combined with PlayBox Technology a system can
handle media and play it to air. NewsAir provides and systematises live and recorded news content including text, video, images, live
agency feeds, phone calls, CGs, etc. Within NewsAir people with different rights (administrators, reporters, directors, editors, etc.) can
upload or edit content, make graphics, write news, prompter text, create a news bulletin, then the data for the final rundown is automatically
sent to AirBox/TitleBox/prompters for on-air playout.
Digital Signage
PlayBox Digital Signage delivers targeted messages to specific locations at specific times with content and information displayed on
electronic screens. It drives all types of widely used displays controlled by a server. The content of individual screens or groups of displays
can be changed and remotely controlled via the Internet. A full range of content types can be used, from text and stills, to full-motion video
with audio. Some DS networks display TV-channel style content.
