Digital Rapids has new versions of their Digital Rapids Transcode Manager automated, distributed transcoding software and the Digital Rapids Broadcast Manager multi-encoder management software. The Digital Rapids Transcode Manager software provides superior performance, quality, scalability and automation for high-volume, multi-format transcoding. A new, automated ‘commercial black’ removal feature in Transcode Manager 1.5 automatically detects and skips over blank sections of the source content originally intended for television advertising insertion. The results are seamless, transcoded outputs for VOD, multi-platform distribution, archive and other non-television applications without the need for time-consuming manual editing. Version 1.5 also adds audio masking, extended clip list functionality for combining multiple distinct clips, and a new user interface style. The Digital Rapids Broadcast Manager software provides centralized management, scheduling, monitoring and fault tolerance for multiple live encoders. Version 1.5 of Broadcast Manager expands the range of supported third-party video routers for automated management of incoming sources. Broadcast Manager can now control routers from Evertz and Nevion in addition to existing Harris router support. Broadcast Manager can automatically switch upstream video routers to user-selected input sources for scheduled encodes and re-route input signals as necessary during failover to backup encoders.
Pilat Media Global plc [AIM: PGB] has announced that, as of July, its IBMS (Integrated Broadcast Management System) and MediaPro airtime sales system have achieved deployment by 1,100 media channels in 17 European, Middle Eastern, and African (EMEA) countries. Within those countries, Pilat Media‘s products are actively managing programming, media, rights, ad sales and campaigns, traffic, and billing operations. Momentum in the EMEA region for the company’s products has been steadily building since Pilat Media signed its first European customer, BSkyB, in 1996. Since then, EMEA has continued to play a key role in Pilat Media’s growth, culminating in a blue-chip customer base that includes Discovery International, Chellomedia, SABC, BBC World News, and Sky Italia. They are serviced and supported by the company’s headquarters in London and EMEA offices in Amsterdam and Israel. The importance of the EMEA region is further reflected by the fact that the company’s international customer conference (PMCC) is held each year in Amsterdam to coincide with IBC. Employing a scalable architecture based on a centralized metadata repository, Pilat Media’s flagship IBMS platform empowers these media enterprises to grow their business operations efficiently and cost-effectively — and respond to market demands by integrating new business processes for video-on-demand, multiplatform rights management, and advanced advertising. IBMS also helps improve business performance by enabling various business parameters like program costs and sales revenue to be aggregated and analyzed in order to generate actionable business intelligence.
