[SatNews] New features and new products on display…

OASYS celebrates 20 years of pioneering IT-based automated playout solutions by unveiling some key new features at IBC 2011 on Stand 8.B38d. The new features on display include:
  • TimePlay – Using a unique combination of automatic event refresh on a playing event and time delay event synchronisation, a single operator can perform different local insertion on multiple systems, insert streams from multiple live sources, and create files on the fly for playout
  • DVB subtitling – as well as supporting Teletext and Open Sub-titles, OASYS now supports DVB and streaming outputs, enabling users to play subtitles directly out of the playout system
  • Audio Shuffling – this allows users to move the audio tracks between outputs depending on which language is required for which output, either from a schedule, metadata, or the Quicktime reference file
    •
Additional new features include multiple live inputs with selectable sources and up to four picture in picture; customizable AS-RUN logs; Evoxe integration; and multiple channels in one box, which enables clients on smaller budgets to have more than one playlist running in a single system. Enhancements to the OASYS modular system include:
  • QT reference file playout and file management
  • New file format support, including GFX files
  • Redundancy Manager automation, enhancing the ability to choose which channels are sacrificed when deciding on redundancy options
  • Ability to put 3D graphics and text on screen
    •
OASYS will show fully-featured live demonstrations for various broadcast scenarios, including a full playout solution running on a laptop computer.
