SintecMedia OnAir Tools
SintecMedia will be showing the Revenue and Inventory Management tool for realtime interactive reporting and graphical analysis, which gives users access to more information to inform decision making, and allows analysis at the individual channel level or across multiple channels.
Mulitcampaign Promo Optimization uses algorithms to optimize the placement of multiple promo campaigns according to the user's predefined goals, such as required audience, amount of promo airtime or number of spots. Streaming of video and data in parallel to regular events is possible with the eTV set of management tools. Using the tools, OnAir could schedule one or more additional streams during a sporting event, for example, enabling the viewer to switch cameras, view statistics or player profiles and watch side documentaries.

TC Electronic Loudness Control Software for DTV Products
TC Electronic has released version 1.60 software for the company's DB-4, DB-8 and P2 DTV audio processors. Designed to answer the age-old question "Why are the commercials so loud?", version 1.60 includes a new breakthrough technology called Grid Loudness Limiter. This technology looks at the "perceived" loudness of the incoming signal and takes appropriate action to adjust the audio level. Version 1.60 is available free for product owners as a download from the TC Electronic website.
Grid was developed in cooperation with broadcast organizations and academic communities and was the result of a yearlong investigation into measuring and controlling loudness rather than merely level. It can be used for both realtime transmission as well as server ingest and complements and automates loudness control in environments based on recent ITU recommendations. With Grid, broadcast engineers now have a tool they can use to achieve an overall perceived loudness target, as measured by meters like the Dolby LM100.
