SINGAPORE – Ideal Systems Singapore has announced that Singtel TV has selected its SoftCast Technology platform for a turnkey multi-channel playout diversity system for broadcast business continuity planning.
Multiple SoftCast modules are incorporated into Singtel’s multi-channel HD system, including multiple channels of SC-AutoPlay, with integrated CG graphics and subtitles, for HD channel-in-a-box automation and playout. Multiple channels of SC-Ingest under the control of the SoftCast Media Asset Management model, SC-MAM, are also included.
