San Diego, California -- DVEO®, a trusted supplier to leading broadcasters, telco TV/OTT and cable operators around the world, is now shipping their new playout server for live and scheduled content. DVEO® will demonstrate the Channel Manager ASI™ in Booth SU5724 at the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) Show in Las Vegas, April 18-21.
Designed for broadcast and cable operators, the Channel Manager ASI™ is a cost effective "Channel in a Box" solution. It plays live and stored video content, downloads commercials from the cloud, inserts commercials into programming, and adds channel logos and scrolling text. It also scales incoming video to add graphics to the side and bottom of the screen.
The high density system supports SCTE 35 triggers and optional analog cue tones, and works with most EAS systems like Trilithic™, Sage™, Monroe™, etc.
The Channel Manager ASI interfaces with station traffic and billing systems. It manages ad inventories and provides “proof of play” for all ads and emergency messages played. DVEO® pioneered many innovations in ad insertion.
"The Channel Manager ASI is a cost effective, industry leading playout server for over the air or cable channels," stated Laszlo Zoltan, Vice President of DVEO®. "We have developed many customized systems to meet customers' unique requests."
The Channel Manager ASI is available in single and four channel versions. It supports both HD and SD – 1080i, 720p, and 480i, or arbitrary resolutions. The four channel version supports four SD (or optionally one HD and three SD) MPEG-2 live streams arriving via ASI.
The system ships with a graphics creation application but uses most graphics formats. Graphical elements can also be inventoried on the on board hard drive.
