On display will be best-in-class products for managing critical functions ranging from advertising revenue and programming operations to affiliate revenue and on-demand operations, working together to provide a complete and seamless solution. SintecMedia will feature OnAir(R) 4, a significant upgrade of its flagship product that demonstrates the company's ongoing investment in product improvement. Also featured at IBC2014 will be the Integrated Broadcast Management System (IBMS); the MediaPro advertising sales system; the CloudOnAir solution, designed to enable small and mid-size companies to manage their media businesses in the cloud; and robust solutions -- including the OTTilus over-the-top (OTT) delivery platform -- for managing nonlinear offerings.
NEW: SintecMedia OnAir(R) 4
Making its European debut at IBC2014, SintecMedia's OnAir(R) 4 is a significant new version of the company's leading platform for end-to-end broadcast management. OnAir 4 supports every business-critical function necessary to manage the advertising revenue stream, including ad sales, traffic, programming, scheduling, promotions, and rights management. Key improvements include a sleeker technology footprint that delivers a significant reduction in implementation and system maintenance costs, as well as a new optimization tool kit for managing promos and ads.
OnAir 4 features a completely redesigned screen layout that makes navigation of complex business workflows easier and more intuitive than ever before. From a single integrated screen, operators have a complete overview of the broadcast business environment and easy access to critical operations with a minimum of mouse clicks. The system has an intelligent interface that senses where the user is in the navigation and suggests the next possible operation, providing the user with intuitive navigation and more operational space on the screen.
In addition, OnAir 4 is now completely integrated with SintecMedia's stand-alone OnRights and OnRequest modules for nonlinear content management and delivery. Working together, the three products offer a comprehensive business management solution for managing and delivering content for linear broadcast and nonlinear platforms.
