Technology focus > Playout and automation
Publitronic stresses the importance of having an open infrastructure.
Arqiva, “We are seeing hybrid delivery for- mats. A mixture of satellite and fibre transfer, plus linear and non-linear playout. Economies of scale are leveraged by being a managed service provider, with storage, transcoding and distribution being provided as a managed service.”
And multi-platform operators aren’t just thinking of flexibility and cutting their outgo- ings when selecting management systems, but also how ultimately they will help them to increase their income, acccording to Errington at OASYS. “One of the keys to multi-platform delivery is the ability to extract revenue from each process, and the rights management, traffic management and billing systems need to be fully capable of handling all the options required for each delivery mechanism,” he says . According to Errington, the move away from multiple device control to a single integrated playout device will be critical in controlling power consumption and simplifying the basic
automation processes for broadcasting. “It needs to be fully integrated into the existing transmission process, sharing file creation processes, scheduling, storage, and billing,”
he says. “The divergence is only around deliv- ery, where linear and non-linear follow a dif- ferent path. Up until that point minimisation of overlap is critical.”
