"AirBox forms the nucleus of every PlayBox Technology


installation," said PlayBox Technology CPO, Plamen Georgiev. “Besides its powerful playout features, AirBox offers simple yet flexible broadcast automation which can be programmed locally or remotely


to operate unattended every hour of the day, every day of the year. Integral features include multi-language audio, graphics and subtitle insertion, last- minute playlist changes and clip editing.”


Audio capabilities are also expanded with SureCode for Dolby E and Dolby Digital Plus.


“Such capabilities facilitate


proper content handling when audio channel re-mapping is needed,” said Georgiev. “Handling Dolby encoded signals 'in the box' gives additional operational flexibility and saves the need for expensive external equipment.” 8.C30
