One Playout for Every Type of Channel
VideoWorks adapts to any programming format — here are some of the channel types already running on our technology.
VideoWorks TV HD
VideoWorks TV HD is the ideal software for automating television broadcasters. It stands out for being built on a media-server concept: the main screen processes every command and the schedule, while content playback is handled by an extremely lightweight application called V-Kernel — ensuring each application uses hardware resources without competing with the others.
It also includes a built-in character generator (logo, clock, replay, live), a mirror system to go on air in case the main machine fails, playback and proof-of-play report generation, playout control and independent playback through a client-server architecture, simultaneous playback and recording with HD Recorder, a URL (streaming) input channel, and a schedule editor with a Trim function for marking the start/end of playback.
