OmniBus iTX supports 1080p24 Playout
OmniBus Systems has support
for 1080p24 playout capability with iTX, the most full-featured and powerful
solution available for automation and playout in broadcast, IPTV, mobile TV,
disaster recovery and business continuity applications.
"This is a significant breakthrough
for the industry, bringing to an end the unprecedented situation in which
consumers with full HD sets have the capacity to receive a better quality of
image than broadcasters can deliver," said Ian Fletcher, CTO, OmniBus
Systems. "Because iTX is an open-architecture, software-driven system,
we've been able to meet the challenge of 1080p24 more rapidly than other
manufacturers, and the first 1080p24 broadcast services are not far off as a
result. This solution gives broadcasters all the elements they need to run a
full 1080p24 solution out of the box from encoding and asset management through
to master control effects, graphics, and caption generation."
Being launched at IBC2008,
the latest version of iTX provides a comprehensive and powerful production,
automation and playout solution, outstripping the capabilities of the
conventional broadcast playout chain. With an exceptional ability to integrate
with third party systems and an open IT-based architecture, iTX delivers the
most versatile and rapidly evolving solution available while significantly
reducing the investment required to launch and operate high-quality channels.
iTX delivers a highly
scalable and configurable solution for a wide variety of applications, with
over 130 channels in operation at broadcasters and media organizations
worldwide, ranging from Chellomedia, Microsoft and DIRECTV to Star TV, H3G and
Videohouse.
Shipping from IBC2008, iTX
1.2 delivers hundreds of enhancements and new features including schedule
preview; Omneon reference file support that allows content to be read directly
from Omneon servers and played out by iTX; multiple language support with
instant language track re-assignment and support for language track stacking;
exceptionally flexible audio engine with native Dolby surround encoding and
input/output remapping; support for multi-regional breaks and opt-outs;
automated insertion of evergreen content for disaster recovery; capabilities
for newsflash and roll-under situations; closed captions; enhanced control of a
wide range of external devices such as routers, VTRs, subtitlers and graphics
systems; increased integration with OPUS content management; and live instant
random access playback for news and sports programming.
