IBC 2017: wTVision shows off ChannelMaker-in-the-Cloud
wTVision’s playout automation solution is now also available in the cloud, and it will be on display at IBC 2017 in Stand 7.B33. With ChannelMaker-in-the-Cloud, users can manage their playout structure from anywhere and reach a global audience instantly.
During the demonstrations, wTVision will showcase local asset management and encoding it with ATEME’s KYRION CM5000 to then stream the content, as a live input source to ChannelMaker-in-the-Cloud. Entirely hosted on the web, it sequences and plays out clips previously uploaded, mixing them with state of the art 3D graphics overlays and encoding everything to an output stream that is sent to a channel distribution center and decoded via the ATEME’s KYRION DR5000 where it follows a traditional path towards distribution.
DR5000 can receive feeds from two IP sources (besides 4xRF inputs and 2xASI inputs), allowing the system to automatically switch to the backup in case of failure on the data transmission. Local station media can be automatically detected by wTVision’s Media Agent and uploaded to the web without user intervention, making it immediately available for sequencing. The innovative system was successfully tested for the first time in December and is on display at IBC 2017. The flexibility of ChannelMaker, that allows broadcasters to easily create, optimize, or expand a TV channel, will now enter a new phase in which portability will be key.
wTVision will be also presenting the V5 generation of its main products at the stand 7.B33 of IBC: FootballStats CG V5, ChannelMaker V5, and Studio CG V5.
