Ingestion: It allows the recording of satellite sources without interruption or on a preset basis. Together with the recording process, the programming segments separating the artistic blocks from ADVERTISING of multiple origins placed through the net.

Broadcasting: The preset segments may be broadcasted setting up playlists. Graphics may also be MANAGE to be captioned on the broadcasting.

Guidelines and Audit: It allows the performance of the multichannel audit and guideline. The advertisements’ guideline procedure may be performed by hand or by importing it from a traffic or sale system. Such guidelines are automatically recorded in the broadcasting control positions. The general audit of the system is carried out by consulting every clip broadcasted or subject to guidelines on every different channel and time schedules. This tool is used for the internal broadcasting control and to create commercial certificates of such broadcast that would be sent to clients together with the invoice.

Ingestion: The system allows the capture of different audio and video sources such as DECKS that are controlled by IEEE1394 or RS-422 protocols. The system also allows the import of different files format from removable means or from non-linear editors networked with the system. SQUID is compatible with most of the SD and HD format supported by the television industry. Furthermore, the ingestion modules bear tools of backup material and disk-storage maintenance.

Broadcasting: the guidelines previously created are broadcasted by playlists that may be modified also while being reproduced. Commercial breaks may be transmitted by cuetones. The playout may administer the broadcasting of video clips and the static or animated graphic caption

Ingestion and Edition: Satellite capturers systems allow ingestion together with the exploration of the material recorded. They integrate non-linear edition centers with the workflow and relate them to satellite capturers for the selection of material; and then, it exports the news to the playouts.

M.A.M. functions and Archiving: It allows the classification and consultation of material in the system, and the management of news and images historical file. Tasks generation and organization of newscast: it allows the News Chief or Producer to generate tasks for editors by pre-selecting images and establishing the news script. He may also check the outcome and organize the Newscast broadcasting sequence.

Broadcasting: It broadcasts news in a pre-established sequence; however, playlists may be modified during execution to be included as last minute news. It manages the graphic caption automatically during the playback.

Guidelines and Audit: Advertisements guidelines may be performed manually or by importing them from traffic or sales system. The general audit of the system is performed by consulting only those clips broadcasted in different signals and time schedules. It is used for the broadcasting internal control and to generate commercial certificates to be sent to the clients together with the invoice.

Ingestion: It allows the capturing from DECKS controlling them by means of IEEE1394 or RS-422 protocols; it also allows the importing of different file formats from removable media or from non-linear editors in networked with the system.

Broadcasting: The guidelines generated are broadcasted through the playlists and they can be modified even during the playback.

Ingest: the servers are able to simultaneously record up to two RF, audio or video channels. If more inputs are required, you can add to the system all the ingest servers that are needed. A caption indicating the channel number and date may be added to use it as a legal recording.

Production: the applications of remote exploration are installed in production positions or in non-linear editing centers of the networks in order to view or export the selected segments. The remote exploration and export is conducted without stopping the recording. The system automatically generates and manages the historical filing of the material in optical means (DVD or Bluray) or LTO.

It allows preset or manual insertion of high quality static or animated graphics. The captions can be applied individually, per groups or categories of clips. The animated graphics are created from TGA sequences with alpha channel information. The borders and shadings of the texts can be freely set and the movement of the scroll is subpixel optimized.
