MSX
MSX
MSX is a technological breakthrough allowing Polistream and conventional subtitle transmission product users to probe deeper into their system than ever before. It is easy to use and will greatly speed up both the identification and correction of issues in the transmission pipeline.
MSX not only detects and signals imperfections in the stream, it will also analyze the subtitles. Broadcasters, channel managers and content providers within the organization can view the subtitles as they are sent to ensure service quality.
MSX can be used to monitor subtitle transmission from end to end. It can monitor and display data in many formats. This allows the user to see subtitles as they would appear to the viewer. The system is ideal for confidence monitoring or fault location.
MSX can display many channels with multiple languages on one computer display and it saves considerably in space and cost over multiple monitors and decoders. Custom views can also be created depending on individual system requirements via the powerful system editor.
A Remote version supports multi-user remote workstations and dedicated ASI & SDI signal inputs.

Cavena Subtitling
Cavena Subtitling
Adding subtitles to your content – either translating the language of the audio or providing assistance for hard of hearing viewers – is often an important requirement, and these subtitles need to be displayed at the same high quality as your content. Edgeware can now make subtitling easy with our Cavena solutions.
There are many complexities when delivering high quality subtitles to multiple device types and screen sizes. Subtitling is usually two rows of text with a timecode that determines when to display and when to remove the text. But there is an array of different formats and character sets that need to be supported.
Edgeware offers the Cavena-based technology for the highest quality subtitling. Integrated with Edgeware’s Packager and Protection product, the combined solution delivers high quality subtitling across any screen format, to any client and in any character set.
Cavena’s technology delivers high quality subtitles for TV, using Optical Character Recognition to convert subtitles from image to text formats, which provide a much higher quality experience for OTT viewers. The system can also transcode subtitle formats with one subtitle format in, transcoded within milliseconds, and another format sent out.
