Busby offered by Squared Paper is a state of the art microservices and ESB toolkit which can be used in a wide variety of broadcast applications:
- monitoring hardware
- software and applications
- workflow orchestration of any complexity
- event recording for SLA reporting and later analysis
- controlling external devices and services
- media manipulation and delivery.
Busby Core Modules
- Configuration, authentication, presentation
- Workflow tools
- Resource scheduling and analysis
- Device control
- Alarms and monitoring
- Dashboards and reporting
Three parts of Busby
- Busby Configuration
- Selector (presentation of the current configuration)
- Busby Admin (an overview of the Busby system status)
Busby Configuration
- Centralized user interface for managing the configuration of your Busby system
- Allows configuration of all available services
- Versioning available for rollback to a previous state
- Secure
- Core system settings
- Various levels of deployments can be assigned to multiple machines or hosts
- All services can be configured through a simple form
- Drivers for connecting to numerous third-party hardware/ software devices
Busby Configuration • Workflows
- Manual steps allow the Busby user to interact with the workflow directly
- Automatic steps might be an action performed on an asset like transcoding or the compilation of a report/schedule
- Multiple paths can be easily created in a workflow by adding ports
- Scripts can be added at any point in a workflow. Written in modern scripting languages and utilising built in libraries, frameworks and functions
Busby Configuration • Boards
- To present a workflow in a meaningful way we use boards.
- They allow for ultimate flexibility when deciding on the what workflow steps should be included and in what order.
Selector • Boards
- Allows for the presentation of a workflow where each vertical strip corresponds with a step in the workflow.
- Each separate job is represented as a card in a column. Behind the scenes a record is kept of the jobs progress and varying ‘states’ as it travels through the workflow.
- ‘Info-block’ metadata can be attached to jobs at any point
- Each board is customisable for different user groups
Selector • User Interfaces
- Other user interfaces are available
- Each can be displayed depending on the users' access permissions.
- Screens can also be tailored to display different parts of a workflow depending on the users’ requirements
New features…Some of our latest work includes:
- Creation of a Resource scheduling and diary modules
- OTT/TX chain overview user interface
- Multi-site connections using secure zone trunking
- Additional connectors to third-party system and services
