AirBox Neo provides automated content playout for satellite channels, cable head-ends, over-the-air broadcasters and corporate TV users. Itis designed to be extremely robust, in order to meet the highest reliability demands of on-air playout. Due to its unique modular architecture itis also suitable for webcasters, hotel Pay TV channels, corporate presentations, video wall sourcing and other program distribution systems.At a fraction of the price of any digital videotape player, a single AirBox server offers the same visual quality at its single or multi-channel SDIoutputs, multi-language audio, graphics and subtitle insertion, last-minute playlist changes and clip editing.
AirBox Neo supports MPEG1/2/H.264, HDV and DV streams from virtually every known production platform providing AVI, MPEG, WMV,Quick Time or MXF content. Files from third-party servers such as Leitch or Seachange are natively supported.
For live productions, any changes to the playlist during on-air session are possible! There are no qued or locked clips. Every clip in theplaylist, except the one which is currently playing, can be trimmed, edited or repositioned. Moreover, playlist order can be changed on-the-flywith commands like skip to next or jump. Such order changes are performed seamlessly without stopping current playout session. Liveproductions are facilitated by the powerful Live Show Clipboard which allows insertion and/or execution of various events or live streams.
For automated playout AirBox Neo allows fixed-time scheduling for weeks ahead. Resulting gaps or time overlaps are automatically resolvedin order to ensure continuous operation even when conflicting timed events are present. Special facilities ensure uninterrupted operation ifcontent files or even entire schedules are missing or misplaced.
Playout sessions are being logged for monitoring and control purposes. The log can be later used for extracting actual playout sequencewith exact timings or identifying user intervention into the playout session. The logging and recovery options allow completely unattended remote operation.

TVU One
Key Features and Benefits of TVU One with HEVC:
Software-based HEVC encoder - An optimized encoder for mobile transmission environment. Significant improvement than off-shelf hardware encoder, which often are designed for different applications.
Fast Starting - Boots in less than 20 seconds from cold start with one button operation
Half-second Latency - Reliable transmission at half-second latency even in fast moving vehicles
Dual Encoding - Creates an exact recorded copy of the source video from the camera to the TVU One’s on-board SSD. The pristine recording is at a much higher bit-rate than that of any live transmission bit-rate and can be accessed at any time as a back-up recording.
Return Video Feed - Enables field camera crews to stay connected with the station through TVU One as a confidence monitor for live on-air broadcast.
TVU MLink
When using MLink that’s integrated into a satellite or microwave truck or van, there is no need to stop a live video feed when switching from cellular to satellite or microwave transmission and vice versa. MLink also gives you the flexibility to transmit solely over cellular while driving and then seamlessly switch or add satellite or microwave at your destination without needing to interrupt the transmission to deploy the mast.
TVU MLink is available in a model that supports 4K transmission.

Utelly Recommendation Engine
To build rich user and multi-user profiles, we identify key indicators throughout the user life cycle, as well as offer the option to ingest existing datasets and combine this with explicit user signals. These profiles are used in conjunction with our enriched metadata, real-time trending topics, and understanding of the wider user-base, to power our world-class recommendation engine.
There is a huge variation when it comes to individual consumption patterns and behaviors. This is exacerbated by the mixing of linear and on-demand content. Many existing solutions fail in the content landscape of today. Our nuanced approach to the challenge allows us to offer a much more effective solution.
By leveraging the connections within the unified metadata repository, better content filtering can be provided, related content can be highlighted and in turn, a better signal is collected to unlock collaborative filtering.
The next level builds upon user activities and their hidden signals for content desirability. Using the latest ML/AI techniques, prediction models are generated and help drive user engagement and ultimately retention.

MediaPower NewsApp
Technology has evolved in such a way that the transfer of data occurs in an instant and updates can be shared with a few swipes or clicks, in real-time. Along with this change in the communication landscape, the growth of video as a means to share, entertain, inform and educate is unrelenting — its impact on our communication undeniable.Every individual voice can now be heard, as people can easily share their opinions, thoughts and experiences through social media platforms. Countless online communities have been grown, and continue to grow, around these forms of communication — especially around video sharing, which has generated a number of modern professions such as blogger, vlogger, influencer and citizen journalist.Such professions, which could not have existed at all in the past, prove that, collectively, individual voices can be just as powerful, if not more powerful, than those of organizations who own and produce mainstream content and material. In today’s connected landscape, there is no doubt that user-generated content (UGC) is a potent tool in brand building, education and information sharing.
