ARMADA Time Delay is a separate application, not associated with OASYS Player and runs on a separate dedicated server. It’s a fixed time delay solution that is designed for unattended, “set it and forget it” operation.

It provides multiple options to automatically time shift or delay live programming for up to 10 days and supports live inputs from SDI, SDI/IP or IP and outputs SD-SDI or HD-SDI. It does not support any form of user control or playlist integration. It includes an option for the permanent overlay of a single fixed graphic (i.e. bug or logo) as a still TGA/PNG/JPG or animated TGA/PNG sequence.

Ideal applications include:

• Time Zone Delays


• Regional Delays


• Quality assurance


• Disaster recovery

ARMADA Time Delay is perfect for recording live feeds you need to capture and delay on a consistently regular basis. The system comes pre-configured and is ready to go with very minimal set-up required.

Specifications and pricing will vary based on storage, inputs and outputs and other requirements so contact your BroadStream Representative or Partner for a full description and configuration for your specific needs.

Fully Automated, No User Intervention Required

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.
