VSNMulticom
VSNMulticom is an advanced solution for the automatic broadcast of mono/multi channel TV that allows for an exhaustive content and broadcast workflow control, while providing an absolute security and robustness for 24x7 broadcast. One of its most competitive advantages is its independence from the equipment already installed in the broadcast infrastructure, since its homologated by manufactures such as EVS®, GrassValley®, Sony®, Avid®, Brainstorm®, Chyron®, Seachange®, Omneon®, Vizrt® and Pesa®, among others. Moreover, it is the only automation system that offers a global digitalization solution integrated with all the production, writing and archiving system, such as ENPS®, Avid®, EVS®, Front Porch®,Tarsys®, etc.
VSNMulticom’s simplicity allows to administer the system in an integrated way, no matter how complex the devices/inputs structure may be. There is no limitation in the number of devices to control, while the lists to control can be up to eight. The system allows to identify concepts, inputs and devices in an intuitive way. In a very simple manner, the user is able to drag & drop video content to create the rundown, making the task much easier.
Also, it proposes a flexible group of modules that offer a consistent solution for all the different broadcast and ingest tasks, independently of the chosen channel configuration. The operation is similar, but the system architecture is scalable and can be replicated on demand in a simple an easy way, according to the desired redundancy levels. This architecture allows for configuring this channels (SAT, CATV, TDT, Analogic) in a very simple way, guaranteeing that its broadcasting chains (devices associated to every route) are managed safely and avoiding mistakes.
Finally, its capacity to control one of the widest devices range in the market, from VTRs, matrices, mixers, graphic and subtitling systems, GPI devices, Flexicart libraries and LMS, among others, makes VSNMULTICOM an open and affordable system in any case or circumstance.

VSNLivecom’s main rundown allows to control up to 4 channels with its corresponding redundancies (8CH in total). Also, there are 4 more multipurpose lists for auxiliary channels (the system can handle up to 8 auxiliary channels) that can be used to launch studio resources, make previews or just for playing out different content to those in the rundown. In this regard, VSNLivecom even includes trim, loop, slow motion and other functionalities to further increase the potential of these auxiliary playlists.
The list of devices and video servers that VSNLivecom controls is inherited from VSNMulticom MCR system, allowing for the support of a very wide range of products. Some of the VDCP servers supported are: VSNOne TV, DVS, Grass Valley K2, Harris Nexio, Harmonic Omneon, Seachange and EVS, among many others.
Its revolutionary architecture has been designed to allow maximum simplicity, reliability, flexibility and high availability, while its client-server architecture allows different clients to connect to the same studio playout engine.
Moreover, VSNLivecom also allows for the configuration and change of the system without affecting the operation. Devices can be stopped without having to interrupt playout. Also it is possible to customize the operation views, for each studio and user and keep the settings for future sessions.

Aveco Ad Juggler
Aveco Ad Juggler – Master Control Automation Innovation for Sports Play Sponsorship
Aveco’s Ad Juggler is a dynamic ad-insertion technology designed specifically for unscheduled commercial breaks. With Ad Juggler, advertisements are pooled, prioritized, and queued so that the operator can quickly and easily insert ads into important moments of a dynamic broadcast such as sport events. Depending on priority, ads can be dynamically inserted at the most or least interesting times. For example, an ad with the highest priority can be inserted with one click by the operator, just after a goal during live sports broadcast, in order to get the highest monetary value from the unscheduled ad space. With Ad Juggler, advertisements are prioritized based on how many runs the ad has already had, and the general monetary value of the ad. This prioritization allows the system to juggle through ads for the highest monetization value so that the operator doesn't have to worry about it. At the same time, Ad Juggler tracks total commercial air-time so that any air-time limit is never exceeded.
Until recently, all high-end master control automation systems used in sports, including Aveco’s, have included alternate playlists to use in case of rain-delays, schedule over-runs/under-runs and in times of rapid changes.
However, none were designed to handle play-level sponsorships. Advertisers want to sponsor different types of plays. You can’t predict what type of play will come up and the response needs to be instantaneous. Some advertisers want to sponsor a goal while others want a penalty shot, some a save or a touchdown and others a blocked shot. Multiple advertisers will want to sponsor these peaks-of-interest so traffic-derived rotational patterns are required.
Aveco’s Ad Juggler, co-developed with one of the world’s largest media companies, is a breakthrough. Operators hit one key to execute the proper type of sponsorship as a video and/or graphic, implementing a standing-order from traffic, posting to the as-run log, and reconciling to traffic and billing.
This brings significant new revenue. Selling such sponsorship is easy as viewer attention is at its highest. Aveco makes this extremely easy to accomplish.
Aveco’s Ad Juggler can be located within a station or network master control room, a regional or national master control centralcast room, or it can be provided as a master control room service from a teleport or network service provider. Ad Juggler can be part of a primary master control or it can be used only during sports events. And, it is part of Aveco’s award-winning ASTRA automation Suite of Tools.
It can easily handle alternate sponsorships for alternative delivery methods (e.g., streaming, OTT, media portals, mobile apps, etc.)
Ad Juggler can also be coupled with localized advertising through edge stream splicing at locations of re-transmission/translators, cable headends, DTH, etc. Aveco pioneered remote stream splicing in master control, taking responsibility for traffic interface, ingest, media forwarding, cueing, executing stream splices, returning as-run logs, and reconciling with traffic and billing. Using remote stream splicing enhances revenues with Ad Juggler as do other centralcasting Aveco solutions such as hub-and-spoke network connected designs.
Among other features, Ad Juggler includes Aveco’s Commercial Counter which dynamically updates — frame-by-frame — commercial duration, so networks and stations easily remain within standards and practices limits, as well as regulatory limits.
Aveco’s Ad Juggler is extremely versatile. It’s part of the broader ASTRA automation Suite of Tools that includes the industry’s most advanced master control platform, news/sports production automation, and local-regional-national centralcasting.
Aveco’s Ad Juggler can control any third-party equipment with the TV industry’s largest library of interfaces and implemented APIs across all manufacturers. The breadth of Aveco integration includes baseband and IP platforms, facilitating the broadcaster’s selection of the best hardware and software across each part of the broadcast chain – rather than accept inferior parts of manufacturer bundles.
Ad Juggler can also be used in a stand-alone configuration, using Aveco’s Redwood Blue (powered by Harmonic) or using commercial-off-the-shelf hardware in Aveco’s Redwood White.
Sports is one of the most important and fastest growing areas of broadcast, globally. It’s an area of enormous financial potential for media companies. Ad Juggler changes the game of ad optimization in sports. It is a unique and important innovation in live global sports monetization.
