Core SDK’s
The following functionalities are managed by the Core SDK:
- Handles authorisation with NativeWaves service
- Loads relevant information and exposes them to the App
- Available events
- Event information and available entities for a selected event
- Connects third-party data providers to entities and exposes the information to the App
- (if required) Handles synchronisation of the smartphone/tablet to a main screen (e.g. TV, Laptop) via audio.
- Handles playback of audio, video and data
- Schedules playback with regards to sync information:Guarantee synchronicity of all active playback feeds (audio, video and data) to a common timeline.This also means, if you jump back in time for e.g. 30 seconds, all video, audio and data information moves back to the state of 30 seconds ago.
- Provides interfaces to switch between entities of interest and jumping back in time.
The Core SDK does not provide any visual component. This means that the integrating app has to implement the UI and views while requesting data from the Core SDK. Furthermore, the app has to take care of any user interaction and pass relevant interactions to the Core SDK, like switching to a different camera or jumping back in time. The Core SDK provides call-back interfaces to report its current state to the app.

Manifest brings stations and stories across organizations under a single smart repository for efficient collaboration. Users can create assignments as well as discover, follow, and request stories happening in other markets. Its powerful indexing engine makes it simple for multiple stations to locate and repurpose a single story without having to create their own.
Stations can create, designate, and update assignments right in Manifest. Dynamic notifications inform crew members exactly when the story is dispatched, when the finished story arrives, and when the file is automatically delivered to your newsroom systems.
Smart indexing allows stations to search for stories by topic, location, or category and request them for their own market. Once a story is requested, it will be automatically delivered to that workflow as soon as the file is available.
Manifest integrates with other newsroom systems including AP ENP where information related to that assignment is automatically updated across both systems.
Stations can deliver media in the desired codec and wrapper right into their asset manager. latakoo is fully integrated with asset managers made by Avid, Grass Valley, bitcentral and Dalet.

QC Box
Easy Quality Control Checks
In a playlist directory or chosen files, QCBox analyzes the relevant media data. Basic checks include checking for correct stream length continuity (no missing or overlapping frames), frozen or empty frames, and audio tests including measurement of loudness, phase and audio quality. Test results are stored on AirBox in a metadata file that contains the media file. The metadata file is tested and, based on the software parameters, the AirBox playout can be programmed to skip the file, show an alert before playing the file or play the file. In addition QCBox's loudness control data can be used to change the audio playback settings automatically.
Cost Effective Loudness Control
Intended for ITU-R BS.1770-1, ITU-R BS.1770-3, CALM Act, ATSC A/85 and EBU R128 television channels–for audio loudness control.
QCBox automatically checks media files for: File System Level Errors, Correct Media and/or Stream Length, Real Checks vs Specific Decoder Failures, Lost or Overlapping Frames Black and Frozen Video, Program Loudness, Loudness Spectrum and True Peak measurement* program output.
AirBox
AirBox Multi Parallel Output allows simultaneous running of two or more SDI or IP streaming SD / HD outputs so that broadcasters can easily deliver parallel output in any combination needed to deliver the content.
AirBox supports a wide range of video / audio formats from almost every known platform for production Third-party video server files like Leitch, Seachange, etc. are supported natively.
Any modifications to the playlist can be made during the on-air session. There will be no locked videos in the playlist except the one being played at the moment. They can be changed, edited or substituted.
On-the-fly commands such as skip to next or jump can change the playback order. Such changes in order are carried out seamlessly without stopping the current session. The powerful Live Show Clipboard facilitates live productions, enabling the insertion and/or execution of different events or live streams.
AirBox enables playlist scheduling for weeks ahead for automated playout. The associated gaps and time overlaps are overcome dynamically to ensure smooth service even when timed activities interfere with each other. If content files or even entire schedules are missing and misplaced, special facilities guarantee continuous operation.
