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.

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.

Singular.live is a cloud-based digital overlay platform that is revolutionizing live video stream productions. With a robust authoring environment, built-in control applications, integration with the industry’s leading streaming software and devices, and an open API and SDKs for additional integration and customization, Singular is a complete platform for adding animating overlays to live streams.

Singular’s overlays are entirely HTML-based, and can be used in powerful, innovative ways. With Singular’s local rendering, each viewer can have a personalized experience, with targeted ads, local date and time, customized color themes, and even unique overlays or information than a viewer on another device sees. Local rendering also means less equipment. There’s no need for expensive render engines or licenses; any computer with an internet browser is all it takes.

Singular also allows for interactive overlays, increasing user engagement by allowing viewers to participate directly with the stream they’re watching. Users can vote on polls and see live updating results or click to see specific stats and overlays during a sports stream.

Singular overlays can also be authoring in adaptive mode to automatically resize based on the viewing device. Users on mobile phones and tablets will see different versions of overlays than users on laptops or smart TVs so every viewer gets the best possible user experience.

While Singular is a web platform – allowing for cheaper and greener remote productions without the need for travel or shipping equipment – Singular can also be utilized in SDI or NDI environments, allowing Singular to fit into both traditional and new broadcast workflows. What’s more, Singular is free to use.

With powerful and dynamic overlays, enhanced user experience, simple tools for authoring and controlling, a small equipment overhead, and a wide array of partners and integrations, Singular.live ushers in a new age of broadcast and streaming possibilities at a fraction of the current cost.

Singular is the new standard for digital overlays.
