Integrated Channel
Pebble’s scalable integrated channel device offers audio, video and graphics functionality in a compact, cost-effective format to meet your ingest, channel branding and frame-accurate multi-channel playout requirements.
It replicates in software all the functionality of a traditional broadcast playout chain made up of single-purpose devices performing dedicated functions, and it can be customised for all your channel types, from tightly scheduled ‘static’ channels to highly reactive channels with multiple content formats, complex graphics, and live inserts.
Virtualised Playout
Virtualising your playout can deliver a host of benefits, including the agility to launch and decommission channels for short term requirements, and the ability to host your operational infrastructure in a standard office environment.
Our experience of designing and delivering IP-based virtualised playout infrastructures makes us the ideal partner to work with as you contemplate making the transition, and our team of experts will talk you through the considerations and support you as you make your choice.
