DETECT Software module
A part of TELE and TELE Info broadcast automation and informational and graphic on-air design software suite is an additional program for automatic advertising insert by DTMF-signal or by musical fragment - "bumper" (jingle, signature tune of the advertising block).
Operation principle: at a regional (retransmitting) station a special program module called DETECT constantly listens to incoming audio coming from the head station and "recognizes" (picks out from incoming audio) the DTMF-signal sound or the musical signature. The sample for comparison can be set separately for the left and right audio channel.
The program works together with the schedule, and upon detection of the specified sound sample it issues a certain command, forcing TELE/TELE Info to start the output of selected video blocks depending on current system time, or to stop the output.
In addition, the program can perform similar actions by accepting GPI-signals through the Game-port of a computer. For example, from control panel in the studio or from the block of CUE-signals identification Softel SE3067. In a similar way, a system of local advertising insert in EuroNews, EuroSport and Animal Planet channels on St.-Petersburg cable TV was implemented on the basis of Stream ALPHA SDI and TELE Info software. |
