TELE 2.2 IP – software solution for IP broadcast

Testimonials

Akatona Technologies have been working together with Stream Labs for more than a year. From the beginning our cooperation was excellent, better than with any other CG hardware supplier. The first steps of integration of their hardware with our IVS CG software were a really simple business, and Stream Labs boards worked perfectly from the start. Our IVS software is compatible with the 5 leading CG hardware for PC, but Stream Alpha Plus card is the best choice for Composite.

TELE 2.2 IP – software solution for IP broadcast

Features (similar to TELE 2.2 Info):

  • Automatic, scheduled video material display on the air in round-the-clock, 24/7/365 mode, non-stop.
  • The following elements can be used in one schedule in any possible combination:
- Video clips of different formats, resolutions and frame rates (can be joined into blocks): MPEG-2 (MPG, M2V, VOB), MPEG-1, MPEG-4 (DivX), MJPEG, DV (Type I or II - Matrox, Pinnacle, Canopus), Windows Media (ASF, WMV), Quick Time (MOV, DV), etc.;
- Animation files (sequence of graphic files (TGA) with alpha-channel);
- Scripts for display of titles (prepared in Alpha Pro application) with audio (*.WAV format);
- Text blocks (crawls) with audio (*.WAV format).
  • Broadcast design with graphics and text affixed to schedule or controlled manually.
  • Broadcasting text (SMS) and multimedia (graphic) messages (MMS), organizing the moderation of incoming messages.
  • Automatic output of news blocks from RSS feeds.
  • Streams coming from various video signal capturing devices can be used in any combination in one schedule. The source of digital stream can be a Stream ALPHA Plus card (1 input), an FS-6e card (4 inputs), DeckLink cards (ex. DeckLink Intensity), a controller with IEEE-1394 DV capture interface, “multipurpose TV Tuner” (different cards and USB-devices for video signal capture), or a web-camera. All digital streams can be scaled, color corrected and sound adjusted, can be displayed in full-screen or picture-in-picture mode.
  • Editing current schedule on-the-fly, during schedule playback, at the last moment, or editing the schedule for a different day.
  • Creating a schedule for unlimited number of days ahead.
  • Remote schedule editing.
  • Importing schedule from different formats, including text files.
  • Using rotation mechanism for automatic broadcast filling with text messages, graphic elements and video clips. No need to create a scrupulous playlist! It is sufficient to indicate the number of runs for every element and time range for their playback.
  • At the start of the output of every schedule element it is possible to overlay an additional unlimited number of text and graphic elements (secondary events) over it, such as:
- Graphic files (with alpha-channel too);
- Animation files (sequence of graphic files (TGA) with alpha-channel);
- Titles (Windows fonts, Unicode coding supported);
- Digital and analog clocks;
- Temperature sensor readings.
  • Foreground composition elements and their contents can change when switching from one schedule element to another, or by transmitting the new values when the specified frames of the video clip are displayed.
  • Generating a real statistics report of video clips and blocks broadcast.
  • Remote system control.
  • External switching equipment support (Kramer, DSC, XDR, etc.).
  • External DV devices control via 1394 interface.



Example of Indoor TV system based on IP broadcast technology in a shopping mall


The advantage of this solution is that the picture generated by our software system can be transferred by employing a regular twisted pair, which is cheap and is easy to install. Moreover, one cable can transfer the picture from several independent servers. For picture visualization on liquid crystal monitors (LCD) or plasma panels, you can use D-Link DIB-120 and Amino 110 high definition IPTV Set Top Boxes (as in STREAM TV), which allow to transform the signal from IP to any convenient format, such as CVBS, S-Video, VGA, HDMI, etc. By configuring the Box for the required IP-address, you will receive the picture generated by the corresponding server on the monitor.

TELE 2.2 IP software also allows to organize a "live" internet broadcast, which equals youtube.com in quality. Internet broadcast can be performed both absolutely independently and together with the broadcasting through the Stream ALPHA computer graphics cards.
