The Player Channel has chosen EdgeBox, an automated remote playout solution from PlayBox Technology. The new system is installed at the channel's playout service provider and can be fully controlled from the broadcaster's operations centre in Hammersmith.
Moving to a new transmission service company gave us the opportunity to invest in a more versatile playout system, said Crispin Nieboer, founder and CEO, The Player Channel. After studying the various solutions currently on the market, we identified PlayBox Technology EdgeBox as offering exactly the facilities we needed, and at a sensible price. The new installation gives us dynamic playlist and graphics control from our operations centre in London. PlayBox Technology installed the entire system within one week and provided onsite training at our Hammersmith studios. Easy to use, highly responsive and very reliable, it has proved a real winner.
The solution provided to The Player Channel includes a CaptureBox in the operations centre to capture from tape, plus a traffic management system with full integration into both the operations centre and the playout site, added PlayBox Technology UK sales director Ben Gunkel. The advantage of the EdgeBox workflow is that Player Channel is able to maintain exactly the same standard of operation as with its previous service provider but with more direct control, and at a fraction of the cost. Player Channel can also use the EdgeBox live pass-through feature to switch in and out of live feeds when they overlay custom graphics with the built in TitleBox module.
Also installed for The Player Channel at its playout service-provider is an EdgeBox fully automated playout system which forwards a video, audio and data stream by satellite and cable to a potential 30 million viewers across Europe. The EdgeBox is provided with a fully redundant backup server, SNMP monitoring and an auto-sensing smart switch to monitor the audio and video signals coming from the main and backup EdgeBox servers. The Player Channel has subscribed to PlayBox Technology's 24/7 support and monitoring service which is provided from our UK headquarters.
