Netherlands-based AXON Digital Design has announced the first supply of its TRACS compliance recording system into Brazil. Two systems were purchased by Sky Brazil, the leading subscription television service provider in Brazil.

In 2012 Sky Brazil reached more than five million subscribers. Currently Sky Brazil has 39 channels in HDTV in total

On this project, Axon worked closely with its local distribution partner, Sao Paulo-based Line Up Systems. For Sky Brazil, a key feature of TRACS2 is live stream forwarding, which enables the user to create a unicast or multicast (depending on system settings) of a live video stream over a local area network. All computers on the network can hook up to this video and audio stream without needing the TRACS client application and without using up additional bandwidth per individual live view.

Compliance recording is a legal requirement in Brazil and we evaluated many systems before selecting Axon s TRACS2, commented Claudio Silva, project manager, at Sky. With TRACS2 being used to record many hundreds of TV channels worldwide we believe that it is the natural choice, together with the great local support provided by Line Up.

More and more broadcasters worldwide are now legally obliged to provide recordings of their transmissions on-demand. Being able to quickly prove that a transmission actually happened can help to resolve a dispute, or maintain advertiser confidence. Axon s third- generation compliance recording system makes compliance easier, more efficient and cost-effective than ever.

TRACS2 is based on the Linux OS and runs on dedicated hardware equipped with RAID 5-configured disks. There is no tape stock, recorder or storage costs - it offers low operator and maintenance costs creating potentially dramatic savings. The system is safe and secure, providing automatic recording with no direct access to recorded content and a sophisticated user-management system.
