RTPL has launched a new version of SD/HD Video Playout system for broadcast Industry. It is an all-in-one playout solution with a built-in automation, video server, and channel graphics. It manages every transmission function in the channel, from ingest to playout of content, channel branding and redundancy management all from one single 3RU box. The solution consists of a playlist manager (Skedula); ingest manager, and playout system (XStream play). It is an advanced disk based system for on-air playback of both short-form content (commercials, promos, etc.) and long-form content (programs, films etc). It supports all industry compression and file formats. Also a unique system architecture means ingest and playout can be direct from a central NAS storage over LAN and controlled by dedicated client PC’s on the same network. 

Built for 24 x 365 applications, it is a compact, expandable, compatible, and flexible solution with outstanding performance and functionality.

Features include:

• Support for both standard and high definition pre-compressed content, with multiple video formats
