Cablecast 5.0 Overview

Drag and drop your programs and you have scheduled them for playout, promoted them on your bulletin board, published them to your web site, sent your schedule to TV Guide, generated your programming reports, transcoded your files, and offered them live and on-demand on the web. It's all possible with Cablecast!

Cablecast Automation

Cablecast provides you with complete control of all of your playout devices. It controls your routing switcher, playout decks, Carousel bulletin board, and helps you get the timing right with live events.

Cablecast SX Video Servers

Cablecast SX Video servers were designed to be the best possible PEG video server, with the horsepower of a broadcast video server. They are capable of encodes and decodes up to 50 Mbps, and are available in RAID5 with redundant power, scaling up to 4TB of internal storage. Most importantly, Cablecast SX servers are multi-format and play back MPEG2, MPEG4, H.264, QuickTime, AVI, WMV, DV, and DVCPro files. They encode MPEG2, DV and DVCPro.

Drag and Drop Scheduling

Search for shows directly from the schedule page and then just drag and drop them onto the schedule. Cablecast allows you to schedule up to several years in advance. It has features that allow you to copy blocks of programming, to ripple your schedule forward and backward, and to schedule events that are not there. In other words, you can schedule like you should be able to, right from your automation software.

VOD, Podcasting and Live Streaming

Cablecast also enables Video on Demand (VOD) and streaming over the internet with Cablecast Pro with VOD, Cablecast SX VOD and Cablecast SX Live. As with all things Cablecast, the processes are all automated; you just indicate that a file should be made available for VOD and it is automatically pulled over to the VOD server, transcoded, and a link is put on your schedule. What’s more, there are no monthly fees.

NEW! File Validation

Have peace of mind when it comes to video files. Cablecast 5.0 Digital File Management scans your SX Video Server, validates every video file and reports any discrepancy.

NEW! Improved Autopilot

Sending Autopilot is now much faster than ever and offers more useful reporting. Cablecast 5.0 will never attempt to play a video file that does not pass the validation, and therefor it will always skip over the video and switch to your default input.
