Processing of multiple Signal Sources

The basic version of the Media & Broadcast Logger provides activatable M/SPTS IP inputs. Optional inputs are available for Analog, DVB-S2/C2/T2 + ATSC/ATSC3.0, SDI, NDI, ASI, QAM, RGB/DVI/HDMI, TS-IP, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, SRT, MPEG-DASH, SMOOTH and Radio FM/AM/DAB signals. Different signal sources can be combined in one device. For DVB and radio applications, the logger has integrated receivers. A DVB receiver contains up to 8 internal tuners. At AM/FM/DAB operation, one receiver card can process and record up to 32 radio stations simultaneously.

The optional X-TS module allows recording of DVB and IP signal sources in native MPEG-TS format. The combination with the H.264/265 Proxy provides frame-accurate editing, cutting and uploading of TS Native video through the low resolution proxy.

With the integrated streaming and web server, MPEG-Dash streams are available on all common stationary and mobile devices with live, instant and time shift function and as VOD.

Simple, User-Friendly Operation

The state-of-the-art XENTAURIX HTML5-based dashboard with its various layouts offers a combination of multiscreen live signal and playback, metadata, advanced clip creation, search functions, storyboard and analysis tool displays on one interface.

Layouts can be created individually and stored user-specifically both locally and centrally. Video clips can be edited quickly and easily via drag & drop, cut frame-accurately and uploaded to FTP, network share, exported to social media or any other destination. The HTML5 layouts can be created on a black or white background. The versatility of each layout is shown in the slider view.

The logger creates automatic video clips using SCTE-35/SCTE-104 data, or as-run logs, EPG data or timer. With frame store-based recording technology, clients can switch directly from the live view to instant playback and create video clips that can be directly exported.
