1. OVERVIEW
A. Universal Automation Backup System, UABS-I Overview
The Universal Automation Backup System (UABS) provides affordable,
simple, easy-to-use, reliable playout control. UABS utilizes the existing
playlists from your automation or traffic system. It controls program and
commercial channel playout. You can manually build playlists and modify
existing lists. UABS is a reliable hardware based solution standing by
24/7, to make sure that you stay on the air.
In an emergency, UABS allows you to manually roll Program (clip or tape)
and still automate commercial break playout, OR automate both program
and commercial playout.
UABS supports one playlist, for a full or partial broadcast day, which
contains time triggered, follow-along, and manually controlled elements.
Also supports program segment playout and secondary GPOs. The playlist
can be modified at any time—adding and removing elements, appending
playlists — even while the list is playing out.
UABS-I FEATURES
• Import playlist files from most major automation and traffic systems
• Playout program and commercial on one video server channel
• Manually roll program clips (or tape) on one video server channel and
automate commercial breaks on a second server channel
• Supports time triggered, follow along, and manual playout elements
• Supports program segments and secondary GPOs
• Manually build playlists on UABS or import from text editor
• Supports As-Run Log and Discrepancy List
• Consists of one Control Point and one Device Controller

B. UABS-I Configuration
The Universal Automation Backup System is comprised of one DC20 Device
Controller and one CP20 Control Panel. (The VGA monitor, PC keyboard, video
server and Ethernet infrastructure is provided by the customer.)
The DC20 Device Controller is connected to two video server channels for playlist
playout, clip review, and has two additional channels available for manual program
play out on a video server channel or VTR. The CP20 Control Panel is connected to
the DC20 Device Controller thru an Ethernet connection.
In Master Control, the CP20 Control Panel, with external VGA monitor and keyboard,
is used for on-air playlist playout control and playlist editing.
