PROGRAM CONTROL
& FIXING

AirEdit offers broadcasters full content
control over on-air program feeds.
Engineered to control EVS XT3 series
server, the system offers the highest level
of reliability and action speed required in
playout environment.

Designed for content control actions
during live events, as well as multi-time
zones and multi-regional programs,

application which allows the management
of searches, previews over live feeds,
creating on-air delay and edit programs
on the fly.

Its intuitive interface, including the
visualization of a timeline, makes it the
ideal solution for on-the-fly editing,
commercial insertions and profanity delay
within seconds of transmission.

CAPABILITIES

KEEP CONTROL OVER
YOUR ONAIR PROGRAM

Based on XT3 audio video channels
technology, AirEdit allows to monitor live
program feeds at any moment. On-air
programs can be kept under control
and modified if necessary to cope with
the Station or the country’s regulations
they are airing their programs to. Fixing
operations such as replacing content,
insert commercials linked to appropriate
regions, can be managed in a second with
the timeline editing capabilities.

Local content to be inserted in the
incoming feed can be ingested in the EVS
server from tapes – using IPDirector’s
batch digitizing tools – or from multi­format files that will be conformed on
the fly to the playout format.

FULL VIRTUAL CLIPPING
& STORYBOARDING

An input channel records the live feed in a
permanent loop-mode. Using the intuitive
control panel controlling the production
servers’ channels, the operator swiftly
defines clips to be removed or, with the
same ease, inserts pre-recorded material.
Time delay is kept constant when
replacing commercials of pre-determined
durations. Rubber-banding operations are
also possible, increasing delay as content
is being inserted without removing
original. Delay can also be decreased
if content is removed without being
replaced. An alarm system is available to
warn the operator if the delay is becoming
too short. A second input is available as
an option to ingest newly-produced jingles
or commercials, for which frame accurate
VTR control is provided.
