Abstract
A common challenge faced by most television operations is the labor intensive
task of ingesting and preparing material for on-air presentation. Systems that
are most automated cut the labor cost and are providing ROI to stations.
Program and commercial material is delivered on satellite, tape or other
delivery systems. It must be ingested into local storage that may include
video servers, video tape and archive systems.
Content owners include television and news stations, but the content
originators are extending their position in the market, initiating
broadcasting to traditional and nontraditional platforms including the small
screen of the cell phone and the Internet PC
Worldwide on air broadcast automation software market forecasts indicate that
markets for software at $178 million in 2006 are anticipated to reach $315
million by 2013.
