Actus Introduces New Transport Stream Technology at IBC2012

Newly updated Actus Transport Stream module makes better use of digital video broadcast streams and archives; expands compliance monitoring capabilities

Tel-Aviv, Israel — September 5, 2012 —Actus Digital, a developer of web-based media monitoring, content repurposing and verification solutions for broadcasters, is showcasing its new Transport Streaming Storing and Exploring version 3.0 release (TSSE 3.0) at the IBC2012 exhibition, held in Amsterdam from September 7 – 11 (stand 4.A91). The newly enhanced TSSE 3.0 technology is a module of the company’s popular Actus View solution, powered by the enterprise Actus 4 Monitoring and Analysis platform. Actus View, along with TSSE 3.0 is a highly scalable, reliable and cost-effective solution for recording, logging and archiving linear broadcasts.

“TSSE 3.0 is a powerful solution for storing and repurposing a raw Transport Stream ‘as is.’ This means broadcasters can explore a saved Transport Stream from any time period, including live streams, with the ability to create and export clips using the original content,”explains Sima Levy, CEO, Actus Digital. “TSSE 3.0 saves the raw source files with all media elements intact, including audio tracks and subtitles. Users can explore and make clips from the Transport Stream using the highest quality media possible.”

TSSE 3.0 lets users exclude specific programs/PIDs or null packets from the Transport Stream. Broadcasted media can be narrowed down to the selected programs/channels, saving on storage space.

The web-based Actus interface lets operators access and watch live and archived broadcast media Transport Streams much more easily. Intuitive controls provide options for which program to show, what language to play and what subtitle or teletext to display. The advanced content management tools improve monitoring quality and workflows, giving users even more information for compliance regulations, resulting in a greater return on investment.
