A Dynamic Interface to PSIP Generators
Using ATSC PMCP protocol that sends event data to produce an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) and is constantly updated from the Florical broadcast automation system. With AirGuide, broadcasters can automatically generate in real-time an accurate program guide from their AirBoss schedule for use with digital TV (DTV) networks.
Florical’s AirGuide can be configured to minimize or expand the amount of schedule information displayed by the EPG. The information provided by AirGuide can be as little as the program names and their start times or as detailed as every event (including commercials) or all individual program segments with the commercial breaks noted. As on-air events are added or removed from the play schedule in AirBoss, AirGuide will automatically update the EPG to reflect the changes.
Florical’s AirGuide interface has been in service since 2006 and works with any PMCP compliant PSIP generator.
