MediaTimer

Longform Program Segmentation and Effects Insertion

MediaTimer is a non-destructive media prep solution that creates and records segment times for program material stored on video servers or video tape machines (see Florical's AirBoss, Master Control TV Broadcast Automation system for playout). A drop-down list of house-numbers can be populated from traffic or through other ingest processes such as ShowTimer, MediaFiler and our PathFire interface. All relevant metadata entered through the ingest process (from traffic, MediaFiler, ShowTimer, etc.) will be displayed in MediaTimer as well. Operators simply select the exact in and out points of each program segment, then MediaTimer automatically creates sequenced house numbers from the primary file and stores the information in the database.

Features

  • Frame accurate control for accurate program timing
  • Optional Desktop View - view source video for program timing and effect insertion from an office workstation
  • Optional Traffic Assist - makes scheduling effect insertions easy. While reviewing the clip, choose start and stop times for bugs, crawls, etc. so as to maximize impact while preserving critical video.
  • The source may be controlled from the MediaTimer interface or through an optional Shuttle Jog Controller ( a "hands on" control panel similar to a Sony or Panasonic VTR Shuttle Jog control panel).
