Product Lineup

Ingest

AssetCollector
AssetCollector is a robust asset management component that automates the acquisition of file-based delivered broadcast content, both syndicated programming and commercials. AssetCollector replaces third party tools used to acquire file-based delivered content to free your operation from base-band and bring content into your play-to-air server.
MediaFiler
MediaFiler is the easiest asset acquisition software in the industry. Your traffic system or our dublist processor can be used to create a drop-down list of "to be dubbed" material. ShowTimer, PathFire and/or FlipFactory interfaces add a "need to review" list in the MediaFiler drop-down list.
MediaTimer
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. 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.
OrderEntry
OrderEntry is a Traffic System for ShowTimer's scheduled acquisition. OrderEntry automatically creates daily ShowTimer schedules from long-term orders (record contracts) or one-time "special orders". Plan asset availability by viewing equipment conflicts in current and future schedules.
SatCom
SatCom provides a consolidated location to remotely select, control and status multiple devices in one convenient location. With an intuitive user interface, one can remotely select, control and status devices such as Satellite antenna controllers, satellite receivers and routing switchers.
ShuttleJog
Florical's Shuttle-Jog Controller is used for ingesting or for timing material through MediaTimer. The Shuttle-Jog works and feels like a standard VTR control panel to make ingesting simple and controls any video server or videotape machine in our extensive supported devices list.
ShowTimer
ShowTimer manages satellite Network feeds or live events by controlling satellite dishes, receiver and routers with a primary and up to two backup recording locations for each event. Create Record schedules effortlessly with Order Entry, Florical's "traffic" software for Satellite feeds and FTP transfers.

Our systems are designed by television engineers with a focus on workflow enhancement and reliability. AirBoss is easy to operate for live programming and provides totally unattended operation of programs and commercials.
AirBoss Editor
AirBoss Editor will convert your traffic log to an automation schedule or can create a schedule from templates if a traffic system is not available. Create and edit as far in advance as you can plan. Florical's advanced traffic interface is compatible with virtually every major traffic system in the U.S., with or without BXF.
AutoJIP
The unique AutoJIP feature of Florical's AirBoss makes it nearly effortless to join a program already in progress such as after an overrun live sporting event, or at the end of a breaking new event. Operators simply push a single button to signal the end of the overrun event.
ParkingSpot
Parking Spot the ideal place to park your spots. A novel live production feature in Florical's newly designed AirBoss presentation suite that allows the user to drag and drop commercial content as needed during live news or sports programming. A pop-up window stays open to allow the user complete flexibility during fast paced live programming.
QRCP

SMART Central
SMART Central allows the user to perform many functions from any networked workstation with secure access. SMART Central is a portal to access the many automation applications and services that create your operational workflow, which improves both management and staff access to information and control.
Supervisory Monitor
Florical's Supervisory Monitor displays multiple channels on a single computer screen including channel status indicators and color coded warnings. A single glance confirms operational status for both program and break material and can be installed anywhere within the station such as offices, break-rooms or Master Control.
TimeShifter
With one simple step the user can time shift the following program to play from the beginning and automatically join in progress the following syndicated show. TimeShifter is an innovative time delay feature in Florical's newly designed AirBoss presentation suite. This allows complete flexibility with live or satellite programming. Going from one appointment driven live program to another no longer requires a join in progress.

Asset Management

AirGuide
AirGuide uses ATSC PMCP protocol that sends event data to produce an Electronic Program Guide 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 television networks.
AssetDispatcher
Asset Dispatcher is a transfer agent that uses regional dub-lists and programming settings to push commercial and program material from a centralized ingest location to regional sites after material has been approved.
MediaMaster
MediaMaster is the most effective way to manage your assets for television automation of single channel, multi-channel and ShareCasting systems. The result of efficiently transferring assets from Library and Archive systems is a dramatic decrease in media transfers, which reduces costs and extends the life and reliability of your equipment.
