E-MAILSelf-contained playout in a box for all channel types
Pebble’s powerful and compact playout in a box solution leverages our best-of-breed automation and integrated channel technology to deliver a full HD ingest and playout solution, with comprehensive redundancy options for systems up to 4 channels.
In addition to hosting your simple clip-based channels, our Playout in a Box is also capable of handling more complex, reactive channels which regularly feature late-breaking changes. Its exceptionally intuitive user interface, coupled with powerful graphics and DVE functionality, combine to deliver a 'best of breed' solution at an affordable price.
The rich feature set incorporates encode and decode, up and down conversion, graphics, DVE, ARC, subtitling, voice-over and optional Dolby® encode and decode.
For ingest, file format and compression ratios can be selected on a per job basis, and clips can be trimmed and segmented even while the ingest is in progress. Operators are able to view playout and ingest processes using an IP monitoring window directly within the UI. Each solution is scaled to meet your specific needs in consultation with our expert team of engineers. It is then delivered as a pre-built and pre-tested unit for quick on-site integration and one-stop support access. With fewer points of failure, simpler maintenance, and lower energy costs, it adds true channel in a box functionality to the Pebble family of automation and integrated channel solutions.
Our solution brings enterprise level playlist intelligence to the playout in a box environment. A single operator can control up to 4 channels if required, and it is even possible to edit the ‘on air’ list, provided that the operator has the appropriate user privileges.
Lists can incorporate several event types and classifications, and all events are continuously validated to ensure that everything required for playout is available. Various formats can be included within the same playlist, with a wide range of supported codecs and wrappers, up to a maximum video codec bitrate of 50Mbps. Multiple independent graphics layers deliver channel branding and ‘Now Next Later’ promos and captions.
With live or VTR input, the Pebble Playout in a Box also supports FXP or FTP transfer with automatic caching of primary and secondary media from nearline storage.
Able to handle events incorporating a live feed, secondary media, dual DVEs and multiple graphics layers, it can deliver even your most complex channels to air.
