Stuart Cameron, MD of Cache Media, exclusive distributor for Europe, said: “We are convinced that HARDATA .TV is the perfect choice for cost effective broadcasting applications including local TV.” “For too long people have spoken about a Channel in a Box solution. What they really need is a fully integrated playout server with asset management. People need more content to more platforms fast. With HARDATA .TV we have seen directly that from delivery to being on air can take less than a day.” John Golding, director of systems at Cache-Media said: “The heritage of HARDATA. TV as a television and radio automation supplier is well known and respected. Coupling that with the use of an Enterprise class server will provide the level of reliability the market requires. ”We were particularly impressed with the system’s ability to play out HD and SD video in any format in the same playlist.” “We found the feature set of the product to be very comprehensive. It enabled us to launch a new channel quickly and effortlessly,” said one customer. “The SDK allowed us to integrate the HARDATA .TV 6120 into our ideal workflow.”www.cache-media.com
