Product details
The International Datacasting (IDC) Event Manager is a broadcast network software: injects frame accurate queues into audio stream required for commercial insertion; triggers stored program playback, channel changes & more. The RTP stream output from the audio encoder at the configured data rate is intercepted by Event Manager and the appropriate action triggers, relay contact closure including RDS data and metadata information are injected into the RTP header in real time. Action triggers received from IDC’s Production Manager are frame accurately injected into the audio IP streams RTP headers to allow for seamless transitions for commercial insertions (copy split), channel changes and play lists. Relay contact closure events can be input to Event Manager using the front panel, terminal interface, LAN connection, or parallel port.
Key features

- EPG: Creates EPG (Electronic Programming Guide) for IDC audio receivers for operator ease-of-use
- Trigger Insertion: Injects realtime triggers enabling a variety of operations—copy split, store & forward, digital program insertion, regionalization, etc.
