At the 2015 NAB Show, Tightrope Media Systems will introduce Cablecast 6.0, the next generation of its PEG video workflow automation platform for multiscreen environments. The latest release delivers a redesigned user interface and public-facing website.
The new public site, which represents the front end of the system for viewers, highlights live streaming and VOD programming, a display of the schedule including what program is live now and next to air, and provides enhanced search capability. It supports Tightrope's Cablecast Reflect systems for live and VOD streaming, so consumers can watch PEG channel content on tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices as well as desktops.
With Cablecast 6.0, Tightrope's Cablecast SX Series video servers now offer 1080p support and built-in cross conversion. Users can load 1080p, 1080i, 720p or 480i content into the server and then play it out in any of those formats.
