Video Broadcast Scheduling Software
A playout system has many elements and may have software/hardware from many suppliers including Miranda, Harris, Pilat, Avid, etc. A broadcaster needs an asset management system to manage the content itself, a scheduler to organise the assets fo. All assets are stored in the same database and so are all the broadcast schedules. You can manage all your channels with only one software tool.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL PLAYOUT SERVER «CHANNELS IN A BOX»
Multi-functional user friendly multi–channel broadcast playout server for multiple tiers of broadcast operators and full broadcast center operations.
Apni Yaadon Ko Lyrics from the movie, Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat. This song is sung by Shantanu Mukherjee. 
Vplay 5 is ideally suited to Broadcasters who are aiming to migrate to IP and web streaming services. The server can mix different inputs and outputs on a per channel basis and supports multi format ingest from live sources.
Vplay supports subtitling and automatic audio leveling, regional ad insertion based on SCTE–35 tags, advanced graphic overlay per individual channel, simulcast out, internal transcoding and trans–rating of signals to DVB, ATSC ½ IP TS and Multi–Bitrate OTT broadcasting.
