Highlights file-based media opportunities for broadcast TV, radio, enterprise, retail and non-profit organizations in booth SU 4902.
Wegener Corporation (OTCQB: WGNR.PK), a leading provider of equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks worldwide, today announced its exhibit showcase for the 2011 NAB Show (booth SU 4902). Demonstrations will include Compel® network controlled media applications for broadcast television, radio networks, enterprise, retail and non-profit organizations.
WEGENER® Compel network control systems provide optimized distribution of live and file-based media content to WEGENER media players and receivers. WEGENER creates unique media localization strategies by optimizing control of a vast array of media play-out features. At the 2011 NAB Show WEGENER will highlight the following enhanced localization strategies:
– Video program insertion. Distribute and store video programs or advertisements at each receive site. Remotely schedule local insertions of stored video over a live feed. Alternately, use the stored content to run custom playlists at each site eliminating the need for real time network feeds.
– Efficient radio broadcasting. Pre-position select radio programming, liners, and advertisements at each site. Blend stored content with live programming. Enable each site to record live shows for time-shifted broadcasts.
– Broadcast ‘Signage’. Enhance the live network video feed with unique text and graphic overlays. Schedule video re-sizing at specific times to increase signage opportunities.
– NEW! Open Ingest Digital Signage. Rapidly expand inclusion of local content. Learn how to manage multiple non-technical content contributors with WEGENER’s new Open Ingest Solution.
– Multi-Video Input Digital Signage. Combine digital signage with local video. Add local digital signage content around commercial video feeds without disturbing the existing the network infrastructure.
– NEW! Media Library Access. Personalize the video on-demand viewing experience. WEGENER’s new media library allows end-users to view media on local displays or wirelessly via mobile devices.
