ENENSYS Campaign Manager Debut
E

NENSYS'
AdsEdge
solution,
which provides targeted content
insertion in DTT and cable networks -
typically ads, news, weather - has been
upgraded and now includes Campaign
Manager.

AdsEdge is a combined video server
and splicer and is placed at the edge
of networks (TX sites, cable POP...)
to be able to provide dedicated
targeted content insertion based on
geographical location.
Campaign Manager is a central
server application that interfaces with
the automation system (receiving
playlists), with the content and
advertising providers (ad agencies),
and with AdsEgde to ensure that the
right content is received correctly
and is distributed to the splicer in the
correct timeframe.
It makes the necessary links between
all the elements in the delivery chain.
It also provides comprehensive

reporting capabilities to clearly
and precisely show what has been
broadcast and when.
ENENSYS is also highlighting
DTTCaster. This is designed to provide
highly cost-effective retransmission
of DTT multiplexes at regional/local
transmitter sites where IP or satellite
connectivity isn't possible or is costprohibitive. DTTCaster allows off-air
reception of the multiplex(es) from
a DTT transmitter using a simple
antenna.
ENENSYS' OneBeam system provides
the ability to use a standard satellite
DTH network to also distribute services
to DVB-T/T2 or ISDB-T transmitter
sites.
