combines everything necessary for
both retransmission and broadcasting
of its own channel including:
*	 Playback of media files
of all popular formats
and compression types;
*	 Switching between several
non-synchronous video inputs
of different formats;
*	 Delay of the pass-through video
and audio (time-shift);
*	 Overlaying multi-layered
animated graphics with
alpha channel;
*	 Interaction with external
equipment via GPI signals
or serial ports;
*	 Automatic recognition of special
start / end cues for automated
advertisement insertion.
SoftLab-NSK is introducing its
standalone Forward Splicer device.
It can splice up to 10 programmes in
MPTS encapsulated with T2-MI. Splicer

works with CBR streams
with SCTE-35 marks. SCTE118 standard is supported
for automated content and
schedule loading.
For the first time the
new
channel-in-a-box
solution with Ultra HD HEVC real-time
encoding is on show. It runs on Intel
NUC - a very small PC with low power
consumption. The server plays videos,
overlays graphics and shows picturein-picture alongside a schedule.
SoftLab-NSK is also showcasing its
solutions for live production: Forward
Goalkeeper; SLSportTitler; and All¹Mix.
Forward Goalkeeper is a system for
multichannel recording (up to 12 HDSDI channels) and slow-motion instant
replay. The user interface allows
monitoring of all inputs, marking of
interesting events, prepare and start
replay from any camera with variable
speed from -100% to 200%.
SLSportTitler overlays automated
sport graphics for ice-hockey, football,
basketball, volleyball, handball etc.

Forward T playout solution

The system can be integrated with
score-board to obtain real-time game
info (period number, time, score etc.).
All¹Mix allows live switching of
multichannel video. It can be used as a
replacement for traditional hardware
solutions like video switchers, CG
stations etc. All¹Mix includes extended
tools: playback of various multimedia
materials; creation, editing and
interactive work with simple or
complex CG overlays; simplified virtual
studio with three-dimensional scenery
and 3D animated transitions; audio/
video processing (colourkeying etc.).
