Why Fission?
How can simplicity equal productivity?
Forget about high priced, complex and incompatible systems. Fission's highly cost effective modular design helps you simplify and improve your existing workflow. Management control, unlimited expandability and the confidence of a frame accurate consistent transmission will no longer be out of reach.
Share resources on a daily basis using standard off the shelf hardware configured precisely to fit your needs. The same networking and storage infrastructure can be used among different operational areas. This simplifies current processes, future expansion, overall connectivity and media exchange for your entire broadcast entity while increasing profitability.
Fission solutions are recommended for companies who are:
1. Seeking cost-effective broadcast solutions that scale down costs
2. Seeking to reduce space requirements that traditional equipment may have needed
3. Looking to relocate or rebuild new TV stations with innovative 21st Century solutions
4. Seeking scalability and multiple channels to be added affordably
5. Seeking to escape long term costs associated with traditional broadcast automation providers
6. Seeking to keep play out functions in-house at less than the cost of using a play out centre
7. Seeking a system which is capable of being integrated with other media distribution systems such as web sites
8. Seeking to maximise investments in content creation by creating a system that encourages sharing media assets across the same computer/storage network
9. Seeking automation solutions that are intuitive for programmers and managers to use, have high quality graphic user interfaces (GUI) and don’t simply appear to function like a jazzed-up spreadsheet.
Full Features
Fission's playout module can work based on either internally generated logs, using built-in scheduling tools, or by importing 3rd party traffic system logs. An intuitive graphic interface enables the operator to reschedule events on the fly by easily searching and accessing media for last minute changes. Trim editing tools provide the precision required for visually adjusting the length of such media even while On Air.
Automation is achieved through frame accurate playlists with embedded commands for bidirectional GPI triggering, external device control (VTRs, routing, console switchers), real-time graphics (logo, clock, text) and video compositing. Live content can be seamlessly sequenced or composed with digitally stored material at any moment.
Based on the information contained on a daily log, this module highlights automatically the capture tasks required for completing the material needed for transmission on a given day. Content catalogues provide the necessary information for fully automating the ingest process, by creating accurate batch capture lists. Last minute manual captures can be fine tuned with the aid of built-in NLE tools. Finally, the newly captured media can be linked to an already existing content profile. Although Fission is primarily designed to perform in a tapeless environment, there are several features that aid operations when broadcasting content from tape, like user bit-based tape catalogs, either imported or internally created, as well as time code breakdown tools for program segment definition. All the capture operations performed by this module are recorded in Fission's database for further reports.
As the basis of Fission's tapeless operation, this module automates prescheduled, unique or periodic, extended media captures. If required, the module is capable of handling the recording of such events through the use of external devices, like tape recorders and routing switchers. Every event added from any Feed Capture Module is available to all other stations for assignment. All file capturing and tape recording activities are thoroughly logged for future reports. It is possible to create virtual segments, from either captured media or recorded tapes, and link them to existing content profiles for future broadcast. This process can be done with the aid of an external shuttle device to increase accuracy and speed over extended media captures.
Either by importing a 3rd party traffic system log file or by manually adding any type of content into the database, this multi-channel management module constitutes the starting point of Fission's workflow. By including most of the functionality found on the Insertion Module, all the adjustments required for an accurate automation of a given playlist can be done days before being broadcast; tasks like command assignment, verbal advertisement marks, overlay graphics, content editing and video compositing. All the information and profiles associated with the transmission content is handled by this module, as well as the transmission reports, media maintenance and user management operations.
Innovation is at the heart of this solution. Fission engineers will work with customers to add features needed as they arise, thus guaranteeing that the product performs the ways users need it to.
