Traffic AVECO automation's work begins on the information network with the acquisition of playlists from each department of a broadcast station (programming, commercial, news and promotion) in batch or in continuous mode. AVECO interfaces with traffic and other playlist systems using two-way, dynamic data exchange to deliver a tightly coupled, quick reaction workflow that supports live teamwork even moments before air time.
		Playlist The playlist specifies precisely what, when and how content is delivered. Playlists can support different types of events, triggering options, transitions, audio modes and editing possibilities for smooth operations and to achieve an error free, attractive on-air look.
		Media Capture The automation controls all processes related to recording to the videoservers, VTRs and low resolution video servers both automatically and manually. Complex and repetivie recording sequences can be programmed to take place automatically.
		Metadata and Cataloging When a clip enters the system its accompanying metadata is captured as well. The clip's record date is added to the metadata and an expiration date is set according to the workflow.
		Media Management Media Management means the the proper clip is in the proper place at the proper time. AVECO systems move media as required for playout including across WAN networks in Central Casting configurations.
		Production and Editing AVECO automation offers a wide menu of capabilities for final preparation for broadcast of both events on the playlist and the media content. The system also supports previewing sequences to insure quality broadcasts.
		Broadcasting AVECO systems determine the on-air readiness of each clip on the playlist. This includes a check on all devices and systems required to broadcast each event. Broadcast takes place frame accurately regardless of the number of layered sequences, effects or last second changes.
		Archiving AVECO automation can control robotic archiving systems with intelligence. Automated sequence can be programmed for moving clips from archive to playout devices and for storing clips to archives.
		Reporting, As-Run Log ASTRA generates the as-run that lists each event with its time and duration of broadcast. The As-Run Log is transferred back to the station's planning system.
		Device Control Our automation is able to control the newest technology and legacy equipment as well. AVECO is determined to control any device our customers require from videoservers, VTRs, carts, digital archive through routers and mixers up to VPS code inserters, captioning, DVE and others.
		Low Resolution Browsing This subsystem allows for web-based listing of the clips available at the TV station and web-based browsing of the low-res copies of the material.
		Tape Management The tape logging station allows for entering the metadata, marking the in and out points by direct VTR control and storing the data in the system database.
		Diagnostics The automation has built-in diagnostics subsystem which checks the status of the automation itself as well as the status of all the devices connected to it.
		Access Management AVECO systems control user access to data as well as to TV technology. The system administrators can define the access for every user, to every device, to any event on the playlist, and more.
		Teamwork The automation supports live teamwork. Several operators can share jobs, inform each other about the results and coordinate their efforts.
