MULTICHANNEL ADVERTISEMENT INSERTER

In order to insert local advertisements in different cable signals, it is important to count on a reliable system, expandable and at a reasonable cost.
In this sense, in Videoswitch we have developed an integral solution that meets the needs of every cable operator.

In cable Systems, due to the great amount of signals that are transmitted, it would be very expensive to have one advertisement source dedicated to each signal.
The Videoswitch system allows sharing the same sources among different signals, optimizing costs.
The integration is made through the interconnection in a net of a station that works as a capturing and editing post for the advertisements (optional), another one that works as a server for those and can broadcast up to 12 signals simultaneously, a Cue Tone detector, and a system of matrixes for the insertion of commercials that makes the necessary commutations.
There is an inconvenient in the commutation of these signals, since such channels are not synchronized among themselves.
By this means, Videoswitch has developed two products that solve in different ways this problem, adapting to the budget of each cable operator.
