Seachange builds foundation for Polimer TV

MUMBAI: SeaChange International, which supplies technology to television broadcasters globally, has announced that Polimer TV has deployed a new play-to-air platform using its Broadcast MediaLibrary/MediaClient (BML/MCL) architecture.

The operator delivers information and entertainment programming via satellite to South India through a cable network.

 

Polimer TV chairman and MD PV Kalyanasundaram says, “The SeaChange platform allows us to meet our current requirements such as multiformat back-to-back playout of clips while giving us the flexibility to easily expand in the future. When the time comes, we will be able to add clustering as our operation grows and also transition to high definition as necessary.”

 

SeaChange’s BML/MCL architecture comprises distinct capabilities that have made it the foundation for over 100 broadcasters worldwide: Broadcast MediaLibrary servers, which cost-efficiently provide fault-resilient storage of any type of media file; and highly flexible SeaChange MediaClient software codecs, which support a wide range of formats to simplify a broadcast operation’s workflow.

Polimer’s MCL codecs are controlled via a HiTech active filer remote controller, which facilitates quick ingest and playback capabilities.
