Video Server - Broadcast Automation

Broadcast Automation

In TV Broadcast industries, a server is a device used to store broadcast quality images and allows several users to edit stories using the images they contain simultaneously.

The video server can be used in a number of contexts, some of which include:

  • News: providing short news video clips as part of a news broadcast as seen on networks (like CNN and Fox News).
  • Production: enhance live events with instant replays and slow motion and highlights (sport production) (see OB Vans)
  • Instruction: delivering course material in video format.
  • Public Access: delivering city specific information to residents over a cable system.
  • Surveillance: deliver real-time video images of protected sites.
