For broadcasters, security measures for the system are never enough! Everyone wants to have the maximum security level, but all we know that actual security is near the 99.9%. Etere Video Assist turns your system 100% safe. Currently, in case of emergency on a TV Station, the operator creates a tape from the video files assigned to be used in case the on-air is stopped.

Etere Video Assist gives you the opportunity to take a step less by suppressing the use of tapes for the creation of emergency video files.

In the tape age, a VTR was the last resource to be used incase of a system failure, and using a VTR the operator was able to play the correct video in a short time. That was in the tape age, now, we all are in the digital age, where video content arrives as files, and cannot be played back in a VTR anymore. Etere Video Assist is the tool to solve this problem. It can be used along with any automation system, not only with Etere. It includes the capability of reading multiple versions of the same schedule including all the media management involved to perform a correct transfer of files. Etere Video Assist is a multi-format playout, so no transcoding is needed to use the existing files.
