product. It is also able to manage playlists and perform last minute changes in fast­paced environments

■Etere Media Manager digital content management solution designed to streamline the process of ingest,
indexing, storage and retrieval of digital assets

■Etere ingest, a multi­channel, multi­format and multi­resolution recording software that is able to capture in realtime SD/HD media from virtually any video source, broadcast stream, FTP and IP stream to any cloud storage
and apply it to any required workflow

■Etere SNMP Console, which provides centralised, automated and real­time monitoring of broadcast system
networks with a centralised dashboard that enable users to monitor the system’s functionalities easily and
quickly

■Bangkok University’s system is also equipped with NFS/NTFS File System Drivers. NFS (Network File System)
enables a user to access a remote computer with a computer user view and enables the options of storing and
updating files as though they were on the user’s own computer. NTFS is the file system that the Windows NT
operating system uses for storing and retrieving files on a hard disk

■Etere CAL (Windows Client Licence), an essential component needed to run Etere. The licence is identified by
computer not by username and multiple users can access the same PC without additional licences. This
flexibility is also reflected in servers where each server only needs one licence even for multiple processes
running on the same server

■Etere ETX, a 4K IT­based solution for video management which is also a complete channel in a box equipped
with full IP in and out capabilities. It is also NDI­compatible
