Polaris Play is a complete, cost-effective channel-in-a-box (CIAB) automation system that unleashes the true power of branded channel playout on a 1-RU platform. The software application suite is optimized for Harmonic’s Spectrum™ MediaDeck 7000 integrated media server, a high-density solution for up to four SD/HD channels, each with its own SD simulcast channel, effectively delivering eight automated playout channels per rack unit.
Polaris Play offers low total cost of ownership for customers needing both scheduled and live playout capabilities. The software enables a fully automated CIAB solution that includes ingest with Spectrum MediaPort™ 7000 real-time video I/O modules and playout with the Spectrum ChannelPort™ integrated channel playout system. A rich software toolbox for ingest, playlist control, media prep, traffic integration, and scheduled and live playout combines with MediaDeck’s high-density I/O capabilities to simplify multichannel playout workflows while reducing both CAPEX and OPEX.
