We’ve engineered the HyperCaster™ B100 with simplicity and reliability in mind through our use of Linux open source technology, plus our proprietary real time video and application software.
The HyperCaster™ provides IP origination for up to four independent digital broadcast channels for
applications such as local origination, leased access, PEG channels or longform advertising.
The server supports MPEG-2 Transport with MPEG-2 and optional H.264 video codecs in standard or high definition formats, including CableLabs® and ATSC. The HyperCaster’s™ native IP over Gigabit Ethernet interface can be easily integrated with any copper or fiber IP network architecture. The output can also be used by industry standard IP-to- QAM modulators.
The IP origination capability of the server enables file-based workflows and all-digital outputs; eliminating costly, per channel real-time encoders while maintaining your content’s original quality. The HyperCaster’s browser-based content management and broadcast automation application includes categorization, search, and powerful drag-and-drop scheduling. Content is ingested via simple drag
and drop. The server can publish a searchable program guide for your website or provide schedule data to 3rd party guide services.
TelVue’s B100-IPTV HyperCaster™ supports PID remapping and IP StreamThru™ that allows seamless
switching between files on hard drive and live network streams either on schedule or as default continuity.
This unique feature allows the server to double as an IP digital video switcher. The native MPEG-2
Transport capability allows HyperCaster™ to integrate with existing digital ad insertion systems and support EBIF interactive applications for direct response and electronic fulfillment.
The HyperCaster™ can also interface with CCMS-compatible traffic and billing systems such as OpenTV’s EclipsePlus® with as-run logs, and missing media notifications. Now campaign management, geo-targeting and yield optimization can be applied to all of your longform programming.
When you combine the B100-IPTV HyperCaster™ with TelVue’s Content Management Platform, you can easily support regional or centralized multi-headend configurations, streamlining traffic and billing management and content ingest workflows.
