Automated Media Management

SafeBox

SafeBox is a content integrity and mirror verification system designed to ensure that all media required for playout is present, complete and consistent across local storage. It validates that playlists, schedules and associated assets are correctly mirrored from remote locations and available for reliable on-air operation. SafeBox can operate in playlist-dependent mode or in standalone verification mode.

In playlist-dependent mode, SafeBox monitors incoming daily schedules and checks that all referenced media exists in the local playout folders. When new schedules arrive, SafeBox updates file paths automatically to match the local storage structure. Expired schedule content can be moved to a predefined purge directory either automatically or with user approval.

In standalone mode, SafeBox observes remote watch folders and confirms that new or updated material has been correctly mirrored to the local playout environment. It provides detailed status information, verification logs and clear reporting to ensure that all required assets are present and valid.

If file transfer functionality is required, this is performed by a separate companion service. SafeBox acts as the monitoring and reporting front end, validating completion, integrity and availability once transfers have been executed.

SafeBox supports multiple monitored sources and can verify content for one or more destinations depending on configuration. All operations are designed to maintain playout reliability by ensuring that every required file is present, intact and ready for use.
