TimeShiftBox

Complete Global One-Box Time-Shift Solution

TimeShiftBox

TimeShiftBox is the solution to full one-box time-shift. It meets all delay criteria by providing accurate program time delays from one minute to one week or more. TimeShiftBox also provides optimized logo insertion which reduces the need for a different device. The addition of TitleBox provides full immersive CG and graphics when more detailed CG and graphics are required.

TimeShiftBox is available for single-channel and dual-channel HD / SD SDI system delay as a full turnkey solution. The interface is easy to learn and run, making it simple to set up time delays. All other functions are completely automated and no user intervention is required. SDI’s audio quality is held as it is without any processing. With the use of high bit rate MPEG-2 compression, the video signal is compressed, thus retaining the quality of the delayed signal. Ancillary SDI data are preserved as it is. The handling of error detection in SD is recalculated.

The server has RAID data security with hotswap hard drives and redundant power supplies.
