Miranda Technologies Launch iTX Playout Appliance

Miranda Technologies has launched iTX Playout Appliance, a dedicated hardware foundation for Miranda's highly advanced iTX automated playout platform.
The Miranda iTX Playout Appliance is a robust, 1RU hardware device that now provides existing and prospective iTX customers the convenience of a single call solution for software, hardware and support — with a choice of the new iTX appliance or an HP self-provisioned server — simplifying ordering, installation and deployment of an iTX automated playout system.
"The introduction of iTX Playout Appliance demonstrates our firm commitment to deliver value through continuous improvement of our product portfolio," said Jason Rogers, Miranda's senior vice president, Workflow and Playout. "Its benefit as a solid and reliable foundation for iTX software is matched by its convenience as a device available with iTX pre-installed, or as an easily configured on-site pairing with an existing iTX software framework."
The iTX Playout Appliance is available in single- or dual-channel configurations. It supports standard iTX channel packages and optional plug-ins, powerful real-time graphics, embedded Dolby D and E processing and ANC data such as captions, watermarking and SCTE 104 messaging.
Other benefits include fault-tolerant RAID 10 disk storage, a fast loading, performance enhancing solid-state system drive and dual, user-replaceable power supplies.
Rogers added: "The iTX Playout Appliance carries a badge that customers know and trust. It is ready, reliable and fully supported by decades of customer-focused engineering and design."
