Tightrope Media Systems To Demonstrate Cablecast Version 7.9

News Image
Tightrope Media Systems will demonstrate Cablecast Version 7.9 at the 2025 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Booth W2615.

The upgraded software delivers a new Bulk Actions feature to make changes to multiple shows simultaneously, video streaming portals that comply with WCAG recommendations for ADA compliance, an enhanced user interface for improved meeting workflows, and Cablecast Smart Summary, an AI-powered indexing and summarisation feature for government meetings designed to help local governments and community media centres save time and engage more residents.

Designed to reduce duplicate efforts, the new Bulk Action feature allows users to select multiple shows and apply a change to all of them at the same time. For example, users can delete VOD files, assets, or metadata associated with selected shows (without deleting the actual shows). Users can also use Bulk Action to update metadata, such as show title or producer information, across multiple shows.

Cablecast 7.9 further enhances video accessibility on its Cablecast Internet Channels, aligning with the latest Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Designed to make web content more inclusive for people with disabilities, Cablecast's turnkey video portals offer customisable features that enable accessible streaming of live and on-demand government meetings. These features include closed captions, translations, audio descriptions, screen reader-friendly navigation, and more.

To provide a more streamlined user experience, the Show Record redesign features a reorganisation of show fields into separate tabs. A new step-by-step process makes it simple to create new show segments (called reels), as well as intuitive drag-and-drop functionality for rearranging the order of reels. Plus, an integrated reel trimmer allows users to adjust segment timing or create new reels from the same file using a simple slider.

Powered by AI technology, the new Cablecast Smart Summary automatically indexes and creates chapters of government meetings, which enhances transparency and makes government more efficient and approachable. With searchable, editable transcriptions, Cablecast Smart Summary ensures minutes are detailed and accurate—without clerks having to re-watch an entire meeting. It also summarises content, which saves staff hours of manual effort, and empowers Cablecast users to sync video chapters to agendas. For VOD viewers, the time-saving Cablecast Smart Summary allows them to easily jump to specific discussions, agenda items, votes, and more within meetings.
