Pharos automates UKTV programme credits at BBC Broadcast
Pharos Playtime automation at BBC Broadcast's playout facilities is now controlling end-credit playout at all of UKTV's channels.
The new installation enables BBC Broadcast's Playout and Media Services staff to initiate end-credit digital video effects and audio transition sequences which cross-promote programming across the entire UKTV network.
The Playout system is highly automated with all necessary timing, duration, controlling and caption information placed during the schedule planning process.
A Pharos user interface screen displays each component of the end-of-credit sequence and allows DVE moves to be checked and previewed before they go to air. Confidence Playlists are displayed on Pharos workstations interfaced to each programme automation channel via a Pharos Control Platform (PCP). The system controls seven Pixel Power Clarity character generators, each equipped with dual squeezeback channels and an audio-mix option.
