AirX Media for Broadcast Content Management
AirX Media is an automated content management system that works closely with AirX Playout Broadcast Automation servers, providing a comprehensive broadcast content management solution. This tool enables TV channel managers to automate the retrieval of schedules, playlists, media assets, and CG production content for playback.
This broadcast content management system allows operators to efficiently manage local content on AirX Playout Broadcast Automation servers. It also automates the retrieval of media assets from extensive repositories, making content readily available for multi-channel TV playback.
Through automated management, reduce content retrieval errors and manage your network traffic to lower the load on digital storage systems due to large video file transfers. Efficiently move and manage media assets between AirX tools, cloud-based storage, and third-party production solutions.
