As a transmission media management tool TX/MAM offers a solution for the critical final steps in the transmission chain. In the world of multichannel playout, file based workflow and existing channel management systems, the specific playout channel requirements often result in a fragile balance between manual changes and operator involvement. TX/MAM is designed to counter that with proper automated workflows and early feedback mechanisms, resulting in increased control and an efficient workflow. It will reduce labor and manual intervention in the costly final stages of playout preparation, resulting in a simplified and more reliable infrastructure. Key features | | Simplified workflow
A large part of the complexity – and thus cost and commissioning effort - of conventional media management systems is caused by the ‘glue’ functionality which needs to be provided for multi-vendor infrastructures interfacing a variety of servers, graphics, subtitlers, arcing, storage, transcoders and converters. Simplifying this underlying infrastructure, even with a potential increase in manageable on-air functionality, is the solution to (cost-) efficient media management. TX/MAM positions PubliTronic as a true one-stop supplier for playout and branding workflow solutions. The narrow integration with the Nexus playout platform and it’s wide range of capabilities allows TX/MAM to implement a superior and conceptually simplified infrastructure by making full use of the integrated playout features of a modern IT based playout system. Together with PubliTronics’ channel branding authoring tools, TX/MAM will reliably allow more sophisticated channels with respect to branding and on-air functionality at a lower cost than conventional multi-vendor solutions. 3rd party interfacing
TX/MAM ideally interfaces with 3rd party channel management systems linking media metadata and schedules with the Nexus playout platform. TX/MAM then manages the final workflow towards the playout. It will aggregate and manage all the required secondary media for the playout with optimal feedback to the users. | | TX/MAM is the first asset management system which includes management for all the primary and secondary media needed for playout of a modern and sophisticated channel.

At the heart of the playout workflow TX/MAM identifies a primary media file with its asset metadata. The reference of the file and/or the schedule kicks off several secondary workflows, for example: TX/MAM is designed as a standard tool and is easily configured to match customer specific requirements within a fast and predictable deployment planning.
