V8 Omni-media Intelligent Platform——Broadcast Audio Playout Suite

V8 Omni-media Intelligent Platform

Broadcast Audio Playout System

Overview

Broadcast Audio Playout system is a core component of the V8 Omni-media Intelligent Platform, designed to deliver stable, intelligent, and flexible broadcasting capabilities. It supports multiple application scenarios and deployment modes, meeting the needs of radio stations, schools, hotels, and rural-urban institutions worldwide.

Intelligent Broadcast Control

Flexible Control

Supports three broadcast modes: automatic, live broadcast assistant, and adapts to recorded broadcasts, live broadcasts, and emergency insertions.

Visualized broadcast

Broadcast control separation

The system operates in service mode, maintaining scheduled broadcasts even if the front-end interface crashes.

Long program insert

Ads can be inserted at regular intervals during the program, and the show resumes automatically afterward.

Multi-channel output

The host, preview, and jingle tracks support customizable physical sound cards and AoIP sound cards for multi-channel output.

Multi-user collaboration

Jingle supports multi-user sharing, and audio effects can be played with a single shortcut key.

Main-standby mute control

Standby device auto-mutes when the main device is outputting; standby device auto-unmutes if the main device malfunctions.

The signal channel can be switched by using the switch and matrix.

Built-in manual and automatic recording modules.

Customizable daily on-air/off-air times and automatic filler music settings by time slot, suitable for school and enterprise clients.

Intelligent Insertion

Automatically resumes playback from the original program's breakpoint with a 5-second buffer

You can insert precise 1-second and 0.5-second promotional ads into long-duration audio programs like TV series without editing splits. After the ad ends, the system automatically resumes playback from the original program’s breakpoint with a 5-second buffer, seamlessly blending the program and ad for a natural transition.

Intelligent Loudness Control

The system supports real-time audio loudness processing, in line with international ITU-R BS.1770-3, EU EBU-R128 and other standards.

Auto-Matching Filler Music

Auto-Matching Fill Music for smoother audio transitions based on gap length.

Flexible Deployment Solutions

SaaS + Local Broadcasting Simplified Deployment

All acquisition, editing, and scheduling tasks are completed in the cloud. On-premises, only a single playout Server, is required, which synchronizes with the program schedule and media assets to enable automated playout.

·Ideal for small-scale operations with limited staff, such as villages, schools, and hotels.

·The playout server connects to cloud services through a security isolation device, supporting basic security schemes such as dual network cards and gateways, or the transparent deployment of a data diode.

·This self-contained playout solution ensures critical broadcast operations—including basic control, log editing, and emergency clip playback—continue without cloud connectivity.

SaaS + Integrated Production & Broadcasting

The broadcast network deploys an integrated production and broadcasting server, a program scheduling station, and a broadcasting station. Basic scheduling and broadcasting can be completed locally, while seamlessly accessing various cloud capabilities and materials.

The broadcast network is securely connected to the office network through the gateway. The broadcast network can access cloud services, and the work center of the office network can also access the broadcast network services through the gateway.

Optional production library (media asset) service can be deployed on the broadcast server. The broadcast system can operate independently without a production library.

Optional media asset management system: Deployable on the broadcasting server for users requiring local production libraries (non-mandatory for independent system operation).

SaaS + Separated Production & Broadcasting

Separates the production network and broadcasting network, realizing the “large-scale production, small-scale broadcasting” concept.

The production network operates closer to the internet for convenient content creation and sharing; broadcasting remains unaffected if the production network crashes.

Dedicated local production library (similar to professional audio media assets) with management systems, supporting recording/editing software login, storage, and project management.

Workstations can connect to the production library for material browsing and import to the broadcasting library.

Supports simultaneous access to local and cloud production libraries via recording/editing software; unfinished projects can be saved locally or in the cloud for remote editing.

Separate the production network from the broadcasting network, and practice the design concept of "large production, small broadcasting

The production network operates independently in an internet-adjacent environment, enabling seamless content creation and sharing. Even if the production network fails, it won’t disrupt the broadcast network’s normal operation.

The local production library is a dedicated audio asset with a management system that provides login, storage, and project management services for recording editing software. The work center can connect to the production library to browse and store materials.

After enabling the cloud production library, the recording editing software on the production network can log in to both the local and cloud production libraries simultaneously. Uncompleted projects can be stored locally or in the cloud, and external network continuation is supported.
