Overview

MPEG compressed video underlies the basic infrastructure of all modern video distribution networks. Quite often content is distributed far afield from where it was created, by people who do not acknowledge its origins. The owners of content feel justified in branding their content with a small semi-transparent graphical logo that is not easy to remove. Also, everyone wants to generate extra revenue by inserting video or graphical adverts over or spliced into existing content. Others wish to add data or text to annotate the video or provide emergency alerts.

Our SSAI Ad Serter™ IP/ASI/SDI: ON PREMISES family of products is a cost-effective software-based system that inserts video clips, ads, graphics, text, and logos anywhere on your live or stored content in real time. As you may expect, it works by decoding the transport stream, overlaying the graphics, and transcoding the result. This process is computationally intensive and requires a 16 core processor to be effective.

Traditionally in North America, splicing local advertisements into live streams requires a playout server and SCTE 35 (for IP) or SCTE 104 (for SDI) based ad splicer. The SSAI Ad Serter combines the server and splicer, plus an SCTE 35 or SCTE 104 decoder. In other parts of the world, ad initiation arrives via IP or RS485 signaling.

The SSAI Ad Serter employs powerful Intel® Xeon® based hardware and very modular multi functional software platform. Traditional platforms use SDI signals to provide graphics solutions, but the SSAI Ad Serter works in both uncompressed and compressed video domains. This eliminates the need for additional decoders and encoders.

Traditional ad splicers do not allow operators to add any last minute alerts or scrolling text on top of the video. But with the SSAI Ad Serter, you can add any last minute offer as static or scrolling text or even a .png image on top of the video. As creating commercials is an expensive process, this last minute addition of promotional texts helps your clients get the maximum out of their ad campaigns.

The system also features ad inventory management with “as-played” reporting.

• Graphics can be created in several formats. The position of the graphics,

transparency, and fade characteristics can be configured via the management console.

• Graphical elements can be inventoried on the on board hard drive. Large local graphical libraries can be created for quick use under dynamic real world events.

• Fancy boxes, borders, background colors, and identifiers can also be used to enhance the video content. Inside these distinct areas you can insert scrolling or horizontally crawling text. Military customers will use this device to insert a moving icon that can be manipulated via a joystick.
