VIO 4 plus

Overview

Cablecast VIO 4 plus is a high-I/O video server for cable playout, with four dedicated outputs, up to four inputs, and up to two encode channels. It runs on Cablecast automation, so you schedule your content and Cablecast handles the rest.

What it does

Schedule your programming and Cablecast controls playback, on-demand and OTT publishing, graphic announcements, and schedule promotion, then reports on playout and viewer metrics. It plays the widest range of digital formats and codecs, with SD-to-HD up-conversion and HD-to-SD down-conversion built in, so no transcoding is required. It also natively decodes, plays, and records network streaming formats including RTP, RTMP, and HLS. Channel branding with crawls, station bugs, and bug text is included, along with meeting indexing that lets viewers jump to a chapter and open attached agendas.

Maximum I/O for busy facilities

Eight SDI ports give you up to four dedicated outputs and four inputs, with up to two encode channels for live capture. It ships with 10 TB of RAID5 storage, factory-upgradeable to 40 TB, and redundant power.
