VIO Lite

Cablecast VIO Lite is the entry-level two-channel video server for cable playout, configurable as two outputs or as one encode and one playout channel. 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.

Entry-level playout

Two SDI ports are configurable as two outputs, or as one encode and one playout channel. This compact 2 RU model ships with 8 TB of internal storage and a solid-state system drive. For RAID-protected, expandable storage and redundant power, choose VIO 2.
