VT Scheduler PRO™

Broadcast Automation in a Box!

Video Technics offers a fusion of functionality and delivers a complete solution to migrate from legacy systems to a fully-integrated automation solution at your own pace. It is an intelligent choice that allows you to evolve towards a money-saving “channel-in-a-box” system without fork-lifting your entire existing facility.

VT Scheduler PRO eliminates the traditional, serial-based, proprietary boxes within the broadcast chain by using all off-the-shelf, IT-based components to provide high definition playout, graphics, effects, and switching while retaining control of best-of-breed 3rd party devices. You choose the optimum technology for the budgetary and technical needs of your facility.

Seamless interoperability with Pitch Blue, DG Fast, Pathfire, and other content distribution servers ensure the fastest media preparation with minimal user intervention.

Combined with an Apella video server network the VT Scheduler PRO software orchestrates highly automated, frame-accurate multi-channel playout and ingest capability. The proven software operates on an Apella server as a standalone integrated box, or as part of a complex mixed network of legacy equipment and functionality.
