It’s important to have a recording solution that not only works alongside existing technologies, but that can be utilized by multiple departments for a myriad of reasons.

When we asked broadcast engineers and stations managers what was most important to them in a recording solution, the following features stood out:

  1. Ad-verification
    Deliver fast and high-quality ad verification (proof of performance). Easily send commercial clips to customers. Simply clip and email.
  2. Airchecks
    Archive recordings for TV airchecks, giving the ability to monitor broadcasts and stay compliant with FCC regulations. Make airchecks easier with an all-digital solution that can replace DVRs and VHS tapes.
  3. Competitive intelligence
    Analyze your broadcasts and your competitor’s broadcasts side by side and in real-time. Give your programming and news staff access to multiple recordings, for quick comparison between competitors.
  4. Self-service clipping
    Don’t rely on time-wasting clip requests… your departments have more important things to do. Give your users the power to access recordings, make their own clips, and share to Twitter, Facebook & YouTube.
