AFFICHER – SPLIT SCREENS

SMOOTH SCREEN SPLITTING Screen splitting with significantly reduced screen jitters.

A physical screen can be split into up to three parts to play one video, display one still image and one scrolling ticker.Our newly developed playback engine significantly reduces jitters when splitting screens, which was quite noticeable.* The reduction is subject to the PC performance.

Three split screens (one video, one still image and one scrolling ticker) can be arranged in any pattern.

AFFICHER – REPORTING

DETAILED PC FAULT DETECTION REPORTING AND RECOVERY FUNCTIONS A change in resolution is automatically corrected to minimize the effects on playback.

If the settings (such as resolution and audio output) of the set-top box change due to a server fault or other such problem, the settings are automatically restored to the server-set settings. This will minimize the effects of broadcast troubles. In addition, the operator is immediately informed of problems for prompt detection and recovery.

CONTROL SCREEN IMAGE

AFFICHER effortlessly monitors and manages both display devices (refer to the next slide for supported manufacturers) and broadcast errors, significantly reducing the operational burden. Other systems only monitor the set-top box hardware.
