July 24, 2008 2 Digital Broadcaster User Manual v. 3.4 rev. 3421
Introduction
The TelVue Digital Broadcaster is a professional quality digital video broadcast server. The
Digital Broadcaster combines broadcast automation, content management, and video server
functions all in a single server TV Station-in-a-Box. The Digital Broadcaster is Internet-
enabled and can be completely controlled locally or remotely via a web browser, and
supports standard protocols to transfer files on and off the video server. The Digital
Broadcaster may optionally control integrated video encoders, video switchers, legacy tape
deck devices and more. Some Digital Broadcaster models support integrated, dynamically
generated graphics overlays and lower thirds. The Digital Broadcaster may also be used in
conjunction with other TelVue servers and systems to create a scalable, end-to-end Digital
Video Broadcast and On-Demand System. This User Manual covers operations of the Digital
Broadcaster including setup, configuration, and operation.
Setting Up the Digital Broadcaster
The Digital Broadcaster can be set up and made operational in less than one hour. The
Digital Broadcaster is delivered pre-loaded with a collection of sample MPEG-2 videos and
JPEG pictures. Video playout is typically controlled through the Web Application, the
Digital Broadcaster’s web-browser based content management, broadcast automation, and
scheduling interface. Via this interface, the operator can define video playout and broadcast
event schedules and add and manage video titles.
The operator may also define a continuity event, a default video, graphic or switch event that
will play when no regular programming is scheduled. At the factory, the Digital Broadcaster
was configured with a continuity clip that will begin playing as soon as the server has
powered up and has launched the TelVue system and application software.
