While static interactive applications can be a great addition to a linear program, the ability to insert dynamic content and to trigger live events in an application leads to a truly compelling interactive experience. Modelstream Broadcast enables this experience.

Utilizing its advanced feature set, interactive applications produced using Modelstream can make use of tracking data and events allowing for frame accurate synchronization between the underlying visual content and the interactive application. Modelstream Broadcast manages this synchronisation ensuring the successful delivery of interactive applications on time every time.

Modelstream Broadcast also manages the dynamic updating of applications on the Set Top Box, for example, in sports or news applications. The content for these dynamic updates can be manually entered or ingested from a number of existing sources, such as RSS feeds or existing publishing and content management systems.

Modelstream Broadcast can be linked to an existing control system for the playout of applications, or it can be manually controlled via the remote graphical user interface. This control interface allows you cue, play and pause multiple interactive applications in multiple regions. Additionally for live shows, the control interface allows for the insertion of live trigger events into the application stream.

Modelstream Broadcast features include:

Interfaces with multiple data streamers for application play-out.
Automatic application play-out via Station Control System.
Manually control through a graphical user interface.
Support for Louth Video Disk Communications Protocol.
Support for multiple applications to be cued for play-out.
Automatic insertion of dynamic content at playout time.
Insertion of live events into application stream at playout time
