MASSTECH CatchBLUE

File Based Media Delivery Management

CatchBLUE® is a Special Edition of our version 7.5 software for aggregation of file based media services from satellite or IP including comprehensive integration with DG FastChannel® Spot Box HD Xtreme™ and PathFire® Digital Media Gateway™. It is the first solution to fully support the new PitchBlue™ syndicated content delivery service and Javelin advertising content delivery.

Content is aggregated from all sources and then moved automatically to speci¬fied locations throughout the facility including nearline disk storage and video servers. Lab tests have proven CatchBLUE to transcode 3 to 4 times faster than competing solutions on the market, saving broadcasters the need for more hardware when volume transcoding is required. Another advanced feature in CatchBLUE is its ability to make ITU audio levelling adjustments on the same path as the target transcode, while all other solutions require multiple passes. CatchBLUE creates low resolution proxies, re-wraps and transcodes content automatically along the way to its final destination.
