ShowTimer - Pre-Air Automation

Program acquistion from satellite becomes a simple process with ShowTimer. It eliminates human errors, reduces scheduling time and distributes information faster than humanly possible. ShowTimer is fully operational in major broadcast facilities throughout the World.

ShowTimer moves the dishes and tunes the receivers, routes the signals into the record machine and tests it for head clogs. It times the shows, not only for commercial breaks but also for internal barter spots and puts the information directly into the database to be shared with other software programs including traffic. When used in combination with AirBoss, our On-Air Presentation System, program material can go from satellite to transmitter totally unattended.

ShowTimer uses the the most powerful scheduling system in the industry. It schedules recordings for this week, next month, next year and even years into the future.

ShowTimer offers the only true acquisition traffic system available today. It greatly reduces input time, input errors and human intervention. A Monday through Friday record request is entered one time into the system and can continue for years. Entries can be made directly from the traffic department. Scheduling conflicts can be discovered and eliminated months in advance. Fewer refeeds, emergency deliveries, entry and timing errors which result in in blown spots or other on-air mistakes all add up to substantial cost savings for any facility.
