Traffic Connect with mediaSaaS Microservices

We are business partners with MediaGenix and MSA Focus and integrate with their WhatsOn and Fore TV Pulse Traffic/Broadcast Management Systems

Our API integration enables media created in the Broadcast Management system (BMS) to populate our database together with TX/Streaming date. Media prep is then prioritized and presented in a dashboard. Media status and duration metadata are passed back to the BMS as media is processed by our platform

This pre-integration enables us to deliver fully integrated systems very quickly

Our underlying architecture is an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and so in addition to the media integration we can also provide as apps running on the ESB many of the customisations typically needed for a BMS deployment. Then instead of the BMS needing to be a custom build a vanilla build can simply be deployed, drastically shortening the delivery time

Metadata In

The microservice customisation varies for each customer but could include:

Tx schedule import for pass-through channels
As-run logs from linear channel automation systems
Rights metadata from Rights Management System
Generic EPG from BMS

The microservices receive metadata in proprietary format and convert to a BMS house format. Connecting to additional platforms simply requires additional microservices to be run on the ESB.

Metadata Out

Many customers use a number of different automation systems and VOD platforms to deliver their content. Our microservices can provide:

Automation playlists in multiple proprietary formats, parsed by channel
VOD catalogues
EPGs in multiple formats delivered to Conditional Access System, Web, OTT etc
Long & short file names to accommodate limitations in legacy systems
Image Library to store & deliver poster images for VOD content
