coralbay.tv to demonstrate newly launched captioning product and new playout features at NAB 2024

Leeds, UK, 26th March , 2024 – Cloud playout specialist coralbay.tv Ltd announced today that the company will exhibit at NAB 2024 and is looking forward to demonstrating its new coralCaption product as well as a range of new features recently added to its flagship coralPlay, coralMAM and coralFlow products.

coralCaption inserts captions into live transport streams without decoding and then re-encoding. The caption data is generated automatically using AI tools or is entered by users reviewing the audio and video from an automatically generated proxy. The product is built on coralbay.tv’s microservices-based platform and can be hosted in any public cloud or on-premises.

Recent enhancements to coralPlay include:

• A new live input framework that provides for live input switching in IP. Rather than decoding all incoming sources in case a user might want to switch to any source, which is inefficient and costly, the system pre-empts via the playlist schedule. If any live events are scheduled in the playlist, the system decodes those sources in advance in the order that they are needed so that they are available at the right time. Other sources are not decoded until they are either scheduled or there is a request by an operator.
• Event transitions have been added. It is now possible to schedule V fades, cut-fades and fade-cuts via the playlist and to select slow, medium or fast transition rates.
• It is now possible to lock the on-air event in view so that if an operator scrolls down the playlist, the on-air event is always displayed at the top of the playlist.
• Blocks can be defined in the playlist using tags and markers. Controls, such as GoTo Next block type, can be applied to the blocks. This could be used for example to go to the next commercial block as soon as possible, irrespective of what is scheduled next in the playlist. In this case, all events from the current event until the next commercial block are skipped. Blocks are visually identified in the playlist to make it easier for operators to view and create blocks.
• Configurable event state names and colours. It is now possible for users to configure event state names and colours to suit their preferences.

In addition, coralbay.tv will also be demonstrating recently added features to coralMAM and coralFlow.

The company will be exhibiting on stand no SL.4084.
