Imagine ingesting sports events from coast to coast, monitoring your competition and performing on-air checks in HD simultaneously. Everyone wins with MediaCapture^TM, the powerful DVR solution from Bitcentral. Battles over ingest are old news.

MediaCapture automatically captures up to 10 simultaneous streams of SD or HD content and records them as MPEG-2 files. All functions can be controlled locally or remotely by up to 8 client machines running the software in your newsroom. Each feature is designed to make your workflow more flexible and more competitive. MediaCapture is ideal for any news environment and prized by sports journalists and news directors.

MediaCapture is an integrated DVR software and electronic program guide (EPG) solution. The EPG allows users to access broadcast, cable or satellite programming, then schedule content recording automatically. This system is capable of storing an average of 80 hours of SD or 36 hours of HD video. All 5 video cards accept 2 input signals per card including RF (NTSC), composite video, S-video, audio, digital ATSC or QAM.

Speed video on its way to air by incorporating Bitcentral’s SwiftEdit™ software for fast, render-free editing. Users can edit right on the client, send the file to the edit server and attach video for playout to air. MediaCapture even learns and transmits IR codes, enabling control of up to 3 set top boxes.

MediaCapture offers high Windows server-based performance at an affordable price. Bitcentral’s MediaCapture system also integrates seamlessly with Precis, Bitcentral’s non-proprietary news production system without tying up ingest assets in the feed room.
