Avid AirSpeed

Countdown

Smooth playout operation and over-the-network AirSpeed control

Overview

Drag-and-drop playlist management and reliable playout control

AirSpeed CountDown handles control of the Avid AirSpeed I/O server for smooth playout operation anytime. Configured either for single AirSpeed server control or an entire AirSpeed Studio with up to five playback units, AirSpeed CountDown gives you the ability to view, manage, and edit playlists-and reliably play them to air, even when things change at the last moment. With mirrored playout on separate channels and automatic failover to a new channel-or a different server altogether-AirSpeed CountDown maintains protected, accurate on-air transmission of newscasts, commercial pods, and program playlists. Whether updating in real-time from an NRCS rundown, or manually selecting events in shotbox-style pushbutton mode, AirSpeed CountDown is flexible enough for changes right down to the wire. TF
