The number of vendor specific playout and edit systems continues to increase year on year. Consequently, the different types of media and metadata files required by broadcasters follows suit. The unfortunate result is a complex system that compromises quality through multiple transcoding. All this increases the potential for lost air time because of human error in highly automated playout systems causing unnecessary delays in the programme chain.
