Cuba HDP by Pace Media This is a 24/7 channel-in-a-box playout system combining video playout, on-air graphics, playlist management and transfer management in a single server solution.

The playout server handles SD/HD/4K UHD workflows, integrates live feeds from SDI or UDP, external triggers such as GPI events, as well as real-time graphics from simple channel branding to complex designs such as corner logos, lower thirds and tickers that update from RSS feeds, XML data sources and remote databases.

Besides SDI output up to 4K UHD, Cuba HDP comes optional with an H.264 encoder and closed-caption subtitle generator which allows delivery of UDP and ASI feeds directly from the playout server. The Cuba HDP also features a web-based playout management option, enabling operators to plan and import playlists, monitor playout servers and manipulate the rundown, as well as granting them control over an unlimited number of playout servers, regardless of the servers’ location across the globe.

The Cuba Playout Management tools offer remote control and management of playlists and servers allowing the operation of decentralised playout centres around the world. The Cuba HDP supports major broadcast video file containers and codecs.
