Telos Alliance will show a new 25-Seven product, the PDMX program delay manager, at the 2024 NAB Show.
25-Seven PDM products provide seamless removal of objectionable content from live programming. PDMX brings this essential functionality into the virtual realm.
“A software implementation of the industry-standard PDM II Program Delay Manager, PDMX incorporates all the features and functions broadcasters have come to depend upon, optimized for pure AoIP and virtualized production environments,” the company says.
“Flexibly designed to match client deployment preferences, PDMX can be hosted on-premises using a COTS server, on cloud-based platforms like AWS, or on the new Telos Alliance AP-3000 hardware platform.”
Features to ensure program integrity include up to 99 seconds of stereo audio delay, a unique “dump” function that selectively removes objectionable content, and a feature called Overkill that allows for seamless insertion of show-specific fill files to maintain uninterrupted broadcast flow.
Also standard is the PD-Alert system, which automatically notifies station personnel via email and provides time-stamped audio files for review whenever the Dump function is activated.
“Multiple methods of delay construction are offered, from pre-rolling to time expansion or playback of locally stored audio files, ensuring precise control over content delivery,” Telos states.
It says PDMX’s audio algorithms ensure artifact-free audio even during buffer construction, and support synchronization with metadata and GPIO closures for enhanced broadcast management.
PDMX offers Livewire+AES67 connectivity and includes up to 20 Livewire GPIOs and LWRP protocol support for native integration with Axia Pathfinder.
