How AI is used

oasys is an integrated playout platform for the broadcasting industry. It combines functions including file preparation, captioning, subtitling, graphics, scheduling, and switching into a single system to support on-air presentations.

The software is designed for TV stations, video producers, and academic institutions that manage multi-channel playout of live and pre-recorded content. It supports channel redundancy configurations and works with other BroadStream tools such as VoCaption for automated speech recognition.

Buyers should confirm their specific requirements for time delay and captioning, as BroadStream offers specialized tools such as ARMADA for fixed time delay and VoCaption for live ASR. Due to the technical nature of the system, teams should verify hardware compatibility and internal engineering capabilities before implementation.
