Basic function and product overview
TV Mode
CONTACT is a fast and reliable system for TV producers and TV stations of any size wanting to incorporate interactive messaging elements such as SMS, MMS, or user-generated video clips into their TV shows. CONTACT does this quickly and easily, without any complicated transfers.
CONTACT is compatible with any UGC format you may receive.
CONTACT combines three elements:
© reads any incoming format
© easy-to-use content management system
© output to the studio or to any website
CONTACT reacts promptly to global news
The system recognizes all message formats (see factsheet), and will generate an MXF format close to real time. This file will be managed and edited via the management cockpit. Spelling mistakes will be corrected and statements that are politically incorrect or just too long will be edited in seconds. Video material will be tailored using the video editor. The flow of information will generate on-screen audience contributions without additional reformatting, editing or conversion processes. The signal will be pushed on screen by a touchscreen menu operated directly by the host (option) or directly out of the system. At the same time, all content can be pushed to any website connected to the system. Content can be found and published easily using the background archive. Issues can be discussed in online forums and blogs. Such forums or polls will be added to individual opinions and will be visualized in the TV show.
