Production & Delivery

PLASMA is the world's leading teletext production and delivery system, and the PLASMA family offers complete end-to-end capability. It is used wherever teletext services are required – from large national broadcaster sites handling thousands of local and remote updates per hour, to hotels running services from a single PC. The benefits are the same for all users: PLASMA enables you to create and manage compelling teletext services simply and easily.

Pages and templates can be edited quickly and easily using the integrated WinSPRITE page editor, which offers advanced features for handling text, graphics import and alpha-graphics lettering. Page editing can also be achieved using a web browser, and page updates can be generated automatically from data feeds. Automated service management operations can be initiated by the built-in scheduler, which is also capable of triggering page-processing scripts.

Using the sophisticated page components capability of the PLASMA database, pages can be built from various layers: a TV station or regional branding banner, a content area, and an advertising strap. Each layer can be managed separately, enabling multi-channel and multi-region services to be operated very efficiently. Services can be managed using the intuitive Control Screen which provides drag-and-drop and mouse-based control of page location and parameters, with full multi-user locking and updating.

Real-time output is provided by our delivery gateways and advanced TDG-7 teletext inserters, which offer a range of transmission algorithms designed to speed up the page presentation to the viewer, as well as enabling completely flexible mapping of magazines to VBI lines. And reliability is at the core of the design: all PLASMA users have come to rely on its 24/7 availability, proven in countless operations worldwide.
