Broadcasters set to benefit from improved Emergency Alert System in partnership between Digital Alert Systems and Ateme
In a move aimed at enhancing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of emergency alert systems (EAS) for broadcasters and cable operators, Digital Alert Systems and Ateme have announced a collaboration.
The partnership, spearheaded by Ateme's CEO, Arnaud Souêtre, and Digital Alert Systems' Vice President of Business Development, Bill Robertson, seeks to bring an innovative solution to market. The collaboration will introduce the Digital Alert Systems' EAS-Net device networking protocol into Ateme's TITAN line of SD, HD, and UHD encoders.
One of the key benefits of this integration is the elimination of the need for additional hardware or software to provide full EAS text crawl and audio capabilities across all streams from the Ateme units. Users no longer need multiple DASDEC clients or one unit per stream to support the comprehensive EAS solution.
The partnership also aims to increase redundancy and reduce potential points of failure. The addition of EAS-Net introduces a new mode that supports hybrid virtualization at a significantly lower cost than previous methods.
Fred Ramsey, Director of ATSC Sales at Ateme, expressed pleasure about offering EAS-Net within the TITAN encoders, stating that it streamlines airchains and reduces costs. The level of flexibility provided by the integration allows broadcasters to ensure that critical emergency alerts reach viewers more efficiently and reliably.
The integration of Digital Alert Systems' EAS-Net with Ateme's encoding systems allows for a single-interface approach, reducing equipment footprints and simplifying system design. The direct connection eliminates the need for added hardware or software, making the new method an attractive option for smaller broadcasters and those looking to implement more flexible, IP-based workflows.
Digital Alert Systems' EAS-Net has become the de facto standard for linking equipment together for EAS information exchange. The configuration process has been simplified, requiring only a network connection between the two systems.
