TB&A Digital Video Stations and Automation Systems
TB&A can design and install complete video automation systems suited for the special needs of Public, Educational and Medical facilities. TB&A’s systems feature specially engineered hardware and software to provide complete programming management, including videotape automation and digital server technology, in one seamless analog to digital broadcast station. These "turnkey" solutions provide a complete path from a manual, analog system to a fully automated digital broadcasting operation which makes the most effective use of budget dollars and existing resources. Digital Automation Systems are designed to be expandable and can also be configured with a Web Server for Web Access and Web Casting services to extend community outreach. Individual system components can vary depending on application. Some examples of equipment used in TB&A systems are shown below.

Synergy Broadcast Systems provides digital, analog and hybrid VOD solutions for a variety of applications including education, training, and business communications.
The VOD interface is browser-based and provides the user with the ability to find and select programming based on:
| Title Name |
|
Category or Subcategory Listing |
| Alphabetic Listing |
|
Source listing such as producer |
| Numeric Title number |
|
Key word or key phrase search |
Descriptive information on each title is contained in the database so users can learn more about a program before watching. Viewing options include video to the desktop, televisions, digital displays, projectors and touch screens depending on your application.
Certain versions of this software also provide the ability to schedule programming rather than view it on demand. This is especially helpful in classroom and training applications when time planning is important.
A complete Reports Module is included to provide system usage statistics which can include user reports for documenting training and education, title reports, departmental reports and specialty administrative reports.
Programming can be delivered over Local or Wide Area networks, MATV closed circuit cable systems, broadband systems or ITFS delivery networks.
Synergy VOD systems can include full digital content, realtime streaming of analog programs, cable TV, live programs and satellite programs with delivery over virtually any network or delivery system.
For training and education environments a Testing Module is available and tests can be created and tied to specific video programs. Test are delivered using a web browser and results can be stored or emailed.
Synergy Broadcast System’s Video On Demand application is easy-to-use, flexible and economically scalable to meet the needs of virtually any facility.
