Westlake Village, CA (Sept 30, 2008) 360 Systems announces that the 2470 Broadcast Time Delay now supports PAL Video Indexing. Throughout much of Europe, the aspect ratio of displayed images is controlled through the transmission and reception of Video Index signals. 360 Systems' new software allows these Active Format Description and Aspect Ratio data to be passed through with frame accuracy.

Video Index data is received and transmitted on SD-SDI on lines 11 and 324, including all Class 1.1 data as defined by SMPTE RP-186-2008. The Time Delay also supports the use of WSS (Wide Screen Signaling) on any VBI line from 12 to 23, fields 1 and 2.

Leading broadcasters in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America and have embraced the 2470 Time Delay for program delivery in multiple time zones. Designed to compensate for time zone differences, the 2470 Time Delay can be programmed to any delay interval required, from 20 seconds to more than 24 hours. It is often used by broadcasters to delay incoming feeds for re-broadcast at a specific local time.

The 2470 Time Delay’s advanced feature set includes embedded audio, AES/EBU and analog audio, SDI and composite video, and all VBI data. Unique among delay products, 360 Systems’ offering is capable of maintaining single-frame accuracy over an infinite time period and features a multi-drive RAID array to ensure program delivery in the event of drive failure. The 2470 Time Delay is able to restart itself in the event of power loss, without user intervention.
