Content Acquisition / Capture

Radio and TV Station Capture and Storage

The foundation of AdKontrol is a capture and recording system based on our VideoPhill suite. It is easy to set up, can be used in networked installations (i.e., geographically distributed recorders), and allows most input types. (Learn more about VideoPhill's capabilities at www.videophill.com)

VideoPhill supported media sources include, but are not limited to:

  • Analog TV stations (PAL, NTSC, ...) via antenna or set top box
  • DVB-T/DVB-C stations (MPEG and h.264, FTA only)
  • DVB-S stations (FTA only)
  • Internet radio streams (multiple protocols: shoutcast, icecast, rtmp, windows media, flash, ...)
  • Encrypted TV stations via external set top boxes

For geographically distributed recording locations, content can be moved via the public Internet or private WANs and LANs.

Recordings are kept for a minimum of one month, but may be archived for any length of time depending on hard drive space allotment.

If someone else is doing the recording already, existing files can be converted, imported and used in the AdKontrol system as if they were natively recorded in VideoPhill.

If the content is available on-line via internet streaming, regardless of the protocol, that allows for possibility of the fastest system deployment with literally zero up-front investment for capture hardware.
