The Universal Automation Backup System (UABS) provides affordable, simple, easy-to-use, reliable playout control. UABS utilizes the existing playlists from your automation or traffic system. It controls program and commercial channel playout. You can manually build playlists and modify existing lists. UABS is a reliable hardware based solution standing by 24/7, to make sure that you stay on the air.
In an emergency, UABS allows you to manually roll Program (clip or tape) and still automate commercial break playout, or automate both program and commercial playout.
UABS supports one playlist, for a full or partial broadcast day, which contains time triggered, follow-along, and manually controlled elements. Also supports program segment playout. It also supports secondary GPOs. The playlist can be modified at any time-adding and removing elements, appending playlists - even while the list is playing out.
