SoftLab-NSK offers the IPOut (MPEG2, AVC) and ASIOut (MPEG2, AVC) options for the users who have already purchased some products of the ForwardTx product line (analog broadcast) and for those who want to organize digital broadcast in addition. The options are designed for shifting smoothly from analog to digital broadcast. Received from the FD300 board output video and sound are compressed into the MPEG2 or AVC format and are transmitted via IP or ASI interface.

This software is used to output data in the form of titles in TV programs (news, round-table discussion, debates etc.) on-the-fly.
It allows to create and to configure an output template, i.e. its appearance and location of fields with comments on PC screen. This template is used during the air and provides with necessary text information (e.g. name and surname of the speaker, his/her position etc.).
This software can be also used for displaying of votes results.
