New at NAB2007

NEW VERSION: OmniBus iTX 1.2 — OmniBus iTX is a revolutionary and category-defying product that replaces all of the functions of a broadcast master control and playout chain in a single software application.

iTX will also deliver a range of new features including multiple audio tracks for multi-language applications, open and closed captions, HD ingest, MXF and GXF support, and live instant playback for news, sports, and entertainment programs.
