Media Validation

Media Validation on ICE LE is carried out on a separate server via delivery Grass Valley Recommends: to a watch folder. ICE LE has industry leading file format support, but every new project should have its playout content validated early on to ensure compatibility. Use our file checking service to ensure compatibility.

Delay Server If you have requirement to delay one or more of your channels, ICE LE can Ch-1 provide any amount of delay from 15 minutes to 12 hours (in increments of Ch-1 Delay server 10 minutes). Typical implementations are for +1 hour catch up services, or +1 HD +3 hour delays for US east/west coast differences. ICE can support either four SD delay channels, or two HD delay channels. ICE LE can either be a standalone delay server or it can delay an internally Ch-1 generated channel. +3 HD ICE’s unique internal architecture allows for different branding on the +n delay, and this branding can be simultaneously controlled from the same master playlist that controls your main channel. Automatic failure detection is used to insert a predefined Evergreen standby Ch-1 material for the amount of time the unit is offline, and this can be different +3 SD for each channel. Automatic recovery failure means frame accurately rejoining the delayed Evergreen Graphics playout with no manual intervention required to record and play the delay insertion insertion Ch-2 feed.
