Years of focus and persistence have enabled our team to accumulate extensive theoretical and practical experience. Through requirements analysis of most domestic TV stations and performance analysis of comparable international products, we developed a complete, efficient, and advanced Unified Control Platform (iSwiftMedia) for production and playout systems. The platform has been deployed at multiple provincial and municipal TV stations nationwide. The automation control systems built for CCTV, Chongqing TV, Nanjing TV, and Hangzhou TV received the Science and Technology Innovation Award from the National Radio and Television Administration (broadcast industry regulator), serving as a model for successful automation and intelligent operation of TV production and playout systems.
Application of Compact Control Platform Software on the Sony OB40 OB Van

The OB40 OB Van (outside broadcast van) is a cost-effective 4+2+2 channel OB Van (outside broadcast van) newly launched by Sony China. Built on broadcast-grade mainstream equipment and converted from Mercedes-Benz, IVECO and other commercial box vehicles, it addresses the limitations of large-scale broadcast systems in certain scenarios, meeting the demand for an entry-level OB Van (outside broadcast van) for outdoor small-to-medium variety shows, talk shows, news interviews, and similar programs requiring recording and live broadcasting.
As a compact OB Van (outside broadcast van), the need for control functions is clear and essential. The control system serves as the nerve center of the OB Van (outside broadcast van), enhancing overall system intelligence and convenience, improving program production efficiency and user experience, and increasing user satisfaction. Given the OB40's compact size, a space-efficient and highly reliable control system is required. The Compact Control Platform is a high-performance, high-density, highly reliable control system platform built on an embedded environment. Its core consists of software function modules running on the platform. Different software function modules can be selected and combined on the unified hardware platform to serve as a Tally system, matrix system, or monitoring system. The platform also comes with mobile clients including a WEB Portal client, Microsoft tablet client, Android tablet client, SMS client, and WeChat client. It is particularly suitable for use in space-constrained vehicle environments such as OB Vans (outside broadcast vans) and satellite uplink vehicles / DSNG vehicles.
