Overview

Sundance Digital Titan

Sundance Digital Titan is designed around a distributed processing model which separates the on-air interface from the actual playlist controller. Titan's List Processor is a compact executable whose only mission is to run playlists with frame accuracy. With only a status and maintenance GUI, multiple List Processors can run concurrently per workstation. Each List Processor is independent, with its own SQL server and frequently refreshed copy of the media database. For even greater fault-tolerant redundancy, add TitanSync to mirror the List Processors.



Titan comes standard with SIDON Device Control - which stands for Sundance Integrated Device Operations Network, our powerful, expandable TCP/IP-based machine control architecture. SIDON frame-accurately controls most broadcast hardware. Drivers are continually added to our pool of "Sundance Certified" devices, and users in good standing have unlimited access to the full library at no added cost.

Titan benefits from a decade of Sundance Digital's transmission automation experience, and takes advantage of proven Sundance technologies, such as Intelli-Sat for satellite recording and Sundance Archive Manager to manage near-line archiving. Titan owners can be assured of a robust automation system that will meet both current needs and future expansion plans.

Every Titan system includes a custom-written traffic interface. Software comes pre-installed on rack mountable (4RU) enterprise-grade Pentium-based Windows workstations with mirrored hard drives and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies for greater reliability. Redundancy may be even further enhanced by adding a fault-tolerant external SQL Data Server and TitanSync with auto-failover capability. Expand and upgrade Titan even further by adding playlists or functionality options, such as News Recorder to automate the process of re-purposing live programming recorded to the video server or Web Inventory, included with the Sundance SQL Data Server.
