ForeTV turns Genius for EPG

July 2010

MSA Focus are pleased to announce the successful completion and delivery of yet another feature to provide ease of integration, in the continued development of ForeTV, their flagship broadcast management system

ForeTV now provides a comprehensive interface to HWW’s leading multi-platform EPG aggregation, management and delivery system EPGenius.

This interface, now live across all 127 channels at leading Malaysian satellite broadcaster, Astro, provides the ability to auto-generate series link ID’s and seamlessly transfer all schedule and programming EPG data while also ensuring that both systems are inline and up to date.

As part of this interface, ForeTV also leverages the benefits of its workflow capabilities, based on Microsoft’s Windows Communication Foundation and Workflow Foundation, to provide automatic EPG file exports. ForeTV will monitor specific locations for the arrival of new schedule information, which when identified, will be automatically imported into ForeTV and trigger the auto export of the associated EPG data.

With this and a host of other direct systems interfaces both existing and under development, ForeTV is providing not only ease of use, but ease of integration and implementation – a valuable thing in the fast moving multi-platform world of broadcast.
