Pittsfield Community Television Enhances Cable Network Operation with Tightrope Media Systems

Saint Paul, MN (PRWEB) March 28, 2012

Tightrope Media Systems is helping Pittsfield Community Television (PCTV) in Massachusetts more efficiently automate content across three cable channels using the company’s range of Cablecast automation and video server solutions.

PCTV, serving the Pittsfield, Dalton and Richmond communities, produces and broadcasts programming for three distinct channels: Access Pittsfield, a public access channel; Pittsfield ETV, showing educational programming; and government programming channel Citylink. Each station offers interactive bulletin boards, video-on-demand and live web streaming — all enabled through Tightrope Media solutions.

A longtime Cablecast customer, PCTV added Tightrope Media’s new Cablecast SX2HD platform to incorporate high-definition programming. The Cablecast SX2HD video server supports three channels (one in, two out), multi-format SD/HD encoding and decoding, and built-in content storage (16TB). PCTV has also established file-based workflows using Cablecast SX2HD, allowing the facility to work more efficiently by moving away from tape-based studio operations.

In addition to program scheduling and playout, Cablecast SX2HD incorporates Tightrope Media’s Carousel digital signage application to manage program graphics, channel logo insertion and bulletin board content created both in-house and from the community.

“Cablecast SX2HD is the central heart-pumping system for everything that runs through here,” said Shawn Serre, chief engineer, Pittsfield Community Television. “That seamless integration means we’re not dealing with a lot of different components and vendors that don’t work together. It makes the entire operation very reliable.”

The Cablecast SX2HD video server supports native playout of many different file formats, including MPEG2 I-Frame only (up to 100Mbps) and DVCPro HD and SD. This helps PCTV retain video quality and eliminate cumbersome content transcoding processes that many facilities experience upon migration to file-based workflows.

Serre adds that the efficiencies extend well beyond internal processes and onto the greater community through the interactive capabilities of Carousel.

“The built-in Carousel Framework allows viewers, as well as educational and government users, to create and submit messages for broadcast on the bulletin boards,” said Serre. “These are displayed to 20,000 households along with community info, weather data, RSS feeds and other content. Carousel also informs viewers about upcoming programs and schedules. It’s very vital to the workflow.”

Serre notes that Tightrope Media Systems has grown along with PCTV as it moves away from being strictly appointment television. Cablecast SX2HD’s automated operation extends to Cablecast video-on-demand (Cablecast ProVOD) and live streaming (Cablecast SX Live) solutions to help viewers consume content in new ways.

“The rise of new media means that people are hungry to consume content in non-traditional ways, so being able to provide television in different manners gives our viewers more options,” said Serre. “People are more likely to think of us a forward-thinking organization, which is important in community television. Tightrope has made it very efficient for us to automate channels and bulletin boards while moving to HD and file-based workflows.”

Hot Stocks Under 5.00 – Over the Counter Bulletin Board Stocks

hot Shares under 5.00

There are not many listing requirements to trade on the OTCBB. Counter Netherlands is a stock market or a stock exchange. Therefore, to become listed or remain listed requirements are minimal. If a company does not meet the minimum requirements, they move from the penny stocks rose leaves. OTCBB companies must file with the SEC in order to remain in good standing and must continue to file on time or they will be moved to the PINKSHEETS. Companies that can not stay current become delinquent. The symbol “E” is added to the delinquent commercial symbols companies. There is a grace period of 60 days where the company can regain its status as a reporting company and have the “E” symbol removed. After this period, the company is delisted.

“pump and dump” schemes are often hired on the OTCBB exchange. This system is to buy cheap over the counter stocks, the current share price for no reason, then the sale of such shares to unsuspecting investors. There are many methods used to raise the price of a OTCBB stock. The most common method is forums. There are many penny stocks forum where traders meet to discuss stocks. The OTCBB stocks are sold everywhere from 5.00 to less than a penny, with some as low as.0001 trading, these stocks can run up to hundreds of thousands of percent in one day. These large sets are not uncommon and forums are full of traders waiting for an action to perform. The criminal element and then purchases a large amount of shares at a low price and the stock starts to push through the forums driving up its price. At a time when companies are also involved and pay for “promotions” of their businesses so they can sell their shares at a higher price. hot Shares under 5.00

Not only micro cap trader have to worry about companies profiling their stock for gain, hot stock picks forum that push the price, but they also have to worry about internal fraud. The best way to trade OTCBB stock is knowledge, to take the time to read the documents from the SEC by calling the transfer agent to learn more about the structure of the action, and to contact the service companies in relationships with investors. Even when you complete all these steps and feel comfortable about the company, you look at the chart and buy what you feel is a good price, you can still be the victim of fraud.

Several times insiders control attic shares in companies they issue press releases touting how their business is and what a great future they have. The company has a solid share structure but behind the scenes, insiders are diluting shares while planning on filing or filing later wrongly. While prices soar, they “throw” the shares on the market. Nobody understands what happened, but all investors are left with nothing. This happens very often when OTCBB stock trading. If fraudsters are not caught, they will apply for consolidation, elimination of most or all of the shares they just dumped on the market while creating a beautiful structure of action seeking the society. Then they file a name change and symbol when planning to commit fraud again. These are not small-time crimes, some of these scams rake in millions of dollars.

We Care Chiropractic Gaining More Attention With New LED Sign From KC Sign

Downingtown, PA (PRWEB) August 18, 2014

We Care Chiropractic is a family owned office that offers full chiropractic and weight loss services. At their location in Downingtown, PA, they are situated along a major route running from town to town. They have approximately 20,000 cars that pass their location on a daily basis. Their existing sign was a changeable letterboard and it needed to be replaced. It took a lot of work to consistently change out the messages. They decided to purchase a completely new illuminated ID sign with an integrated full color LED sign from local sign company, KC Sign and Awnings.

“Not only did we have tons of people passing by our office, but traffic also comes to a complete stop during rush hour in the morning and afternoon which is a perfect opportunity to read all our messages; our old sign only allowed one!” stated Dr. Vince Fraumeni, owner of We Care Chiropractic.

KC Sign and Awnings met with Dr. Fraumeni and listened to his concerns and ideas for a new sign. They drafted up a new design; an internally illuminated ID cabinet with an integrated full color LED sign that allows their client to put up multiple dynamic messages at any time of the day. The scheduling feature even allows them to play specific messages during rush hour.

“[KC Sign and Awnings] did a great job, the sign really turned out great,” stated Dr. Vince Fraumeni.

Joe Clark with KC Sign stated, “This sign is a perfect example of what our company can accomplish for any business looking to attract the attention of everyone who drives by their location with a digital sign.”

Clark continued, “And, we recommended using Vantage LED for the LED display because of the quality they produce. When you put a large investment into a sign like this you want it to work and Vantage provides displays that carry a 5 year parts and labor warranty.”

Integrating LED signs with architectural signage can be challenging, but KC Sign & Awnings delivered with smart engineering, production, and quality components. They produced a landmark sign for We Care Chiropractic that will directly advertise to their target audience and bring that traffic straight to their doorstep.

KC Sign and Awnings has been providing interior and exterior signage to the Mid-Atlantic Region for over 20 years, and have seen steady growth over that time. Originally in a single 2,000 square foot building, they now operate 3 locations serving the PA, DE, NJ, and MD areas, and manufacture signage at their 25,000 square foot facility in Aston, PA. They offer a wide variety of sign products, including awnings, channel letters, digital printing, electric signs and more. Additionally, they provide a full range of services like permitting, design, installation, project management, and service calls both locally and nationwide.
