Teletext and Digital Text solutions

Teletext provides a relatively low bandwidth medium for editing, managing and broadcasting text-based information. It also delivers a convenient ancillary data encoding method. Often this information has some commercial value, such as selling or promoting goods and services, as well as news, travel and sports pages.

Accurately getting this information to air at the right time is key, while ensuring the system is as efficient as possible, for example with automatic updates and remote editing. Teletext is a core competence at Softel, where a rich heritage over generations ofSoftel Cyclone Teletext solutions has led to the latest Microsoft Windows based Cyclone system.

The latest generation of Microsoft® Windows®-based Cyclone Teletext systems translates Softel’s extensive expertise into a highly dynamic and scalable management and transmission solution for traditional Teletext applications. Cyclone leverages the latest networking and internet technologies to offer high availability, remote editing and automated updates from external data sources, cost-effectively supporting highly dynamic Teletext services.

Three screen support (TV, Web & Mobile) is enabled with easy repurposing of content, with data export in a range of widely used formats. Cyclone also interfaces with Swift Create to enable insertion of Teletext subtitling.
