Our state-of-the-art database technology enables you to deliver your station's listings schedule to your Press Office, the Media, Electronic Programme Guides (EPGs) and Internet/Intranet web sites.
The benefits of using our superb SuperEPG system are enormous. SuperEPG offers your scheduling department/press officer common preset options to suit the specific needs of your internal requirements and external publishers of your data. With no programming knowledge required you can produce superb looking chronological listings for popular applications such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, HTML/XML and raw EPG systems such as BSkyB.
SuperEPG takes advantage of TV Media's huge experience in providing publishers with TV listings. Simply put, we know what your clients want.
The system itself centres around an easy-to-use database system. With an intuitive front-end, all you have to do is fill in the programme fields (e.g. Date, Title, Description, EPG_Description, Genre, etc.) or recall your skeleton schedule from the previous week. Behind-the-scenes clever programming takes care of items such as time duration, sorting, genre tagging, series-linking and more. All those time-consuming entry fields are taken care of.
It also keeps track of character counts; limiting how many characters can be input into certain fields so that you are within the boundaries of EPG specifications (eg. BSkyB.)
It all sounds great, but what does it require and how much does it cost?
SuperEPG is available on both Windows and Linux platforms. The Windows version is compatible with Windows95, 98, SE, NT, ME, 2000, and XP, and the Linux runs smoothly on popular Linux systems such as Red Hat. SuperEPG is an extremely powerful product yet the footprint is very small; minimum system requirement is only Intel-based Pentium 2, 300Mhz system with 640mb RAM and 10mb hard-disc space. The system can run in a multi-user environment with a relative charge for extra user licenses.
We have developed two distinctive products, targeting multi-channel setups and single channel broadcasters. Both have multi-user options at an additional cost. We also offer a flexible training-support contract for each option. Our prices start from £5000 per annum and we can advise you on the best specification to suit your company when you call.
