Used in the broadcast and cable television industry,
this off-line feed scheduling database utility tracks
virtually all syndicated program and network feeds
incoming to a facility from a variety of distributors
using numerous delivery systems. Feed Scheme offers
data import / export functionality and, as a planning
tool, is an adjunct to on-line feed scheduling and
control systems. Routinely handling 300+ weekly feeds
(and the frantic game of musical chairs that often
accompanies their new season rollouts and eleventh
hour refeeds), Feed Scheme allows the user to allocate
and rearrange often limited dish / receiver / record
device resources into an efficient feed event
acquisition scheme. In addition to conventional
satellite feeds, Feed Scheme allows for scheduling of
events from sources such as Pathfire and other catch
servers, fixed resource network feeds, production
control room feeds - in fact any feed that can be
found on any routing switcher crosspoint.
Feed Scheme runs on the widely available Microsoft
Excel platform, making it a highly cost effective tool
