Integrated Channel Launch Solution
As viewers continue to move beyond the traditional TV model in the ways they consume media, broadcasters around the world are looking for ways to expand their services, lower operating costs and improve output quality.

Today’s broadcasters need a powerful, streamlined channel launch solution that allows them to cost-effectively add new capabilities and tap new revenue streams in emerging delivery methods.
Harris® LaunchPad™ is a groundbreaking, fully integrated channel launch solution that utilizes the full breadth of the Harris portfolio’s interoperable capabilities to prepare content for playout to any of the growing number of distribution methods available to DTV broadcasters. From multichannel TV transmission to mobile TV and online content delivery, LaunchPad offers a robust, streamlined technology solution that enables any broadcast operation to cost-effectively and efficiently launch new channels today.

Benefits of an Integrated Workflow
LaunchPad delivers an intuitive, unified, fully automated solution that streamlines every stage of the channel launch workflow from switching, routing and branding to multi-source processing, monitoring and playout. The systems work seamlessly together — greatly simplifying workflow in multichannel broadcast environments. While the integration of the systems represents a compelling value proposition, each component can also be purchased separately and interfaced with third-party equipment.
From a support perspective, choosing a LaunchPad integrated channel launch solution enables broadcasters to maintain a single point of contact for both sales and support. From an operational perspective, LaunchPad delivers intelligent, dynamic communication among core systems in the master control room — optimizing the branding, switching and quality control of each signal being broadcast.
The result: improved output quality, rich image branding and increased overall advertising revenues — while providing your audience with a virtually unlimited array of new viewing experiences and reception options.
