Partners

The success of BCM technology deployments has relied on complex integrations with leading technology providers in the cable and broadcast industries. BCM has fostered numerous partnerships with technology providers to ensure that our products are compatible with and elegantly implemented into broadcast and cable provider infrastructure.

Broadcast Equipment Interoperability
BCM and broadcast technology vendors have worked closely together to bring EBIF interactivity to broadcast stations so that EBIF data PIDs can be accurately and safely added to the broadcast stream. PSIP generators provide necessary data to correctly identify EBIF data generated by Onyx in the digital stream. Multiplexers receive the EBIF data input from Onyx and combine it with the correct program stream. Automation systems provide automated triggers for inserting Clickable Moments, streamlining workflow within the station.
Cable Equipment Interoperability
Groomers located at the cable headend map the EBIF data PIDs from the broadcast stream input to the correct QAM output. EBIF user agents reside on set-top boxes and run EBIF applications to render the interactive events. Ad servers located in a cable headend play ads with EBIF data (pre-bound) or without EBIF data so that it can be added "on the fly" (late-bound).
