FieldStation42: Broadcast TV Simulator & Scheduler
FieldStation42 is an open-source broadcast TV simulator designed to help users schedule and simulate live television channels. It allows creation of custom schedules, playback of media content as per the schedule, and experimentation with broadcast logic.
Project Introduction
Summary
FieldStation42 is a project focused on building a robust and flexible simulation environment for broadcast television channels. It provides tools for defining content, scheduling programs, and running simulated broadcasts.
Problem Solved
Simulating broadcast schedules and channel programming for testing, educational, or creative purposes is often complex and requires specialized software. FieldStation42 provides an accessible, flexible platform to address this need.
Core Features
Advanced Scheduling Engine
Define and manage custom channel schedules with granular timing and content slots.
Multi-format Media Handling
Integrate various media files (videos, images, audio) for playback during simulations.
Realistic Simulation Mode
Run simulations to visualize and verify schedules before actual broadcast or use.
Tech Stack
Use Cases
FieldStation42 can be applied in various scenarios where broadcast scheduling simulation is beneficial:
