Bridge Programming and Automation with PrepXpress

Improve efficiency, communication and accuracy with PrepXpress. This browser-based SIMS extension connects multiple systems and devices to provide a central source of programming data.

PrepXpress makes the Programming department’s SIMS program schedule available to Master Control and links it to an acquisition schedule and to-do list. Schedules are synchronized between Programming, Traffic and Master Control. Real-time data on each program’s recording and prepping status is accessible by every department.

Every program is prepped correctly with PrepXpress. The application monitors your automation database and play-out servers, checks that each program is accurately prepped and generates alerts when inconsistencies are identified. PrepXpress has the power to:

  • accept schedules from multiple SIMS sources (ideal for centralized or hubbed operations)
  • automatically compare acquired content to the SIMS schedule and ingest it
  • cross-reference future schedule data for an air-safe purge list
  • automatically prep shows delivered through Pathfire.
  • enable live communication across departments
  • track each user's role for improved accountability
