Tightrope Media Systems has launched Cablecast Version 7.9, introducing AI-powered indexing, enhanced accessibility and workflow improvements for government meetings and community media centers.

Key updates in Cablecast 7.9:

• Bulk Actions: Allows users to edit multiple shows simultaneously, reducing duplicate efforts. Users can delete VOD files, update metadata or adjust producer information across multiple shows at once.
• Enhanced Accessibility: Cablecast Internet Channels now align with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), offering closed captions, translations, audio descriptions and screen reader-friendly navigation for live and on-demand video streaming.
• Cablecast Smart Summary: This AI-powered feature automatically indexes, transcribes and summarizes government meetings, creating searchable, editable transcriptions and video chapters that sync with agendas.

Cablecast Smart Summary enhances transparency by making government meetings more accessible and reducing manual effort. For VOD viewers, it enables users to quickly jump to specific discussions, agenda items and votes within meetings.
