A new version of Audimus.Media

Live captioning is often described as a speech-recognition task. In a broadcast environment, recognition is only one part of the operation. Teams also need to schedule the right channel, apply the correct language and output configuration, supervise the live signal, respond to errors and keep captions moving towards the intended destination.

Audimus Media 7.3.19 strengthens these operational controls. The release gives teams more precise ways to manage recurring schedules, improves the resilience of live monitoring, applies role-aware actions and adds a configurable caption-delivery path for compatible Cobalt ancillary-data hardware.

The result is not a different captioning objective. It is a more controlled way to prepare, operate and support the live workflow around it.

Keep schedule exceptions separate from the series

Recurring programmes are useful because teams can define a pattern once and reuse it. The difficulty appears when one occurrence needs to change. A programme may start later on a particular day, be skipped for a special transmission or need to return to its original scheduled time after an exception.

Audimus Media 7.3.19 distinguishes the recurring series from one projected occurrence. Authorised users can edit one occurrence, restore its scheduled times, skip it, undo a recent skip or recover it while the safe operational window remains available.

These actions include immediate control locking, progress feedback, duplicate protection and refresh from authoritative schedule data. The objective is to reduce conflicting submissions and help the schedule shown to the user reflect the result accepted by the system.

The capability complements existing channel-overlap and licensed-capacity checks. It does not remove the need to validate recurrence, timezone and capacity behavior in the deployed environment, particularly when client and backend components are upgraded together.

Make live supervision follow the operator's current context

During a live event, operators need to see the task state, video, current captions and audio energy associated with the channel they are supervising. When they change task or channel, monitoring must change with them.

Version 7.3.19 strengthens the lifecycle of the live caption and audio-energy streams used by the web console. Obsolete streams are closed after context changes, and late information from a previous task is prevented from being applied to the current view. This reduces the risk of duplicate data or an outdated monitoring session continuing after navigation.

The release also introduces bounded automatic retry for eligible live tasks that enter an error state. This can support faster recovery in defined conditions, but it is not a promise of uninterrupted output. Repeated error transitions still require investigation, supported by task logs and the relevant deployment context.

Align operational actions with real responsibilities

Live captioning environments involve different responsibilities. User administration, model and licence configuration, event scheduling and live control do not always belong to the same person.

Audimus Media now applies a central role policy across four personal project roles: Administrator, System Administrator, Manager and Operator. Routes and actions are filtered according to the current policy, and important permissions are checked again when an action executes.

This creates clearer separation between technical administration, scheduling and live operation. For example, an Operator can supervise and apply permitted controls to a current event without receiving access to create schedules or administer the system. A Manager can prepare events and perform configured operational actions without gaining user-administration access.

The interface is only one part of this model. Backend authorisation remains the security boundary, and organisations should review role assignments as part of the 7.3.19 rollout, especially where users inherit mappings from an older deployment.

Extend caption delivery to compatible Cobalt hardware

The final stage of a live caption workflow is delivery. Recognition output must be formatted and routed through an inserter that matches the broadcast, streaming or professional encoder environment.

Audimus Media 7.3.19 adds Cobalt ANC Caption Distribution Packet profiles for CEA-608 and CEA-708 over TCP/IP. The integration provides configuration for ancillary-data identifiers and line number, caption framing, frame rate, packet pacing, acknowledgement limits and timeout behavior.

This gives qualified deployments a direct route to compatible Cobalt ancillary-data hardware. It is not a universal compatibility claim. Production use depends on the matching Audimus Media module and licence, the network path, the exact device and firmware, and a validated site configuration. Event-duration testing remains essential before the output is placed on air.

Strengthen the less visible parts of the workflow

Several 7.3.19 improvements operate behind the main controls. Central error handling, structured client logging and configurable support dialogs provide more consistent diagnostic evidence. Schedule handling includes fixes for overlapping 24-hour events and current-day occurrence visibility. Channel input refresh, DeckLink selection, inserter lists, licence activation and logout behavior also receive corrections.

Related processing work strengthens translation queuing, translation-memory insertion, recognition-segment handling and caption-session lifecycle behavior. These changes are important because operational reliability depends on how the complete processing chain responds to imperfect inputs, state changes and closure conditions—not only on the text shown during a successful event.

They should not be interpreted as a numerical latency, accuracy or uptime guarantee. Actual languages, models, formatter outputs, concurrency and caption inserters continue to depend on the installed deployment and licence.

A more controlled signal-to-screen workflow

Audimus Media 7.3.19 focuses on the points where live caption operations need precision: schedule exceptions, role boundaries, monitoring context, eligible recovery, diagnostics and delivery to configured output systems.

For broadcasters and media teams, these controls help make live AI captioning behave more like an accountable operational workflow. The next step is to validate the release against the organisation's channels, models, capacity rules, user roles and caption destinations before production rollout.
