Cablecast

Bring Cablecast government-access broadcasts into the archive. Visit website

Cablecast runs the playout and scheduling behind government-access and public, educational and government television channels, including council and board meeting broadcasts.

Broadcast recordings are ingested so a public meeting becomes a captioned, searchable record with a retention schedule, rather than a video file on a cable channel's server.

A Council Meeting That Stops Being a File on a Playout Server

Open as a two-page brief

This connector is not prebuilt. It would be built to your requirement on the REST API, ingestion and live streaming paths the platform already carries, with scope and effort agreed per engagement. Cablecast runs the playout and scheduling behind government-access and public, educational and government channels, including council and board meeting broadcasts. A broadcast is designed to be watched once, which is exactly the wrong property for a public record.

How it connects

Broadcast recordings would be ingested so a public meeting becomes a captioned, searchable record with a retention schedule, rather than a video file on a playout server. Captions matter more here than elsewhere: a public meeting record that cannot be read is a record that does not meet the access obligation it exists to satisfy.

Cablecast's scheduling metadata is what makes the archive navigable, so an engagement would establish what comes across with the recording. A meeting identified by broadcast slot rather than by the body that met and the date it met is nearly as hard to find as no archive at all.

An engagement would also separate the two things people mean by this integration. Bringing past broadcasts in is ingestion. Carrying the live meeting is live streaming, and it is a different piece of work with different failure consequences, since a public meeting that fails to stream is a governance problem the same afternoon. Cablecast stays the playout and scheduling system.

What you can do together

  • Turn broadcast recordings into a captioned, searchable public record under a retention schedule.
  • Carry the scheduling metadata across so a meeting is findable by body and date rather than by slot.
  • Search what was said in a meeting and open the recording at that moment.
  • Keep ingestion and live carriage as separate pieces of work, since their failure consequences differ.

A scenario

  1. ScopingThe engagement would agree what scheduling metadata comes across and whether live carriage is in scope at all.
  2. SetupIngestion is configured once against the agreed recordings.
  3. After a meetingThe broadcast is ingested, captioned and indexed, filed by the body that met and the date.
  4. A requestA resident searches a phrase and opens the meeting at the moment it was discussed.
  5. RetentionThe record sits under the city's own schedule rather than on a playout server until space runs short.

What stays where

Cablecast remains the playout and scheduling system

The channel, its schedule and its broadcast operation are unchanged.

Captions are the access obligation

A public record that cannot be read does not satisfy what it exists for.

Ingestion and live carriage are different work

A failed live stream of a public meeting is a governance problem, so it is scoped on its own.

Processing runs where you deploy the platform

Shared or dedicated SaaS, your own cloud subscription, or on premises.

Bring an MCP server

If the system publishes a Model Context Protocol server, AI Intelligence Hub connects to it as a client with configuration alone.

Define a REST endpoint

Describe your endpoint and it becomes a node in an agent workflow, without waiting on our roadmap.
