1. The following applications run natively on Microsoft Windows
- WinMedia — Radio and TV playout, ingest, and automation
- WinCam — Video capture, multi-camera production, and visual radio management
- WinLogger — Multi-channel audio logging and compliance recording
Recommended Hardware Configuration :
For professional, real-time broadcast performance:
- Processor (CPU): Intel Core Ultra 7 / 9 (Video) or AMD Ryzen 7 / 9
- Memory (RAM): 32 GB minimum (64 GB recommended for video or multi-channel systems)
- Storage: NVMe SSD (1 TB or higher) + dedicated media storage (RAID / NAS)
- Graphics (GPU): NVIDIA RTX Series with 12 GB VRAM minimum (required for WinCam and visual playout)
- Audio Interface: WDM-compatible or Virtual Soundcard
- Network: 1 Gbps Ethernet (10 Gbps recommended for heavy video workflows)
- Power Supply: Redundant PSU + UPS for on-air system protection
Operating Systems Supported :
- Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) — version 22H2 or newer
- Windows 11 Pro (64-bit) — recommended for new installations
- Windows Server 2022/2025 — for database or automation servers
WinMedia applications are fully compatible with Active Directory, domain policies, and standard virtualized Windows environments (Hyper-V, VMware, or Proxmox with Windows VMs).
2. Linux / Docker-Based Applications
The following solutions are web-based and containerized under Linux Debian 12, using Docker and Docker Compose:
- WinNews — Newsroom and editorial workflow management
- WinSales — Advertising sales and traffic scheduling
- WinMam — Media Asset Management system (MAM)
- WinAI — Artificial intelligence services for speech, content, and metadata automation
These systems can be deployed on physical or virtual Linux servers.
Deployment requirements include:
- Docker Engine ≥ 24
- Docker Compose v2
- Reverse proxy (Nginx / Traefik) for HTTPS
- Integration with MariaDB
Typical configuration:
- CPU: 16 cores or more
- RAM: 16–32 GB
- Storage: SSD / NVMe + backup volume
- Operating System: Debian 12 (Bookworm) 64-bit
3. Supported Formats and Protocols
Audio: WAV (PCM), MP2, MP3, AAC, FLAC, Opus
Video: MP4 (H.264 / H.265), MXF, MOV, AVI, MPEG-2
Images: PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF
Subtitles / Captions: SRT, TTML, XML
All transcoding and playout are powered by the WinMedia Core Engine, integrating FFmpeg for frame-accurate synchronization across all audio and video layers.
Network and Broadcast Protocols
- NDI® — IP video integration for WinCam
- Dante™ — Audio-over-IP routing and recording
- Livewire+™, RAVENNA, WheatNet-IP — professional AoIP compatibility
- SMPTE ST 2110 / 2022 — IP video transport for broadcast infrastructure
- SCTE-104 — triggers for ad insertion and automation
- RTMP / SRT / HLS — streaming output for web and OTT
- RS-232 / TCP / UDP / GPI/O — control and automation for external devices
These standards ensure tight interoperability between WinMedia Playout, WinCam video control, and WinLogger audio systems, as well as external mixers, routers, and broadcast automation chains.
4. Database & Integration
- Database Engines: Microsoft SQL Server 2022 / 2025 | MariaDB for Linux
- API Support: REST, SOAP, JSON for third-party integration
- Automation: Event-based scripting and workflow integration through WinMam or WinAI
5. Backup & Redundancy
Both Windows and Linux deployments support incremental and full-system backup strategies.
Recommended configurations include redundant systems (primary / mirror) and multi-site setups for 24/7 continuity.
6. Security & Monitoring
All WinMedia applications include integrated tools for:
- User authentication and access control
- System health and watchdog monitoring
- Event logging and audit trails
- Optional HTTPS and certificate-based access for Docker services
