SUMMARY: BKAT is replacing its four-year-old playback system with the purchase of a CASTUS
"Quick Roll Multi Channel Video Server". The job of this unit is to allow staff to upload, schedule and
play programs on BKAT and BKAT.Org. CASTUS is the only product that plays nearly all types of
video files. As new types of video files are introduced, the CASTUS can be easily updated to accept
them. The current playback system is outdated and will not play the latest types of video files,
forcing staff to spend valuable time converting files to make them compatible.
Additional features: Multi week scheduling, Two channel playback for cable tv and streaming. Web
based interface for remote access. Graphic overlays and crawling text for emergency and
promotional information.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Castus Estimate; 2) Castus Fact Sheet; and 3) Sole Source Letter
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): The purchase price of$40,964.50 is included in
the BKAT 2019 Capital Improvement budget. (Project 8407' "Master Control Upgrade" - $41,500.00)
