OmniBus Systems

OmniBus Systems is a software design and product development company with headquarters in the United Kingdom, and is a leading provider of automation and media content management systems for broadcasters, cable and satellite organizations. In 2007 the company introduced OmniBus iTX, a next-generation, software-based production and transmission solution built on industry-standard IT hardware and advanced software technology.

The iTX system offers a new approach to transmission by allowing broadcasters to launch both high-end multi-channel operations and new low-cost channels running on a single, integrated suite of software applications that reproduce the entire transmission chain, complete with automation, ingest, editing, content management and playout.
