Armada Time Delay is a dedicated software application designed to automatically time-shift or delay live broadcast programming for up to 10 days. It operates as a standalone system on a separate server, requiring minimal setup and no ongoing user intervention. The solution is ideal for broadcasters needing to record and delay live feeds regularly, supporting SDI, SDI/IP, or IP inputs and SD/HD-SDI outputs. It does not support user control or playlist integration, but allows for the permanent overlay of a single fixed or animated graphic, such as a logo or bug.
