Trilithic’s EASyCAST Enhances Florical’s Acuitas with Automated EAS

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 4, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Trilithic, the experts in digital

Emergency Alert Systems and Florical, the leader in broadcast automation
systems, announced today a partnership to enhance Florical’s Acuitas(TM)
solution with automated EAS.

Florical’s low cost station-in-a-box solution, Acuitas, is now available with an
automated interface to Trilithic’s EASyCAST(TM), an FCC certified Emergency
Alert System (EAS) solution for broadcast television stations.

Dr. Eric Piard, VP Research & Development at Florical explains, “With this new
EAS feature in Acuitas, operators do not have to interact with the automation
system at all and the hardware footprint for dealing with the graphics and audio
components of an EAS warning is now drastically reduced. Acuitas and EASyCAST on
the network is all that is needed!”

Acuitas automatically detects when station operators trigger required weekly and
monthly tests on the EASyCAST; Acuitas then inserts auxiliary events in its
AirBoss playlist. Those events in turn cause Acuitas to add on the relevant
channel’s output a crawl and/or an audio signal with data from the alert’s
associated text and/or audio files, respectively. Further, these events will
appear in the AirBoss’ As-Run-Log, providing evidence that the tests were
performed.

These products enable service providers to improve efficiency and gain greater
control over Emergency Alert System messaging with seamless, IP-based EAS
solutions.

Trilithic is the leading supplier of EAS equipment and EAS systems and solutions
for cable television, satellite, broadcast, and IPTV. With network based EAS
receivers, flexible hardware platform, network connectivity for ease of use and
flexibility, remote programming and automated compliance software, Trilithic’s
