Abstract: A control system for media content data broadcast has a master control processor operatively associated with a web server, each having communication links to a computer network. At least one uplink, remote from the master control processor, is operatively connected to the same computer network. The master control processor and web server are configured to receive control instruction requests from a browser through its communication link with the computer network. The control processor is configured to generate a control instruction command for controlling transmissions made by the uplink(s) by sending to the uplink(s) a control instruction command through the computer network.

Abstract: A remotely controlled uplink server system has a remote access interface that allows multiple user groups to individually control their respective media files. The user groups also have individual control over their respective remote receivers. The control over the media files includes file uploading, file management and file distribution and the control over the remote receivers includes the identification and grouping of receivers, managing the play list, scheduling and storage space on the receivers and selecting media channels. Through the remote access interface into the uplink server system, each one of the user groups operates and controls its own fully functioning network operations center, sharing the uplink facility with the other user groups.
