I'm not sure what exactly you need and how much money you are able to
pay.

Regarding to 'When you purchase today for just US$299.95 you will
receive:

      * OtsAV DJ Pro 1.85 (Digital Download)** 
      * Free upgrades to any further releases made under version 1.85.x 
      * Ots Studio and Ots Player companion applications'
http://www.otsav.com/buy-otsav-dj-pro/ at least the costs for the
hardware needed by BBC's software Ingex could be an issue, while the
software is for free.

'The Ingex project is actively developed as part of the Production
Automation work managed by Phil Tudor of BBC R&D.'
http://ingex.sourceforge.net/

                                                                    8.  

'The cost?
The hardware required for an ‘Ingex’ recorder capable of recording four
SDI inputs each with four audio channels and including 80 track-hours of
storage currently costs €10 000. An HD version can be configured by
using HD capable SDI capture cards, but with two cards rather than four
in each PC. We estimate that a two-channel HD version would cost €15
000.

The MediaHarmony server, equipped with 20 TBytes of storage (which is
sufficient for about 800 hours of content), currently costs in the
region of €15 000. 

We are making the software for both of these available as open source.
For further details see ingex.sourceforge.net.'
