PLAYOUT USE CASES

One platform. Different ways to run a channel

Build your playout workflow around the content you carry, the control your operators need and the way your channels reach their destinations.

PLAYOUT USE CASES

One platform. Different ways to run a channel

Build your playout workflow around the content you carry, the control your operators need and the way your channels reach their destinations.

SPORTS CHANNELS

Stay in control when live coverage changes the schedule

Manage live feeds, commercial breaks and studio or recorded segments with a combination of playlist automation, embedded triggers and manual switching. When coverage overruns, define how the playlist returns from live and which scheduled items can be skipped. Give operators a dashboard with the monitoring, timers and controls needed to make decisions as events unfold.

RELEVANT CAPABILITIES

Variable-duration live events, trigger detection, manual control, graphics and countdowns, recording and replay.

GENERAL ENTERTAINMENT CHANNELS

Keep the daily schedule moving

Bring content preparation, scheduling, channel branding, subtitles and output encoding into one workflow. Check that all the required media is available before air time, automate distribution to the engines that need it, and monitor channels from a central interface. Coordinate multiple feeds with the content and language requirements of each audience.

RELEVANT CAPABILITIES

Playlist management, MAM, technical QC, missing-media reports, graphics, subtitling and audio processing.

FAST CHANNELS

Give streaming channels a complete playout workflow

Turn scheduled content into linear feeds for downstream streaming distribution. Combine graphics, subtitles, encoding and monitoring, and generate SCTE-35 signaling for compatible downstream ad-insertion workflows. Use cloud instances, VMs or hardware according to your operating model and deliver outputs suited to your distribution partners.

RELEVANT CAPABILITIES

Scheduling, integrated graphics, HLS and TS outputs, SCTE-35 generation, remote monitoring.

POP-UP CHANNELS

Build a channel around the occasion

Create dedicated programming around a season, event or temporary audience opportunity using the same scheduling, graphics and monitoring tools as your ongoing channels. Deploy the video server in the environment that fits the project and manage its content and playlists through the central backend.

RELEVANT CAPABILITIES

Flexible engine deployment, playlist loops, channel branding, centralized media management and monitoring.

LIVE EVENTS

Bring live coverage and scheduled content together

Prepare the material around your event, control transitions into and out of live coverage, and manage graphics and secondary events from an operational dashboard. Support fixed or variable durations and record incoming feeds for delayed playback or replay. Keep operators informed with live monitoring and playlist context.

RELEVANT CAPABILITIES

Scheduled and manual switching, trigger control, timers, graphics, input and segment recordings.

CHANNEL LOCALIZATION

Adapt the feed for each audience

Take an incoming channel and combine it with local content, graphics or scheduled replacements. Use embedded triggers or manual control to coordinate changes, manage language requirements and configure outputs for the destination. Place engines centrally or closer to the affiliate, according to your distribution design.

RELEVANT CAPABILITIES

Splicing, trigger detection and generation, graphics over incoming feeds, subtitle handling and independent output configurations.

DISASTER RECOVERY

Keep channels on air with a separate recovery path

Deploy backup playout engines at a separate facility or in the cloud, with local copies of the media and playlists required for scheduled transmission. Manage readiness through media checks, monitoring and alerts. Define the handover and output-switching workflow around your existing broadcast infrastructure and recovery requirements.

RELEVANT CAPABILITIES

Independent engine caches, remote deployment, media distribution, missing-media checks, monitoring and alerts.
