Playout
Playout is the core operation of any linear broadcaster indepent of whether they transmit via satellite, cable, IPTV, or OTT.Therefore, the playout center is the head of any TV station and most often 24/7 operated. The most reliable and fully redundant systems can be found here.
We provide ready to go products and solutions to our customers. Our video production and playout engine is made for projects that need a playout engine to be integrated. And finally, the generic video production SDK is the choice for those who like to develop solutions themselves.
Playout Solution
Linear Playout happens at the playout center of every broadcaster, either on premises or from a remote data center/cloud. All TV programs consist of pre-produced content that are played as files. Often, pre-produced on-air promotion and sold advertisement surround the program. Many programs are getting even more attractive through live content like news, sports, or shows. And finally, graphic overlays are used for titling, subtitling, advertisement, and real time information. A playout solution has to satisfy all such needs.
Linear Playback is also needed for studio productions to supply pre-produced sources to the gallery video mixer and for feeding background video walls. Thus, it's an important element in operations within production facilities. Again, stability is key for successful productions.

Video Production Engine
Some projects require special solutions for video signal or stream recording, switching, or playback. Combining various standard products may address these needs, but may also lead to an overly complex solution. In other cases, a certain functionality might not be easily available. Then a small but powerful engine driven by a scheduler or workflow orchestrator is the perfect approach for implementing the needs.
