Playout
One screen showing what is on air right now, for every output your station runs. The show follows its own rundown with nobody in front of it, and an operator can take it back at any point.
Rundown automation for every output
Control
Preview it before you take it.
Select a rundown item to put it in Preview, check the result and adjust its variables before it reaches Program. When it is ready, TAKE moves that exact result on air.
Preview and Program stay side by side, and Preview can run a different episode from the one that is on air.
Prepare
Build the next show before it starts.
Open any scheduled program in the Episode Composer, organise its rundown and check every item in a simulated preview. The episode is ready before it appears in Playout for the on-air program.
Episode Playout keeps the on-air program and the next five within reach. At five minutes before handover, you can move items from the upcoming episode into the current one.
