Render Engine
Software on a machine in your own rack that turns your graphics and video into the signal you send to air. It runs on your own network, not in the cloud, so going to air never depends on the internet staying up.
Broadcast graphics output that runs in your studio
Output
The last step before air.
Playout decides what should be on screen. Render Engine draws the graphics and video on a machine in your studio, then hands the finished picture to your existing broadcast chain.
Each Output has its own player. Its status shows the signal path and the connected device in the same browser where you run the show.
Prepare
On the disk before it plays.
Video from the cloud and your own local media are copied to the machine's disk ahead of playback, and the browser shows the progress of every item.
When a rundown item comes up, it plays from local disk instead of buffering over the line.
Control
Fix it without walking to the rack.
Reload the media, refresh the graphics, restart one player or reboot the whole application, all from the browser. Each action tells you what it will interrupt before it runs.
The program and preview of every output can be watched from a browser, so you can check the picture from wherever you are.

We map the signal path first, then run one of your own graphics and videos through it.
