Today more than 100 different formats are supported by the system.

Easy implementation
All you need is an internet connection and a standard IT server.

Multi-playout system
The solution can operate as many servers as you want, giving you the ability to manage a limitless number of channels.
The configuration is fast and a new playout can be easily added.

Highly automated
Following the play-list, the server requests the needed files from a digital library, each file is downloaded within a short delay to the server and played out in real time.

Secondary events
As professional as any top quality playout infrastructure, multiple layers of secondary events in any format can be handled by the automation. The secondary events can be created easily in the play-list.

Subtitling
Today channels playout requires subtitling options for the viewers.
