Features

Automated ingest

Upload files directly or connect your storage and let the system pull assets on schedule. Define watch paths and import rules to keep libraries up to date without manual steps.

Preview and quality control

Validate files against required specs before playout. Automatic checks detect audio silence, video black, and format issues; instant web previews and thumbnails speed up remote QC.

Metadata management

Organize and enrich assets with titles, synopsis, genres, ratings, rights windows, audio/subtitle tracks, and artwork—so scheduling and distribution stay compliant and consistent.

Automated AI powered scheduling

Plan with AI prompting and easy drag‑and‑drop interface. The system automatically builds blocks and secondary events, aligns durations, and prepares the rundown for accurate, on‑time playout.

Artificial intelligence for EPG

Generate and refine EPG entries with AI assistance: summarize synopses, normalize titles, suggest categories, and align schedule metadata across languages. Human review stays in control.

On‑screen HTML5 graphics

Overlay real‑time HTML5 graphics (lower‑thirds, logos/bugs, tickers, countdowns) with web‑based templates and data bindings. Trigger graphics on timeline or via API; ensure safe‑title and aspect‑aware layouts.
