Main features

Architecture

• multiple channels in one system, multiple clients to each channel
• full system redundancy - two simultaneous outputs from separate machines, using its own copy of media files, database replication
• preview from Newtek NDI® sources (our CasparCG fork can be one) and bar audio level monitor
• easy to use user interface optimized for continuous usage

Rundowns

• variety of rundown event types: movie, live, graphics, parametrized animations
• rundown nesting (blocks) and grouping in containers
• event nesting (e.g. movie may contain graphics)
• event-based GPI triggering to control: branding, parental control and information crawl
• frame-accurate time calculations, clip trimming on various levels
• audio loudness (EBU R128 compliant) measurment and volume adjustment
• cut/copy/paste support, rundown import-export

Ingest

• from local watchfolders, remote shares and ftp's
• linear (tape) ingest with or without deck control using our CasparCG fork and a Decklink card
• from Sony XDCAM decks, supports metadata and subclip ingest
• partial movie playout (via media trimming or logical sub-clips)
• extensive clip playout-related metadata

Archiving

• "shallow" archive for unnecessary media
• preserving clip metadata
