Play Out - IABM Single BaM Product

Media content planning and scheduling has been a pain point for both traditional broadcasters and 'digital first' broadcasting companies. Traditional broadcasters have largely relied on complex broadcast scheduling and traffic systems, whereas 'digital first' companies seldom have access to such complex software, forcing them to plan and schedule their content and media assets manually into playout systems.

Amagi CP-PLANNER is a simple content planning and scheduling platform that is a lightweight alternative to a full-fledged traffic system. CP-PLANNER makes content planning and scheduling for both broadcast TV and streaming TV easy and efficient.

In a fast moving environment such as a broadcasting studio, every click matters and flexibility is essential. Adding an audio or live feed to a schedule, creating a mix between upcoming songs, or editing a text – these workflows must take as little time as possible.

dira Onair Player’s interface and features are optimized for such self-operated studio workflows and give radio DJs unmatched control over the content and presentation of their broadcasts, even in extremely demanding environments such as outside broadcasts. dira Onair Player offers a built-in crossfade editor, voice-track editor and jingle management tools. An integrated content browser features such as timescaling and loops on the fly and much more—all with a network-independent emergency operation.

• Optimized for self-operated workflows with up to 4 playlists​, 8 players and instant hotkeys

• ​​​​​​Time scaling and loops on the fly


• Integrated content browser


• Onair API and web views for flexible integrations


• Built-in crossfade editor & voice track recorder

RouteMaster uses Rascular’s proven router control and emulation technology to form a powerful yet flexible router control system. Built on tried and tested software modules, RouteMaster can be used with a wide range of video and audio routers  from all major manufacturers.

It’s equally suitable for new router installations or increasing the capabilities – and lifetime – of existing systems. You can add third-party hardware panels to existing systems, add IP connectivity to older serial routers, or simply increase the number of control ports available.

The integrated web server means operators can control routers from any web browser, using custom control panels built with Helm Designer. And because it’s built on HTML5 standards, there’s no need for browser plugins.

Helm is a PC-based application that allows users and systems integrators to design and build customised control panels that, in their simplest form, sit alongside automation and provide manual control of a single device. For example, this could be a master control switcher, with the user panel exposing only those controls needed for monitoring and manual intervention. In more complex deployments, Helm is used to provide manual, supervisory override capabilities in automated, multi-device (branding engine, multi-viewer, router, video server and modular gear), multi-channel, HD/SD environments with pods of channels. This includes by some of the world’s largest playout companies.

The scalability of Helm makes it a go-to solution for companies wishing to invest in future-proof technology.
