Key Features

Everything You Need for Automated Playout

Software Master Switcher

PCS plays media without a hardware switcher, handling CG and logo keyers, audio mixing, and recording — all on one screen.

Schedule Integration

Receives schedules from a scheduling system or lets you build them directly, then expands them into playout events.

Flexible Output Formats

SDI output as standard, with optional RTMP, UDP, SRT, RTP, and RTSP streaming outputs.

Uninterrupted Redundancy

DCS maintains its own event queue so playout continues even if the upstream controller fails, with dual and triple redundant configurations.

Multi-Channel Timeline Monitoring

SEC and MCC monitor up to four channels at once on a timeline, so faults are caught and handled fast.

Flexible Configuration

Deploys to fit your environment, from all-in-one (CIAB) to the traditional split architecture used by broadcasters.

Playback Control

Playback Controller System

The playout engine — a software-based master switcher that plays media. It supports most broadcast formats and handles CG and logo keyers, audio mixing, and recording on one screen.

  • 01Software master switcher
    plays and switches media without a separate hardware switcher.
  • 02Keyers & audio mixing
    supports keyers for CG and logo overlay, audio mixing, and MXF/MP4 recording.
  • 03Flexible outputs
    SDI as standard, with optional RTMP, UDP, SRT, RTP, and RTSP streaming.

Device Control

Device Control Server

The server that controls playout equipment — switchers, video servers, routers, and graphics. It maintains its own event queue, so playout continues even if the upstream controller (SEC) fails.

  • 01Unified device control
    controls switchers, video servers, routers, and graphics systems together.
  • 02Persistent event queue
    holds scheduled events in its own queue so playout never stops, even during an SEC failure.
  • 03Dual & triple configurations
    supports redundant configurations for reliability.

Schedule Control

Schedule Event Controller

The controller that receives schedules, prepares events, and provides the operator monitoring screen. It watches up to four channels at once on a timeline.

  • 01Schedule reception & event preparation
    takes in the schedule and expands it into playout events.
  • 02Timeline monitoring
    view up to four channels simultaneously on a timeline.
  • 03Event grouping
    bundles related events such as titles, commercials, and programs for at-a-glance management.

Multi-Channel Monitoring

Multi Channel Controller

The monitoring and control tool that brings the status of every running channel onto one timeline view. In multi-channel operations, faults are identified and handled fast.

  • 01All channels on one screen
    see the status of every running channel at once.
  • 02Timeline status display
    shows each channel's progress in a timeline format.
  • 03Rapid fault response
    detects and responds to anomalies quickly across multi-channel environments.
