24/7 Playout with Adobe Flash Graphics

VidiGo Playout is a 24/7 playout system that combines video playout with dynamic and interactive graphic overlays. Graphics are triggered during a broadcast and can have different formats: advertisement, station logos, titles, animations, promos, news tickers and social media content like SMS, Twitter or Facebook.
 
VidiGo Playout mixes clips with live input based on XML or ‘drag&drop created’ playlists. Also Plugins for the import of specific document formats are supported.
 
VidiGo Playout graphics can be made with the Adobe Creative Suite tools like Photoshop and Flash. This has the advantage that graphics are low cost and can easily communicate with internet-based content.
 
The output signal of VidiGo Playout is SDI which integrates easily within an existing broadcast environment and runs on a standard PC.
