Managed cloud playout for television channels

Your channel.
On air, all day,
every day.

Schedule a week in an afternoon, drop in live when it matters, and see exactly what went out. We run the box. You run the channel.

The InCue portal On air screen: the programme on air with its progress, the next change, stream state, and what plays next.

Portal screens are shown with sample programming. Figures in them are illustrative.

How it works

Four things you will notice first.

Plan

Day Builder

Design a broadcast week once, then generate the whole schedule in a click.

Day Builder: a day laid out in blocks, with day templates and fill rules.

Live

Live cut-ins

Go live for an address or a launch. The channel switches over, and switches back to the schedule by itself.

Live input: RTMP or SRT, a stream key, a reserved slot and what plays if the stream drops.

Watch

Always on air

A stalled stream restarts in seconds, automatically, before your viewers notice. You see every event in plain language.

Health: stream state, stalls, a 24 hour bar and a plain-language event list.

ReachAdd-on

Your own viewer app

An installable app with your icon, now and next, and a notification when you go live.

Viewer app settings: listing, icon, accent colour and notifications, with a phone preview.

How the work is shared

You run the schedule. We keep it on air.

You sign in from any browser and see only your own channel. Upload programmes, build the day, lock it, and it plays. Everything underneath is ours to look after.

You

  • Upload programmes by dragging them in. Each file is checked before it can air.
  • Build the day and the week, replace a programme, reorder, step between days.
  • Take live cut-ins when something happens.
  • Watch what went out, and when.

Us

  • Servers, encoding and security updates.
  • Nightly backups of your schedule and playlists.
  • Round-the-clock monitoring and the always-on-air watchdog.
  • Support from a person who knows your channel.
The Schedule screen: one day as a running order, with played, on air and next states.
