What is Playout?
Playout is a central piece of technology used in the broadcasting industry for radio and television that transmits media directly to multiple target audiences and can be done in a number of ways. It is the heart of any modern broadcasting station. Television channel playout happens in a playout area of the broadcasting station or is situated in a larger playout center. Here media is transported to specific feeds over different networks or the public internet.
Playout System & Devices
A playout system defines the equipment and/or processes taken to play the media, render it, and put it to air for different networks. A system can be made up of equipment, used as software, or playout in the cloud. Different devices are used for different systems.
Playout equipment would require hardware and maybe additional software while cloud-based playouts wouldn’t need any hardware or software. These different systems can also include different features that can be performed to produce channels, scheduling, automation, operations, and management.
Playout Services & Platforms
Playout services provide reliability for creators to deliver content throughout various platforms while they focus mostly on creating the content. Platforms that provide playout services can help manage programming, scheduling, and distribution for linear TV channels, streaming channels, or public internet.
Services for playout help to better manage the entire process to deliver media, can save on cost, and offer better security. Depending on its playout system, different services can be as software or in the cloud.
Playout Automation & Channel Management
Playout automation helps to make channel operations run efficiently while also making channel management for one or many programs easier to run, from scheduling, formatting, encoding, media management, distribution, and much more.
Automating playout functions help to save time and overall cost when distributing to different platforms. It allows for more playout features to be added and executed in a seamless fashion.
Cloud Playout Workflow & Operations
Generally, a playout workflow requires programming the media content of a specific channel and taking it to air. Not all playouts are created equal. Workflow for playout depends on the system and the necessary processes required.
Some provide much more robust features and automation than others. Modern-day cloud playout systems can include features around scheduling, creating templates, graphics, adding live sources, and much more.
