Download Elements ELite Playout V.5.7.2 Broadcasting & Automation

A Powerful and Versatile Broadcasting Solution

The ELite Playout system is designed to give broadcasters full control over their workflow ensuring smooth and efficient operations.

Whether it’s promotions watching now or the next program updates, the platform integrates seamlessly with real-time content updates. The model-driven system also enables video squeeze features making transitions and branding effortless.

For those managing playlists, the advanced playlist scheduling tool is essential. Using the scheduler, broadcasters can organize their broadcast weeks in advance. It’s as simple as setting a start time, hitting the publish button, and letting the system analyze and launch uploaded playlists according to the set schedule. This automation eliminates the need for constant manual adjustments, making operations stress-free.

Seamless Media Asset and Workspace Management

Handling media assets becomes effortless with the simple media asset management system. With an integrated database, users can input metadata, which is then used for automated processes. Features like metadata editing, video file trimming, and multiple segments allow for efficient content control. Additionally, quick access to frequent assets ensures that commonly used media is always within reach.

The platform also offers a flexible application workspace, where the resizable layout of the remote and scheduler app can be customized using the workspace manager. Users can save their favorite layouts and apply them instantly, optimizing efficiency when switching between different tasks.
