Core Capabilities

Built for Broadcast Operations

Every feature engineered around real-world MCR workflows — from single-channel community TV to multi-channel satellite teleports.

Play / Cue / Jump Mode
Studio-centric controls let operators cue the next item, jump ahead, or loop on-the-fly without interrupting the live output signal.
Sub-Playlist Structure
Nest playlists within playlists for programme blocks, ad breaks, and promos — keeping your main schedule clean and manageable.
Live Video Preview
Real-time A/V preview of live sources directly within the Rapid CS interface — no external monitors needed at the workstation.
Mixed-Format Playout
Seamlessly combine different resolutions, frame rates, and compression standards in the same playlist — no pre-processing required.
Live Source Integration
Insert live feed items — satellite, studio camera, or IP stream — directly into the automation schedule with seamless transitions.
Logo & Text Overlays
Built-in animated logo bug, static overlay, and text scroll support — including overlay rendering on top of live input sources.
Telecast Certificate
Automatic generation of telecast certificates and broadcast logs for regulatory compliance and internal reporting requirements.
Web Streaming + NDI
Simultaneous web-streaming output and full NDI support — feeding OB trucks, remote studios, and IP-connected infrastructure.
Coming Up Band
Automated "coming up next" and L-Band advertisement insertion with date/time band branding — ready for cable and DTH distribution.
