Vipe transforms playout and content distribution with a software-only solution, architected on containerized microservices for deployment across public clouds, private clouds, COTS hardware, or any hybrid scenario. Seamlessly manage linear playout, complex live events, online VOD, and simultaneous 4K/HD OTT delivery in a unified workflow and interface. Vipe empowers media organizations to drive efficiency, reduce operational friction, and scale capacity in response to evolving market and audience demands.
Designed for maximum resource efficiency, scalability, and operational agility, Vipe utilizes a powerful parallel processing engine to assemble broadcast-ready content directly from storage. There is no ingest bottleneck or requirement for a playout MAM. Leveraging an imported schedule and template-driven automation, Vipe generates compressed transmission files—including video, graphics, and all ancillary data—that are managed using lightweight housekeeping logic and available for immediate delivery.
Containerized microservices are orchestrated through a centralized platform, optimizing compute power dynamically. Content is repurposed when rescheduled, allowing seamless expansion and cost control as your channel portfolio grows.
A robust parallel processing engine assembles broadcast-ready files directly from storage. This enables rapid, efficient content assembly, removing ingest bottlenecks and accelerating workflows for both live and on-demand operations.
Every deliverable passes a full 90-point automated quality check. The QC ahead workflow ensures issues are surfaced and resolved early, supporting flawless content delivery and verifiable compliance with broadcast standards.
Effortlessly stitch approved files with decoded live feeds, automating branding and re-encoding. Seamless switching between live events and pre-rendered content delivers uninterrupted, high-redundancy broadcast experiences.
Operators engage with a dashboard that flags schedule and content issues for immediate action. This approach streamlines multichannel oversight, reducing monitoring load and increasing operational effectiveness.
Vipe leverages intelligent scheduling and containerized infrastructure to maximize resource utilization. As channel volume scales, operational efficiency increases, driving sustainable cost savings for enterprise environments.
Secure web access supports distributed teams with granular user management. This enables geographically dispersed specialists to collaborate efficiently, eliminates the need for central teams, and enhances platform security.
Integrate complex graphics with a native Adobe After Effects workflow. Real-time preview ensures playout matches creative intent exactly, eliminating surprises and supporting seamless design-to-broadcast integration.
Vipe offers a preview capability to ensure playout is exactly as designed:
The Vipe AE plugin supports creative compositing directly in the After Effects environment, using local content for seamless previewing.
Vipe's preview supports technical channel design without disrupting playout, all within a single workflow. You get accurate and effective functional designs.
With pre-assembled file-based events, real delivery assets can be previewed anytime. Scheduled content and metadata ensure smooth and reliable playout operations.
The center piece for multi-channel operations is the monitor by exception view in the Dashboard. Content and schedule related errors, flagged by the system, are indicated in this high-level view. Operators are offered an elegant way to navigate to any issue of any channel at any given time.
Vipe Playout Control allows for a traditional view on vertical playlists and horizontal timelines. Events, including metadata, can be edited and played manually from here. Playlist scan also be imported and activated manually from here.
This view gives an insight on the different stages of the assembly process (validation, queue, assembly). The queue is sorted based on delivery time of any asset across all the channels within the installation.
Any assembled event is ready for distribution and can also be previewed in the Quality Control view. The player shows all the data that was assembled, from A/V bitrate to audio and subtitle tracks.
Designer allows for a translation of a creative design into a functional design. This is where native After Effects timelines, including keyframes, are imported and linked to event types and metadata from the schedule.
