clipbox studio server for broadcast and media
Multichannel newsroom production playout
clipbox is the studio server for live and pre-production in broadcast and media environments. As a powerful and intuitive multichannel production playout, it enables you to easily create rundowns for multiple players and control their playout.
The system provides signal output via SD-, HD- or UHD that may e.g. be used as source feed for downstream video switchers (vision mixers).
It essentially consists of two applications:
- clipbox scheduling and control client
- VideoServer playout
clipbox offers a clearly arranged and customizable user interface that supports multiple languages. It enables you to search for and use video files that are either registered in the clipbox database or located in watchfolders. With clipbox you can create rundowns via drag and drop, save them as sets and group multiple clips within a set. Every group can be played individually. The XML-based interface enables you to import sets from external systems. In addition it offers a frame-accurate preview and allows you to record and trim files, supports edit while capture mode and logs every played clip.
