Virtual live channels
Recorded media becomes a live channel. Late viewers join mid-programme, exactly where everyone else is.
PlayPORT · Cloud automated TV playout
Run your own TV channel from the cloud, on autopilot.
PlayPORT turns videos, playlists and live streams into a 24/7 channel on one shared clock. The LiveMix console fills the schedule, takes live broadcasts the moment they start, and checks every clip before it airs.
Test accounts go through an approval process first, and a request can be declined.

To run or maintain
Everything in the box
A complete playout system, without the control-room hardware
Build the channel once. PlayPORT keeps it on air, in step, and in front of your audience.
Schedules and cycles
Sequential or fixed-time programmes, 6, 12 or 24 hour cycles or open linear flow, with saved schedules you can clone and publish.
Any source
YouTube videos, MP4 and WebM files, HLS and DASH streams and audio, kept in libraries.
Live, built in
Cue a live stream in, or let Auto Live do it. The schedule pauses, the live airs, and the programme carries on afterwards.
Fillers, sweepers and adverts
Gap fillers, station idents, jingles, promos and adverts, each from its own library.
Time-of-day control
Put programmes, adverts and live events on air at set times, around the daily playlist.
Ticker, bug and guide
Channel logo bug, message ticker, and a programme guide with XMLTV and M3U feeds for IPTV apps.
Relay and master control
Relay another channel now or at a set time, and watch every channel in one master control room.
Teams and access
Editors, managers and admins with clear permissions. Public or members-only channels.
Installable apps
The console, the desk and the player install as apps, and a channel embeds on any site.
On demand
Publish any library item to an on-demand catalogue alongside the live schedule.
Alerts that matter
Dead air, off air and suspended alerts, so the desk hears about trouble first.
LiveMix console
The desk that runs the day for you
LiveMix is the operator's console. Behind it sits a set of automations that do the routine work, so the team only steps in for the moments that need a person.
Auto Live: the live takes over by itself
Link a YouTube channel, a web address or an HLS or DASH stream. When it goes live, the schedule stops where it is, the live airs, and the programme it cut resumes afterwards with the timeline worked out again.
Auto Daily: tomorrow is built for you
Add the sources you like: a YouTube channel, a playlist, a search or one of your libraries. Before the day starts, Auto Daily fills every blank space left after your Time Table programmes and live shows.
Programs Schedule: the week as a Time Table
Lay your week out in four segments a day. Fixed slots are blocked and the daily playlist goes around them, with coverage reports that show where content runs short.
Play check: nothing dead goes to air
Once a list goes live, a background check makes sure every clip can play. A clip that cannot, for example a private or age-restricted video, is swapped for you.
How it works
From a few videos to a live channel in three steps
No encoder, no playout server, no night shift.
Step 1
Add your content
Search YouTube, import playlists, or add your own files and streams to libraries, plus jingles, promos and adverts.
Step 2
Set the rules
Fill in the Time Table, choose your day start and cycle, and switch on Auto Daily and Auto Live.
Step 3
Go on air
Publish. Viewers watch on the web, in the app or embedded on your site, and the desk steps in only when it wants to.
Who it's for
One platform, every kind of channel
From a single church service to a national news network.
Churches and ministries
Services go live automatically, then repeat all week.
News and broadcasters
Live takeovers, relays and master control.
Schools and universities
A campus channel the media team can run in the background.
Community and culture
Local programmes on a proper schedule.
Family and kids TV
Safe, scheduled viewing with fillers and sweepers.
Global delivery
Reach audiences everywhere from a single cloud channel.
For developers and partners
Embed it anywhere. Build on it.
Any channel embeds as a bare live picture with one iframe, or with the embed SDK for control and events from your page. Tenants get API keys and their own channels.
- Embed code and a ready-made channel bundle
- XMLTV and M3U guide feeds for IPTV apps
- Tenant API for apps and broadcasters
- Platform admin, approvals and viewing figures
