Media content planning and scheduling has been a pain point for both traditional broadcasters and 'digital first' broadcasting companies. Traditional broadcasters have largely relied on complex broadcast scheduling and traffic systems, whereas 'digital first' companies seldom have access to such complex software, forcing them to plan and schedule their content and media assets manually into playout systems.
Amagi PLANNER is a simple content planning and scheduling platform that is a lightweight alternative to a full-fledged traffic system. Amagi PLANNER makes content planning and scheduling for both broadcast TV and streaming TV easy and efficient.
The Scheduler can input rules to create schedule patterns, easily create an EPG across multiple days in just a few clicks and then export it to CLOUDPORT. The platform provides a multitude of features catering to the workflow of the Scheduler to allow for easy scheduling of different types of media assets. Currently, the platform is available for all Amagi CLOUDPORT cloud playout customers
WANT TO EXPERIENCE AMAGI PLANNER DEMO?
Amagi PLANNER is a content planning and scheduling tool and enables content schedulers to create a programme guide in an efficient manner.
Absolutely! Through Amagi PLANNER, you can schedule horizontally across multiple days or vertically i.e., in a ‘binge watch’ back-to-back mode. You can define scheduling patterns like daily, weekends only, or specific custom patterns. You can also provide repeat times so that EPG creation becomes easier.
Currently, it can only be integrated with CLOUDPORT, Amagi’s channel playout platform
No. Amagi PLANNER is used for creating the EPG i.e., scheduling at a program level. We have an auto scheduling algorithm that will take the EPG exported from Amagi PLANNER and displays it in the CLOUDPORT playlist with all the segment information along with breaks. The scheduler can thus use CLOUDPORT edit playlist feature only for all the fine tuning i.e., advertisement, promo and graphic scheduling.
