What Make.TV Playout is
Make.TV Playout is a cloud scheduler and playout service for creating television programs from pre-produced content and live streams. Its collaborative workspace supports 24/7 planning, with files organized between a library and playlists. Playlist elements can be trimmed, looped, used as fill-ins, or assigned an end time. Sequences manage repeating groups of elements. An integrated API can trigger calls to Twitch, YouTube, or custom servers at specified playlist times. Programs can stream simultaneously to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, or an owned server through a custom connection. The output manager shows destination status and allows individual connections or all playout to stop. SFTP and HTTP uploads add files, while XML can supply editable metadata. Real-time transcoding distributes streams without changing original footage. Output supports up to 10 destinations at 1080p. Pricing starts at $1,800/mo with a 7-day trial.
