With it Elemental Live will have control of static image keyers, “Motion Image” keyers, input selection, stream display and audio metering, image preview, and single/multi-channel operation.

Helm’s Clockwork module will provide automated control. The scheduling system offers scheduled control of Elemental Live either by time-of-day or playlists. Static keyer, “Motion Image” keyer and input selection are controllable with Helm Clockwork.

Mediant and Mediant Automation Module from Rascular is set to handle media management for Elemental Live. Mediant is a branding media management tool that provides drag and drop media management, while Mediant Automation offers automatic management of secondary event media based on third-party playlist information.

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS—Rascular, a U.K.-based software design company that specializes in video playout control and media management systems, will introduce its Helm control technology, now integrated with Elemental Live, at IBC 2016. Elemental Live provides Helm with live streaming to new media platforms and encoding for linear pay-tv broadcasts.

Rascular will also showcase updates to its Mediant media management tool, now featuring secondary media handling for both broadcast and streaming playout through the development of Mediant-AM (Automation Module), an automation feature that syncs secondary event media on the playout device with what the automation playlist requires.
