Pro and TV-Station editions come with an ever growing number of "Turn-Key" scripts which enable an operator to quickly access the functionality of the system, without needing to know how to write scripts. For example, suppose you want to run a Music-TV station and pop up the name of the currently playing track ... no problem, just put it in the schedule, tell it where the music videos are located and which inputs to use in vMix, and you're good to go.

TV-Station edition can automatically choose the next episode of a show to play from a directory of files, manage insertion of commercials with Top, Mid and Tail priorities and can automatically choose filler content to play out if the episode runs slightly short of the next programme.

TV-Station also logs everything it plays. Using the reporting tool, it is possible to generate reports showing how many times a commercial was aired, the time, date and which scheduled programme was playing at the time. This info can be directly copied on to your sponsors invoice. Data is also available for plotting graphs through a spreadsheet.

Collaboration is made possible through Google Sheets, enabling a distributed production team to control most aspects of their TV Station or production from anywhere the Google Sheets can be accessed.

... and much more!
