Scheduled playlists
Each list carries its own start time. Loop off, lists play in order; loop on, a single list repeats forever. Duration is calculated per list independently.

PER‑CLIP CG · LIVE HAND‑OFF
Schedule it. Air it. Hand it off.
now2play is a four‑module broadcast playout suite. Main Player schedules the day, Ads Player fires scheduled commercial breaks, Stream Player pulls RTMP/HLS, and Multi Player bridges any two of them with a single click.

Main Player.
Main Player.
The scheduled heart of your channel.
Every clip the show needs lives here. The list runs in order, on time, with a CG per clip, a colour tag per row, and a row‑level control strip — loop · pause · stop · playlist.
Row control strip
Every row carries loop · pause · stop · playlist toggles. What the row carries wins over the playlist‑level default.
Trim & insert cues
Set IN / OUT on any clip. Drop automation cues — branch, take next, fade, CG trigger, SCTE — between any two clips.
Drag‑drop reorder
Pick a clip up by its row, drop it between two others. Trim and CG assignments follow the clip.
Colour tags
Tag a clip with a colour and the whole row takes it — sponsors, promos and live hand‑off clips are spotted in one glance.
Per‑clip CG
Assign a CG to a single clip. When the clip is on air, the assigned CG replaces the Main CG; the Main CG returns the moment the clip ends.
Auto next · Pause on next
Auto next rolls straight into the following clip (on by default). Pause on next stops at the head of every upcoming clip for a hand‑start.
Save · open · audio preview
Every playlist is a file — open yesterday's show, change the break, save it back. Any clip can be previewed on the audio monitor before it reaches the MUX.
// SUITE 03 — the hand-off
From a film to a live feed.
From a film to a live feed.
One click. Zero panic.
Multi Player is the bridge between any two modules. Each end of its playlist hands control to whichever module you picked — Stream Player for live, Main Player to come back, or "no action" to stop there.
- 01
Main Player is paused
When you start the Multi Player mode, the film is paused on its current frame.
- 02
Multi Player mode plays the intro
When you go live, your intro music, bumper music or channel ID goes out on air.
- 03
Stream Player takes control
At the end of Multi Player mode, Stream Player starts — you did this with a single click.
- 04
The reverse works the same way
Stream Player → Multi Player → Main Player brings you back to the film when the live broadcast ends.

// SUITE 04 — the six support modules
Around Main Player,
Around Main Player,
six purpose-built modules.
Ads Player fires scheduled commercial breaks. Stream Player pulls RTMP/HLS feeds. Multi Player bridges any two modules. Graphics hosts the CG library. Main CG carries the two permanent plates. Explorer is the source panel.
02 · ADS PLAYER
Scheduled commercial breaks.
Hand the Ads Player a saved list and a time. Main Player pauses, the list plays, Main Player resumes from the exact frame it stopped on.
- Auto Trigger Ads with a time of day
- Saved ad lists reused across shows
- Frame-accurate resume of Main Player
- Ads-logo Main CG entry surfaces only here
03 · STREAM PLAYER
RTMP and HLS, side by side.
Maintain a list of RTMP and HLS feeds and pull any of them into the playout chain — as a hand-off target or a permanent IPTV ingest.
- Add a feed by URL
- Multiple feeds in one Player
- Frame-accurate hand-off into / out of
- Same output chain as everything else
04 · MULTI PLAYER
The bridge between any two modules.
Plays its own playlist — an intro, a segment, a bumper — then hands control to whichever module you pick at the end. "no action" stops there.
- End-of-playlist hand-off target
- Bridge file → live (Main → Multi → Stream)
- Bridge live → file (Stream → Multi → Main)
- Reverse direction works the same way
05 · GRAPHICS
As many CGs as the show needs.
Title cards, lower thirds, score bugs, full-screen sponsor takes — all in one library. Drag a CG onto a clip to bind it; an unbound clip falls back to the Main CG.

- Drag onto any clip in the playlist
- Inherits Main CG when not assigned
- Apply Time, Opacity, Pos X/Y, Width, Height per CG
06 · MAIN CG
Two permanent plates.
The Main CG slot is always present, with two image entries: the main logo and the ads logo. The main logo is on air whenever no per-clip CG is active; the ads logo surfaces only while the Ads Player has the floor.
- Main logo slot — always on air when no override
- Ads logo slot — only during the ad break
- Apply Time in ms for delayed entrance
- Opacity slider for soft blends
07 · EXPLORER
The source panel.
Browse local drives, mapped network shares and your show's media library. Anything the Explorer shows can be dragged straight into a playlist.
