Makalu

Introduction

Spin-up playout channels as needed – for events or for disaster recovery purposes. Visualize operational KPIs and synchronize playlists with your MAM.

Makalu is a pure software-defined, cost-effective and highly automated playout automation for broadcasters and content providers of any kind and size. It is based on a manufacturer-independent, service-oriented architecture to achieve a maximum level of flexibility and scalability and runs on most public or hosted private clouds as well as on virtualized environments.
