Features Management

GRAPHICS

Graphics+ introduces a fully integrated graphics toolset and playout engine within Frequency Studio, enabling end-to-end management of on-screen visuals for linear channels. It includes:

  • A new authoring and scheduling interface for uploading, configuring, and reusing graphic compositions.

  • A real-time graphics playout engine capable of rendering static, dynamic, and video-manipulating graphics during broadcast, fully automated based on triggers and metadata.

Supported Experiences

Graphics+ supports multiple tiers of graphics complexity to meet various creative and operational needs:

  • Static Overlays (PNG/JPG): Logos, bugs, and banners with simple fade-in/out animations.

  • Dynamic Overlays (Lottie & WebM): Metadata-driven motion graphics (e.g., program titles, now/next/later, ratings).

  • Enhanced Graphics (Squeezebacks & Multi-Zone Layouts): Credit squeezes, L-bars, Picture-in-Picture, and branded frames that manipulate the main video feed.

Key Features

  • Graphics Compositions: Modular building blocks created from uploaded PNG/JPG, Lottie JSON, or WebM assets. Each composition can be previewed, configured with metadata fields, and reused across channels or templates.

  • Trigger Packages: Define when graphics should appear—based on schedule time, program start/end, ad breaks, or other custom rules. Packages can be applied at the channel level for recurring graphics (e.g., logos) or linked to specific programs for content-specific branding.

  • Program-Level Triggers: Attach graphics directly to an individual program’s playout to create precise, contextual experiences (e.g., end-credit squeezes or call-to-action overlays).

  • Schedule Rundown Previewing: Visualize exactly how and when graphics will render within a channel’s schedule. This real-time WYSIWYG view matches what viewers will see during playout, reducing the risk of misalignment or visual conflicts.

Backward Compatibility

Graphics+ is backward-compatible with existing Legacy Graphics implementations. Channels currently using legacy Graphics compositions can continue to do so, and migration tooling is available for moving to native Graphics+ compositions. During the transition, channels can operate in a hybrid model, retaining existing triggers while gradually adopting native Studio-based workflows.

This update includes general improvements and bug fixes.

MANAGE | Scheduled Programs

By clicking the “clock” icon next to the programs listed in Video Details/Programs, users are presented with a list of instances when that program is scheduled. When an instance is selected, we now link to the day/week the program is scheduled.

STUDIO | Localized Metadata

Metadata associated with Videos, Series, Seasons, and Episodes can now be localized and managed within Studio. This allows for entry of language-specific metadata like title, description, and artwork as well as country-specific metadata like parental rating. Users can also filter for content with localized metadata in MANAGE and during scheduling to ensure that programming meets localization needs. This is important when planning global channel releases.
