Welcome to OnTheAir Video

OnTheAir Video can be used for automated playout using its own scheduler or it can serve as a clip store for live news operations, local broadcast or live shows. Schedules can be created weeks in advance.

Thanks to its powerful Smart Playout Engine, OnTheAir Video supports multiple video formats such as Apple ProRes®, AVC-Intra®, Avid DNxHD®, H.264, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG IMX, XDCAM EX, XDCAM HD, etc...

OnTheAir Video is a software solution that runs on your Mac and with standard video devices from AJA, Blackmagic-Design, our own M|Family or NDI® and it is the most flexible and affordable solution on the market.


Remote Control

This feature requires the "Remote Control" option, and is not available in demo mode. Remotely control OnTheAir Video, edit playlists, and many other things from a web browser.

Sample web pages

We also provide a few sample pages that allows you to get started with the REST API (see below). These are provided as examples to start with, so they are not meant to be used in production.

When you create your own webpages, you can place them in the folder set in "Settings > General > HTTP Server > Web Pages Folder". OnTheAir Video will then serve this page, and you will be able to view them in a browser the same way you view this page.

Playback Controller

Simple webpage to allow you to control the playback, just start, stop, pause buttons.>

Emergency Controller

Two buttons to use in case there is a breaking news event, and you want to stop the scheduler (so no playlist start automatically), and then resume it when the breaking news event is finished.
