Live broadcast graphics, rendered in the playout

Nimbus renders HTML5 graphics inside the playout, at output resolution and with alpha. Your own HTML and JavaScript pages with live RSS or JSON data run as they are, and templates take their data from the schedule or the API.

Where graphics get their data

  • The schedule

    Templates take data from the schedule, so graphics follow what is on air.

  • The API and MCP

    Trigger and update graphics through the REST API, or from an AI assistant through the Nimbus MCP server.
