What you can test in 7 days

The trial is a full Veset Nimbus account. Nothing is locked.

  • Media library and ingest

    Bring files in from S3-compatible storage or SFTP, and organise them with metadata, tags and folders.

  • Scheduling

    Build playlists in the console, or import BXF, XML, XLSX, CSV or JSON. An XMLTV EPG comes from the schedule.

  • Live inputs

    SRT, HLS, RTMP and other live inputs, with fallback to a backup input or the emergency playlist when a feed drops.

  • Graphics

    HTML5 graphics rendered in the playout, including your own HTML pages with live data, plus L-shape and picture-in-picture.

  • SCTE-35 markers

    Markers from the schedule or the API on TS-based outputs, for ad insertion downstream, e.g. AWS Elemental MediaTailor.

  • Outputs and the REST API

    Several outputs per playout, each with its own encoder, and the REST API that covers the full platform.
