PLAYDECK overview

What is PLAYDECK?

PLAYDECK is professional Windows video playout and ingest software managing videos, graphics, audio, and live inputs across up to eight channels simultaneously. Designed for broadcast networks, television stations, live event production companies, and media professionals, this solution delivers high-performance playback supporting up to 8K resolutions at 60 fps with full alpha channel keying. To ensure efficient workflows under high-pressure live production environments, the software offers native playback for heavy industry codecs including Apple ProRes, HAP, NotchLC, H.264, and H.265 directly out of the box without requiring time-consuming pre-conversion. Signal routing is highly flexible, offering seamless integration with standard broadcast hardware and IP protocols such as Blackmagic Design, AJA Video Systems, Bluefish444, NewTek NDI, and extended Windows desktops. The specialized Studio Edition features edit-while-ingest for live recording and simultaneous timeline editing or clip export. Smart automation enables manual, remote, or scheduled playbacks with advanced looping options. Audio routing handles up to 32 channels with broadcast-grade ITU 1770 loudness normalization. Built for international production crews, the intuitive user interface natively supports nine built-in languages, providing a globally trusted solution for reliable live events, broadcasting, and permanent installations.
