Nexio+ Channelbrand™ is a cost-effective, multichannel branding solution, combining integrated branding and video playback functions all in a single, flexible platform. It simplifies the creation, display and maintenance of a consistent brand, allowing broadcasters to get to air quickly and simply, with data-driven content, logos, time/temperature display, rolls/crawls, and EAS information.
Available in a scalable channel density, Nexio+ Channelbrand can be deployed as a standalone solution; connected to a larger Nexio+ playout solution and ADC™ or D-Series™ automation; or integrated with third-party control and automation systems. Content can be created online or offline and include L-bar effects, multilevel animation/still insertion, and data-driven elements for template-based playout. Offering both two-channel and four-channel versions, Nexio+ Channelbrand provides a flexible solution for all broadcasters.
