Router Planner is a solution, which provides the ability to control switchers and routers via UI and schedule the event switching for single and multiple inputs and outputs.
At many TV studios, there is a powerful management tool to be found – a playout automation system that is also responsible for routers control. However, some distribution organizations, like cable or satellite operators, does not need automation systems in their workflows, but still routers are an essential part of their networks’ equipment and they should be managed by a third-party solution. In this case, Router Planner can be of use as it allows switching between multiple inputs and outputs in automated mode.
Each vendor has its own router management protocol and in this case Router Planner can be called a “universal solution” as it supports the most commonly used protocols. Besides, Router Planner’s “flexible” architecture offers a simple mechanism that allows adding new protocols.
Router Planner is based on client-server architecture. Intercommunication between a client and a server is possible by means of REST API.
