Operators can change the live playlist, even the event currently on-air.
Graphics functionality provides high-quality graphics for channel branding with logos, lower thirds, tickers, scrolls, and squeeze.

Playout_Boma generates an As-Run log created from the actual content that was played. The logger can be used to perform As-Run log analysis.
Playout_Boma integrates with many third-party NAS storage devices that provide standard SMB/CIFS access and there is no limit to the volume capacity.
