Composition

The program can be built by a compose stage rather than passed straight through — a Shot Bar of named shots keys a graphic over the feed, preview-then-take, and the composed picture drives the delivery ladder like any other source.

01 A composed program on air

What reaches air is built by the compose stage, not passed straight from the ingest — the program hero carries the composed picture, the feed with a score bug keyed over it.

02 The Shot Bar

Named shots as tiles — the clean feed, commentator picture-in-picture shapes, an L-bar, a lower third, a score bug — each a single take, with the live program and its preview above. Shots whose sources aren’t live are greyed out with the reason.

03 Preview, then take

Select a shot and preview it: the look is staged on an off-air preview bus, without touching what’s on air, until Take commits it.

04 The advanced compositor

Behind a toggle, the full compose surface — every layout preset, the sources ordered into layers, and saved scenes — for the looks the named shots don’t cover.
