OPLAN BMS

Broadcast Management System

Plan, schedule, sell and deliver — above any playout. Five modules that work as one system or one at a time.

Program Planning

From the yearly grid down to tomorrow's playlist.

  • Long-range, multi-day and daily playlists — three planning horizons on one schedule
  • Strip scheduling — place a series across days in one step
  • Repeat chains — repeats follow the original airing automatically
  • Break structure — commercial breaks planned with the grid
  • On-air graphics — logos, age ratings, crawls and warnings as secondary events
  • Regional and language variants of one master schedule

Content & Rights

Every program, asset and license in one catalog.

  • Custom metadata for programs and assets
  • Segment marking in the built-in player
  • Rights agreements with territories and license periods
  • Run tracking — runs left checked as you schedule
  • Shared library across channels
  • Royalty and cue-sheet reports by template

Ad Sales & Traffic

Sell, place, bill and reconcile every spot.

  • Rate cards and pricing rules
  • Insertion orders and contracts
  • Media plans — multi-channel campaigns and bonus spots
  • Auto-placement into breaks
  • Break inventory tracking and fill rate
  • Invoices and As-Run reconciliation

Promo

Promos, bumpers and idents placed by your rules.

  • Promo rotation
  • Auto-placement rules
  • Content-linked promos — promos follow the programs they announce
  • Bumper schemes per channel and daypart

Delivery & Reporting

Hand off to air and close the loop.

  • 15+ playout integrations with native playlist formats
  • File delivery to air and cleanup of expired media
  • EPG / XMLTV export

  • Sales, fill-rate and management reports
