The core processes of media management, content creation and playout are the domain of the dira! solution suite. Originally derived from “digital radio,” dira! today means much more than radio solutions. It represents a direct, intelligent, reliable and adaptable suite of television, radio, newsroom and new media production and playout applications supporting the core workflows that any broadcaster needs, covered by a proven digital system.

dira! Solution Suite

The dira! solution suite encompasses the entire production workflow required for media management in radio journalism: from broadcast production and the exchange of material and programs, through broadcast scheduling, to actual onair playout, post production and archiving.

Content management

At the heart of any system enabling media production is an application to manage, browse and access that content. In a dira! installation, this application is called dira! Highlander. This content management system enables editorial teams to create and modify media assets and metadata as well as to search for selected data.

Radio Visualisation

Viura is our solution for intelligent camera control in radio studios for editors and presenters. The solution works manufacturer-independent from playout and editorial software on the basis of selected video hardware and our control software.

By microphone-level detection, fader starts or by key action, the software automatically switches to the corresponding configured camera in the studio. Packaging elements, such as lower thirds or broadcast logos, are generated automatically and can also be displayed automatically or by pressing a button. Additional overlays, images or video sequences can be imported from third-party software.
