Incite MOS Playback Server Control
Bring your newsroom and playout operations together with the Incite MOS Playback Server Control.
Built for seamless integration between your NRCS (such as Octopus) and the Incite MAM, this solution ensures a smooth, reliable, and efficient rundown-to-air workflow.
Why It Matters
With direct MOS connectivity, producers and operators can move from newsroom rundown to on-air playout without added complexity.
Every approved clip is automatically prepared, transferred, and verified on the video server, so your team can focus on storytelling and production value — not file management.
The Incite MOS Playback Server Control ensures end-to-end reliability, giving broadcasters confidence in every step of the rundown-driven playout chain.
