About Makalu¶

Makalu is a software-defined playout automation suitable for broadcasters and content providers of all kinds and sizes. It enables a full-featured end-to-end signal workflow – from ingest to distribution – and covers additional media tasks, including storage, media management, transcoding, graphics, planning, playout, and streaming. It is designed for managing and distributing linear content to social media, broadcast, IPTV, and OTT platforms.

The system is based on a manufacturer-independent, microservice-oriented architecture, enabling maximum flexibility and scalability. It runs on most public or hosted private clouds as well as on virtualized environments and on-premises. This allows a wide range of applications, including hybrid broadcast concepts (for example, cloud-based planning and physical playout servers).
