DESCRIPTION
The issuing organization is seeking a vendor to provide an integrated broadcast playout, automation, and graphics system. The solution must include robust monitoring, operational and system-health metrics, alerts, and open APIs such as REST to support future integration with internal web platforms and other systems.
The graphics functionality must support aspect-ratio-based alternatives, ensure graphics remain outside black space that may be cropped during downstream conversions honoring AFD, and provide AFD insertion based on file resolution, metadata, and database information. The system must also support database- and playlist-driven audio channel remapping, HTML5 and LOTTIE-based graphics and animations, dynamic-text snipes and lower thirds, full-screen billboards, numeric encoding integration, and logo support. Questions must be submitted by October 20, 2026.
