vCard Exhibitor Profile
We have many, many new things at this IBC. “Two new applications (AMP Server and OnTheAir WebLink), an application that was announced previously and is now released (OnTheAir MOS Gateway), and a host of new features or improvements for all our existing software. See below in our highlights the new features and improvements.
Softron's software are macOS applications that are very flexible and can fit in a lot of different workflows in production and broadcast. On our booth at IBC we have three workstations showing typical usage of our software. We will be focusing on our major announcements, and of course showing how the Mac Pro is a beast of a workstation.

Newsroom
Thanks to features such as Cue mode, the remaining time announcement, extensive hardware integration so you can start playback from your production switcher, Softron's playout applications are widely used in Newsroom.
At IBC 2023 we are releasing a new software, OnTheAir MOS Gateway, which is the middleman between your NRCS system and OnTheAir Video, Softron's playout application using the MOS protocol.
Master Control
More than 100 TV stations are using Softron's playout applications to broadcast their channel 24/7 thanks of its easy to use scheduler.
At IBC 2023 we are releasing another new software, AMP Server, which is a multi-channel video playback control leveraging Advanced Media Protocol and the power of OnTheAir Video.
Live Productions
Live productions, be it for sport, music, theaters, or anything live use most of our applications. Our playout software to show video on screen. Our recording solutions to record multiple channels. And our replay software to do instant replay in all kind of events.
The new Mac Pro is there, and it's poweful! We are showing 24 4K60p real time record on that Mac, and showcase High Frame Rate capture which allows to group multiple inputs and outputs to support very high frame rates or formats suchs as 8K120p
NEW at IBC 2023! We started working on the MOS protocol a few years ago, and the OnTheAir MOS Gateway software is now available. OnTheAir MOS Gateway brings your NRCS workflow into OnTheAir Video in a way no other product can. Active running orders are immediately available to OnTheAir Video with story titles and MOS object status. Producers can add, remove, or rearrange stories and the playlist is immediately updated.
NEW at IBC 2023! At Softron, our solutions are open and there are mulitple ways to control OnTheAir Video, and we are adding one more with the support of the AMP Protocol. Bring the performance of OnTheAir Video to your live production. AMP Server makes playlists available to your switcher or production automation as media folders. You can have unique playlists per channel, per show, or even one shared playlist between all the channels. Playlists can be made manually in OnTheAir Video, or via OnTheAir MOS Gateway, or by massive folder-based playlist containing all your media in a network attached storage.
NEW at IBC 2023! OnTheAir WebLink is a multi-web page broadcast video solution. Built to output web pages in video standards, even as you multitask in other applications. Leveraging the video engine of OnTheAir products, WebLink supports external keying and resolutions up to 8K. You can output to a video device such as AJA, Blackmagic-Design or Deltacast, or to NDI to use it in your production. You can also use our "direct link" feature to either record it with MovieRecorder or MovieRecorder Express or use it in conjunction with a solution such as "Singular" in OnTheAir CG or OnTheAir Video with the Dynamic Graphics Overlay option to overlay graphics on top of video.
