What Is Playbook?

Playbook is the one destination where CMSI clients log in, access services, and orchestrate their workflows.

Playbook is a secure, web-based portal that connects the entire production ecosystem. It allows users to view, move, group, edit, review, and route content with speed and confidence through a single interface.

What is Included in Playbook:

TX File can be installed directly in the control room, on a truck, on an EVS XFile, or on any computer connected to it. Once logged in, it uses CMSI’s file acceleration and secure transfer technology to send your archived content or melts to CMSI Playbook with no external drives, no manual uploads, and no delays.

Built for high-performance broadcast workflows, TX File ensures data integrity, encryption, and seamless delivery even under the pressure of live deadlines.

Multiviewer: Monitor Your World

A browser-based multiviewer for monitoring streams, feeds, or return paths directly within Playbook. Real-time visibility, no specialized hardware needed.

Browse: Review, Search, and Organize Content

Browse provides simple, intuitive access to view clips, create groups, pull selects, and prepare assets before they move downstream.

Monitoring: Confidence in Every File

Monitoring verifies completeness, integrity, and accuracy of your stored or transferred media. No more wondering whether a clip arrived intact. Playbook gives you confirmation.

TX File: Send Content Anywhere

TX File accelerates and secures transfers from your melt, archive, or EVS XFile. A single configuration lets you push media directly into Playbook without hard drives, manual steps, or delays.

RX File: Bring Media Where It Needs to Go

RX File completes the loop, securely delivering content from Playbook to trucks, post houses, studios, and cloud environments.

Edit: Your Remote Editing Gateway

CMSI’s remote edit access — including partnership workflows with Remote Picture Labs — live inside Playbook. One login gives editors high-performance access to Avid, Adobe, and other environments used across live sports and entertainment.

Clip Catcher: Highlights in Real Time

Clip Catcher automatically generates clips as a live event unfolds. By using game data or production triggers, it assembles highlights and packages in real time. Clip Catcher can integrate with existing production tools or be driven through Playbook’s API, allowing teams to create and capture moments instantly from broadcast servers.
