FiveCast was commissioned to create a fully automated playout system for the music transmitter Würfelzucker. Clip information had to be displayed automatically and dynamically together with graphic elements. Supplied play lists create the programme flow.

The software modules "Air Box" (video) together with an integrated programme scheduler and the "Titlebox" were used for the dynamic (play-list controlled) introduction of the graphic elements. Both components are supplied by the company Playbox (Sofia/Bulgaria). An existing programme planning tool was used on the client side. FiveCast developed a conversion module whereby the customer generated XML playlists were automatically transferred into the playbox-conform target formats.
