intermediaPRISM
The Smart Way to Run Media Servers
Plan and control media server playouts via drag & drop. Simple, secure and without specialized technical knowledge. Designed for content managers, marketing teams, AV professionals and operators of professional media installations.
Save up to 80% of media server operating effort
With intermediaPRISM, operating media servers becomes possible without technical expertise. It replaces the media server typical technical control logic with calendar-based scheduling:
Content is organized by time and playback location - not by scenes, timelines, or cues.
This makes playout planning intuitive, stable and manageable without continuous technical supervision during operation.
Connect to your preferred media server
intermediaPRISM integrates media servers via their native APIs, continuously monitors their current status and works without workarounds in the signal chain – ensuring reliable operation and clean integration.
Comprehensive format and codec support guarantees maximum playout performance.
intermediaPRISM supports, among others:
- Pixera (AV Stumpfl)
- Picturall (Analog Way)
- TouchDesigner (Derivative)
- Hippotizer (Green Hippo)
- Vertex (ROSS)
Plan safely and operate reliably
Distorted images, cropped content, black screens or unexpected content at the wrong time – many issues only become visible during live operation.
intermediaPRISM detects such situations during planning and alerts you early.
This ensures stable playouts, correct visuals and smooth operation without surprises.
Proof of playback included
Actual content playback is recorded directly from connected media servers and transparently documented.
Proof of Play reports are available as PDF or CSV for billing, reporting, and compliance purposes.
The Status quo: workarounds and add-on systems
Media servers are optimized for real-time performance and operation by specialized technical staff and not for editorial or creative workflows.
Existing approaches rely on custom solutions, often coupling media servers with additional products or project-specific developments. The consequences:
-
Increased risk of errors due to complex operation
-
Fragile system chains
-
High costs for commissioning, service, and support
-
Reduced performance
