Content Manager
Ingest, describe and organise programs, promos and commercials. Break patterns, music cues, EPG text, versions and technical metadata stay attached for life.
SaaS
AI-driven scheduling and playout
for linear broadcasting.
Cloud based TV channel management. Set the rules once and the AI builds your whole schedule in under a minute.
Automation where
it actually pays off.
Manual, highly repetitive tasks are where mistakes reach air. Integrating dependent processes takes that error margin out of the workflow - raising efficiency of operation and optimizing the cost of broadcasting.

AI scheduling
Your whole schedule.
Planned in under a minute.
Set the rules once: dayparts, break patterns, rights windows, repeat policy. The AI builds the grid around them, checks every restriction as it goes, and hands back a playlist that is ready for air.
- Rules firstDayparts, break patterns and repeat policy drive every placement.
- Rights awareLicence windows, restrictions and music cue are checked as it plans.
- Rebuild in secondsChange one rule and the whole grid reflows around it.
- You keep controlEvery choice stays visible and editable before it reaches air.
AI generated EPG
Every title described.
From what is actually said.
The system transcribes the episode's own dialogue and writes the guide entry from it: a short synopsis for the grid, a long one for the platform, and key art to carry them. Not a press release and not last season's blurb, but the most faithful EPG a channel can run. Nothing is published until somebody has read it.
- From the dialogueSpeech to text over the episode itself, so the entry describes what airs.
- Two lengthsOne for the grid, one for the platform, both in house style.
- Any languageThe same entry written again for every market you air in.
- Nothing unreadEvery entry waits for a person before it reaches the guide.
Independent scheduling
Keep your playout.
Change how you plan.
mediaTool Scheduling stands on its own. It plans the grid, clears it, and hands finished playlists to most leading playout systems on the market. When you are ready for our playout, the same schedule drives it.
