How can we help?
If you want to sleep better at night, automate your master control with Crispin, a Sony Group company. Backed by two decades of expertise, Crispin is a recognized leader.
Channel automation with NewsWheel
Extend your audience without expanding your staff. Crispin’s NewsWheel automates a 24-hour news channel for over-the-air and web-based OTT. Featuring NewsPlayX, the system coordinates Crispin’s Master Control with the station’s traffic and newsroom production systems. You can support live news, weather cut-ins, commercial breaks and all of the functions needed for a live news environment.
How do you schedule commercials over the top?
Crispin presents ad insertion for the age of OTT streaming. Our OTTlink™ module translates your on-air advertising schedule into signals for downstream OTT systems. Maintain your rules for viewership, including regional or subscription-based blackouts. Target audiences with signaling to support Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI). And relax. OTTlink™ works with the hardware and software so many broadcasters already have.
When disaster strikes, will you be ready?
Will fires, floods, tornados or hurricanes knock you off the air when your audiences need you most? Crispin master control and the Ci Media Cloud Platform protect your operations with robust disaster recovery. Our cloud-based switcher, media player, graphics and control interface can orchestrate live streams from your ENG cameras and combine them with file-based content.

With Crispin’s LoadingDock and the Ci Media Cloud Platform, it’s suddenly easier than ever to acquire, aggregate and distribute content wherever and whenever you need it. We can simplify even the most demanding distribution systems, lower costs and reduce boring, repetitive tasks.
