Broadcast Radio has released a plugin for Myriad Playout 7.1 that enables integration with Elgato Stream Deck hardware. The update allows operators to map physical buttons to various broadcast control functions, including media player management, log navigation, and recording triggers.
This integration signals a shift toward using consumer-grade tactile interfaces to replace or augment expensive, specialized broadcast control surfaces. By enabling network-based control, Broadcast Radio provides smaller streaming operations with the flexibility to manage playout remotely without dedicated hardware consoles. This move aligns with the broader industry trend of software-defined broadcasting leveraging mass-market peripherals for professional workflows. Watch for whether other playout providers adopt similar third-party hardware plugins to simplify studio setups for hybrid streaming and radio environments.
The move toward flexible, software-centric audio workflows is gaining momentum, as seen in recent Blackmagic Design Fairlight Live releases that prioritize SMPTE 2110 integration for modern production environments. Other manufacturers are also focusing on distributed broadcast workflows to support remote production teams, including remote sports production initiatives. For those looking to expand their control surface capabilities, native DaVinci Resolve commands are also becoming available via similar plugin architectures.
Broadcast Radio has launched native Elgato Stream Deck integration for Myriad Playout 7.1. This update allows radio and streaming operators to map media players, log navigation, and recording controls to physical buttons. This shift toward consumer-grade tactile interfaces provides smaller operations with flexible, network-based control, reducing the need for expensive, specialized broadcast consoles.
Users can map broadcast functions like media player controls, jingle favorites, and recording triggers to physical buttons on the Elgato hardware instead of using software shortcuts.
Yes, the integration supports network-based control, allowing the Elgato hardware to manage Myriad software running on a separate PC across a local network.
Yes, the hardware displays can be color-coded based on media category, item type, or specific media IDs to provide visual feedback to the user.
It signals a trend toward using consumer-grade tactile interfaces to replace expensive, specialized broadcast control surfaces, offering smaller operations more flexibility in managing playout remotely.
