coralbay.tv adds three graphics integrations, near-live workflows at IBC 2025

The triple graphics integration gives coralbay.tv's cloud-native playout platform compatibility with six distinct HTML5 authoring tools, positioning coralPlay as an agnostic playout layer rather than a closed graphics ecosystem. The Loopic integration's support for EBU OGraf — the open specification whose version 1 reached production-ready status in September 2025 — aligns coralbay.tv with an industry push toward vendor-neutral broadcast graphics that could reduce lock-in for playout customers. The near-live workflow additions (crash record, in-progress review, play-while-record) target a practical pain point: fast-turnaround live event production where ingestion, editing, and playout overlap. Watch whether coralbay.tv's recently announced customer wins, including Whakaata Māori (July 2025) and DigitalGlue/TBN's 10-channel deployment (March 2026), adopt these graphics integrations in production.

coralbay.tv has been steadily building its graphics partner ecosystem over the past year. At NAB 2025 in March, the company first demonstrated its VIZ flowics integration alongside existing support for Adobe Animate, Google Web Designer, Singular.Live, and SPX. The IBC 2025 announcement adds Loopic and VIZrt channel branding to that roster, bringing the total to six supported graphics tools. According to Loopic's own documentation, the integration enables Loopic-created graphics to serve as DVE layouts inside coralPlay, with key shapes defining multi-source video layouts and custom transitions — extending beyond simple overlay graphics.

The EBU OGraf specification referenced in the Loopic integration reached its version 1 production-ready milestone in September 2025, per the EBU's OGraf project site. OGraf defines a standardized format for HTML-based broadcast graphics, allowing a graphic created once to be rendered across compliant systems. The OGraf Control API (Server API) remains in draft, with finalization expected mid-2026. The specification has drawn involvement from stakeholders across the graphics supply chain, including representatives from TV2 Denmark, SPX, and Loopic itself, according to EBU project materials. The OGraf GitHub repository, created in March 2025, lists 92 stars and 10 forks, indicating modest but active developer engagement.

The broader IBC2025 show reflected industry momentum around cloud-native playout, hybrid workflows, and interoperability standards. According to a post-show summary by Viaccess-Orca (September 2025), the show drew 43,858 visitors from 170 countries, with cloud-native and hybrid workflows described as shifting from theoretical adoption to operational reality. coralbay.tv's customer pipeline appears to reflect that shift: the company was selected by New Zealand broadcaster Whakaata Māori in July 2025, and in March 2026, DigitalGlue and Trinity Broadcasting Network chose coralbay.tv to automate playout for 10 channels — the company's largest publicly disclosed multi-channel deployment to date. coralbay.tv also announced UHD playout with GPU-accelerated HDR pipelines in April 2026, signaling continued investment in performance scaling alongside its graphics and workflow expansions.
