\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Plugins are additional options for SoftLab-NSK broadcast automation products: Forward TA, Forward TT, Forward TP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plugins are used to solve tasks that are beyond the standard features of these products. Each plugin has a highly specialized purpose and is designed to implement one specific function. For example: a plug-in to automatically insert ads using cues of different types, a plug-in for outputting an NDI stream, a plug-in for displaying subtitles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can connect any of the plugins when the corresponding function is required. Plugins are purchased in addition to the base product. Acquired separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

PLEASE NOTE:<\/h4>

Plugins are additional options that are purchased separately, as an addition to the main product. A temporary license for up to three months can be provided to test any plugin. To obtain a temporary license, contact technical support<\/a> by saving the information about the product you are using using the SaveInfo utility.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
