Myriad Playout v5/6 Edition Comparison

Modified on Tue, 24 Sep at 12:47 PM

 

Summary of differences:

 

  • Myriad Studio licenses include the ability to run live & automated shows via the Log. This includes the dashboard but the main thing is that you can switch a Studio license to an active playout mode (Live or Autofade). This means you need to use a Studio license wherever you need to broadcast from (studios and automation PC for example).
  • Myriad Admin licenses include everything in a Studio license except any active playout mode. So neither the Dashboard or the ability to enter Live or Autofade modes are included. This means that this license can be used anywhere you want to access all admin functions, voice track, schedule or edit the Log, but do not ever need to broadcast from.
  • Myriad Lite licenses only offer access to the Audio Wall functions and associated tools (like Favourites and the Pad). It does not have access to the Library tab, Log tab or any live broadcast functions. This means it is best suited to a role where you want to add or edit content but do not need to voice track, edit the Log, Schedule or present live / automated shows.
