OnTheAir Node

OnTheAir Node is Softron's latest tool for video playout and ingest on the Mac. It's built to be affordable, dependable, and customizable, making it a great choice if you're looking for a video server with an open client-server design.

Remote Control Made Easy

You can control OnTheAir Node from anywhere over the network! This means one computer in your control room can manage several OnTheAir Node servers sitting in another area, like a machine room. Super handy, right?

A New Era for Mac-Based Video Servers

With its amazing openness, OnTheAir Node really changes the game for Mac-based playout servers. It allows other applications—like Traffic and Media Asset Management tools—to easily take charge of a reliable playout server that does real-time media cataloging and validation.

Automatic Launch and Operation

This software starts up automatically when you turn on your computer. Plus, it picks up right where it left off after a power outage! You can run it on any Intel-based Mac that has a compatible video card from brands like AJA, Blackmagic Design, or Matrox installed in machines like the MacPro or Xserve.

Efficient Video Output and Asset Management

OnTheAir Node doesn’t just output video to any available port on your Mac; it also catalogs assets in one or more scan folders. It keeps all connected client applications (like OnTheAir Live or OnTheAir Manager) updated whenever new assets show up or get deleted.

Your Clips at a Glance

The system checks if everything is valid and compatible. You'll even get info about your clips in XML format! This makes it super easy for any other third-party app to grab details about your clips—like video codec, audio sample rate, creation date, last modified date, finder label, and more!
