Integrations & deployment
One broadcast ecosystem. Run it anywhere.
Connect automation, audio, video, cameras, streaming, metadata and cloud services in one CLOSE RadioTV workflow—deployed on-premises, in our managed cloud, or across both.
- Build around your existing infrastructure
- Scale without rebuilding the workflow

Hybrid flexibility
Integration without disruption
Modernize the station without throwing away what already works.
CLOSE RadioTV is designed to become the intelligent layer that connects your operation. Keep the consoles, cameras, servers and workflows that make sense. Replace the complexity that does not.
ConnectBring audio, video, control, metadata and distribution into one workflow.
ChooseRun locally, in the cloud, or divide the operation between both.
GrowAdd channels, destinations, storage and processing as the station evolves.
Your station. Your deployment model.
Choose where each part of the operation performs best.
There is no forced architecture. CLOSE can live entirely inside the station, entirely in Cloud Virtual, or connect both environments as one system.
OPTION 01On-PremisesLOCAL CONTROL
Maximum control inside your facility.
Install CLOSE on dedicated station hardware and connect directly to local audio, video, cameras, consoles and broadcast I/O.
- Direct access to local devices and studio infrastructure
- Native multi-window operation across control-room monitors
- Local media, processing and playout under your control
- Ideal for facilities with established engineering teams
BEST WHENPhysical I/O and complete local ownership matter most.
OPTION 02Cloud VirtualABSOLUTE FREEDOM
Your complete station, beyond the station building.
Automation, mixing, audio, video, processing, storage and streaming run on dedicated cloud infrastructure managed by the CLOSE team.
- No local server room or broadcast computer fleet
- Scheduled automation keeps running beyond the local facility
- Remote access for authorized teams from anywhere
- Infrastructure, maintenance and technical support included
BEST WHENYou want lower operational burden and freedom from one physical site.
OPTION 03HybridBEST OF BOTH
Keep local immediacy. Add cloud resilience.
Place time-sensitive studio I/O on-premises while moving automation, storage, remote access, processing or distribution into the cloud.
- Local studio devices with centralized cloud services
- Flexible migration without changing everything at once
- Remote contribution and distributed production
- Architecture tailored to each signal and responsibility
BEST WHENYou need physical studio control and cloud-scale operations together.
CLOSE Cloud Virtual
Your entire station in the cloud. We take care of the rest.
Move the technical core of the radio or television operation into a dedicated managed environment. Your team creates and operates. CLOSE manages the platform behind it.
No racks.No local servers.No technical burden.

Independent from one building
If the studio facility loses connectivity, scheduled automation and cloud-based distribution can continue operating from the cloud.
Convert infrastructure into a service
Reduce capital spending on servers, replacements, local storage and specialized technical maintenance.
Resources that grow with the station
Start with 2 TB of storage and add dedicated processing, memory, storage or channels as required for an additional monthly investment.
One team behind the complete platform
Software, cloud infrastructure and technical support are coordinated as one managed solution.

Integration availability depends on the selected CLOSE modules, external system access and project requirements. Our team validates the complete signal and control path before deployment.
Native CLOSE integration
Products become more powerful when they operate as one system.
Each CLOSE product can solve a specific need. Together, they form an end-to-end operation where content, control and signals move without repetitive manual handoffs.
Build a smarter station
Less infrastructure to manage. More operation to improve.
Reduce duplicated systems
One connected ecosystem replaces unnecessary transfers, isolated workstations and fragmented operational steps.
Use people where they create value
Automate repetitive technical work and let the team focus on programming, production, sales and audience growth.
Operate from more places
Authorized staff can collaborate across studios, offices, homes and events while sharing the same broadcast workflow.
Expand without starting over
Add storage, processing, channels, remote sources and destinations around the architecture already in place.
Your infrastructure should fit your strategy
Build the station you need today—and the architecture you can grow tomorrow.
