Technical material

Everything you need to evaluate it, on one page

Requirements, what the installation ships with, how licensing works and what happens the day something fails. Made to print and take to a meeting.

What Viper is

What it does	Playout and automation for television channels: the signal goes on air by itself, with the schedule already loaded
How it installs	One installer, on a Windows PC. Nothing to assemble from parts
What you do NOT need	Proprietary cards, dedicated servers or third-party licences the channel has to buy
Language	Spanish, including support

The station service	Runs as a Windows service: it starts with the machine, with nobody logged in
The video engine	Bundled in the installer. Nothing to buy or install separately
The application	The screen operators use, on the same machine or on others across the network
The customer area	Web: installer download, the account's stations and support tickets

Per station	Every machine that goes on air consumes one seat of the account
Workstation seats	They operate a station over the network and also consume a seat
What is licensed	Each channel enables what it uses: recording, for instance, is licensed separately
Without internet	The station stays on air for a grace period, which has an end; the licence revalidates when the connection returns
Decommissioning a machine	Frees its seat, which becomes available for another

Support	By ticket, from the customer area, with history
Who answers	The team that builds the product
Updates	Included while maintenance is current
Record of what aired	The As-Run keeps what went out, at what time, and whether automation or a person fired it. It exports to CSV

Measured on a real installation, not estimated.

	Full station	Workstation
Processor	4 cores with AVX2 (Intel Haswell or AMD Zen onwards). Recommended: 6 or 8	Dual core — any office PC from the last few years
Memory	8 GB minimum · 16 GB recommended	4 GB minimum · 8 GB recommended
Graphics	A card with OpenGL 4.5. A modern integrated GPU holds one channel; for more than one, or for heavy graphics, a dedicated Nvidia	Integrated is enough: a workstation never goes on air, it only draws the interface
Disk	SSD. 2 GB for the program, plus your media library separately	SSD, 500 MB
Operating system	Windows 11 (recommended) or Windows 10, 64-bit	Windows 11 or Windows 10, 64-bit

The full station is the one that goes on air. Workstations are the machines used for scheduling, ingest or building graphics.
These numbers are for one signal on air and recording at the same time. If you plan to run two signals off the same machine, talk to us first.
Size the media library by hours of material: one hour at 8 Mbps takes about 3.6 GB.
It does not run on a virtual machine: the video engine needs real hardware.

Tell us about your channel and what you go on air with today. We'll show you the product running, and then we'll talk numbers.

We use your details only to reply to you. We don't share them with anyone.
