In this interview, Graham Sharp introduces Vipe’s radically new approach to playout, designed to replace fixed, overprovisioned infrastructure with a flexible, adaptive model. By analysing schedules and applying machine learning to event complexity, Vipe automatically scales resources, ensuring broadcasters “only pay for what they play.” Built on containerised microservices, the system activates and deactivates resources on demand, reducing costs and improving reliability whether on-premises or in the cloud. Graham also highlights Vipe’s automated quality checking and intuitive interfaces, which adapt dynamically for live and file-based content, delivering a lean, resilient, and future-ready playout ecosystem
