LinqTV Playout’s Drag-and-Drop Scheduler is one of its kind semi-automated video playout scheduler.

The scheduling space will be on the left-hand side. You just need to drag and drop the content from the right-hand side to the left-hand side of the screen. That’s it! Your content will be scheduled.

If required, you can adjust the start and end times later if you want, by clicking on the edit (pencil) button on the scheduled content.

Apart from scheduling content, you can also schedule gaps, add filler content, schedule repeating events, and do a lot more, with our drag-and-drop scheduler.

But you don’t know what will be telecasted at 8 PM. In such cases, you can add a gap of one hour, and then add the second content in its original schedule. Later, you can fill in relevant content in the gap duration.
