News Channels
Debate grids, breaking straps, and anchor windows re-produced vertically while the story is live — beating third-party clippers to your own moments.
HORIZON VERTICALSTUDIO · LIVE VERTICAL PRODUCTION
Every bulletin,
born vertical.
A virtual vertical studio that plugs into your production control room (PCR) — learns every visual layer in news context, and re-produces broadcast-ready 9:16 for both Live and VOD. Graphics, humans, tickers: nothing critical left behind.

Capabilities
From the gallery to 9:16, live
Your gallery produces the broadcast. VerticalStudio produces the vertical — from the same feed, at the same time.
One feed in. That’s the integration.
PCR Integration
VerticalStudio sits beside your production control room (PCR) like a plugin. One standard feed out of your existing chain, and the vertical production is on — for the live output and your VOD library alike.
- Integrates with any PCR — no gallery rebuild, no second control room
- Zero changes to the switcher, graphics chain, or playout — a cable, not a project
- Containerised deploy on commodity hardware — gallery workstation, MCR server, or cloud

Visual-Layer Intelligence
The engine learns the visual grammar of news — anchor windows, multi-guest debate boxes, lower thirds, tickers, full-screen graphics, PiP windows — and understands each layer in its editorial context.
- Detects and classifies every on-screen region, not just the people in it
- Understands news context: a debate grid, a market ticker, and a headline strap are treated as what they are
- Where AI-crop tools collapse on graphics-dense frames, layer intelligence is the whole point

Context-Aware Vertical Composition
Every layer is re-composed into 9:16 — the information is condensed to the vertical orientation without dropping the critical elements: graphics cuts, human cuts, ticker data, headline straps.
- 18+ vertical layouts — stacks, grids, PiP, ticker bands — with freely adjustable regions
- Every region is a live crop of your programme feed, placed where it belongs vertically
- Nothing critical left behind: guests, graphics, and tickers all make the cut

Programme Profiles & Live Switching
Each show’s compositions are saved once — anchor full, debate 2×3, markets main-plus-ticker — and recalled with a keystroke. Switching profiles is the vertical vision-mix.
- Set up once per programme format; every episode after is near-zero effort
- One operator covers multiple shows — a PA runs it after an hour
- Roadmap: AI detects layout changes in the feed and suggests the switch

Use cases
Built for graphics-dense live television
Exactly the content that automated centre-crops destroy — debate grids, tickers, result boards — is where VerticalStudio earns its place in the gallery.
Business & Markets
Stacked tickers, charts, and market bands — the content that centre-crops destroy — condensed into 9:16 with every number intact.
Regional-Language Broadcasters
Mobile-first, TV-second audiences get vertical-native bulletins without the headcount of a second production team.
Elections & Big Events
Result boards, swingometers, and multi-window coverage go vertical in real time — for the moments where speed-to-platform is the whole game.
Sports Networks
Live match coverage with score bugs and stats bands re-framed vertically for Shorts and Reels audiences as the action happens.
Debates & Talk Formats
The 4–6 guest argument is the product — VerticalStudio keeps every guest in frame with stacked and grid vertical layouts.
Business value
The economics of going vertical, live
Vertical isn't a nice-to-have output — it's where the audience, the algorithms, and the ad money are moving. VerticalStudio changes the cost structure of getting there.
Hours → seconds
Speed-to-platform is the whole game
Today, editors recut bulletins hours after air — the moment is cold by the time it posts. VerticalStudio puts the vertical out while the story is still live, when platform reach and engagement peak.
2–3 shifts
Replace headcount, not add it
The comparator isn’t software — it’s the vertical post-editors working shifts to keep up. One operator with saved profiles covers an entire lineup, and adds live capability that no post workflow can offer.
100% yours
Beat the clip pirates to your own content
Third-party clippers reframe your best moments and monetise them before you do. Publishing vertical-native first keeps the views, the audience relationship, and the revenue on your channels.
Under-35
Reach the audience TV is losing
News consumption for younger and mobile-first viewers has moved decisively to vertical short-form. Platforms structurally favour vertical-native content — horizontal rips with black bars underperform by design.
New inventory
Monetisation surfaces you don’t have today
A vertical live stream and a daily stream of Shorts and Reels create sponsorable, brandable, platform-monetisable inventory — from programming you are already producing.
VOD + Live
Sweat the archive too
The same studio and the same profiles run over your VOD library — turning years of horizontal content into vertical output with near-zero marginal effort.
Why VerticalStudio
A production tool, not an AI black box.
Nothing else sits beside the PCR, works on the live feed, understands layouts — not just faces — and needs one operator or less.
Layout-aware, not face-aware
Treats the frame as regions of editorial content — guest boxes, tickers, graphics — because that’s what news is. AI-crop tools track faces and lose everything else.
Live, not post
The vertical exists while the story is live. Post-production reframing tools structurally cannot compete on speed.
A cable, not a project
One additional encoder output from your existing chain. No PCR rebuild, no second gallery, no post-production queue.
Operator in control
Broadcasters keep the mix decision — nothing goes out that an operator didn’t shape. Critical for news trust and compliance.
Profile economics
The setup cost is paid once per show format — then every episode is near-zero marginal effort, and one operator covers multiple shows.
On-prem or cloud
Docker-containerised, runs on commodity hardware inside your walls — the feed never leaves the building unless you choose cloud.
Broadcast-grade latency
Glass-to-vertical well inside a 60-second SLA today — with a roadmap to sub-second via WebRTC.
Own the moment
Your vertical goes out while the TV moment is still hot — beating the clip pirates who monetise your content hours later.
Automation-ready
Every output carries what your downstream systems need — chaptering, contextual ads, compliance logging — without manual work.
Behaves like a vision mixer
Presets, keystrokes, live drag on the source — an operator model your gallery staff already understand, not a new discipline.
Progressive automation
Start with one operator per marquee show; profiles stretch one operator across shows; AI assist suggests and executes switches under supervision.
Fits the ReelCraft suite
Pairs with ReelCraft for dubbing, subtitles, and one-click multi-platform publishing — one vertical, every platform and language.
Vertical, live from the gallery.
One feed from your PCR in — a broadcast-ready 9:16 stream and vertical clips out, for both live and VOD. See it on your own programme formats.
