MediaOps Plan version 1.5 is here. This data-driven solution continues to redefine how media and broadcast operations plan, operate, and optimize their media services. Released on March 6th, this update introduces several capabilities that further simplify and enhance how you schedule and manage jobs and resources in your media operation.
As media operations grow, manual scheduling and resource management quickly become time-consuming and difficult to scale. MediaOps Plan 1.5 introduces new automation and resource management capabilities that help teams reduce operational effort, improve efficiency, and make better use of their existing resources.
So, what’s new in MediaOps Plan 1.5?
Defining automated actions
A key enhancement in this release is the introduction of automated actions, bringing greater efficiency and consistency to your workflows.
With MediaOps Live on top of MediaOps Plan, scheduling configurations can now be extended by defining automated actions directly to nodes. This enables teams to streamline repetitive operational tasks and reduce manual intervention.
You can leverage any automation script for this, but orchestration scripts bring an extra advantage: they support profile parameters as input arguments. This allows operators to easily configure, adapt, and reuse automation across different scenarios, increasing flexibility and scalability within their workflows.
Resource pool categories
To improve usability in complex environments, resource pools can now be organized using categories.
By assigning resource pools to specific categories, users can quickly filter and navigate within Scheduling. This makes it significantly easier to help locate the right resources without unnecessary searching, especially in larger or more dynamic deployments.
Managing resources through code
Finally, resource management through code is now supported. Through public NuGet libraries, developers have access to helper classes and methods to interact with MediaOps Plan objects within Resource Studio. This simplifies programmatic management, reduces development effort, and enables tighter integration with existing tooling and automation pipelines.
Together, these improvements help media operations reduce manual effort, simplify day-to-day scheduling tasks, and scale workflows more efficiently. MediaOps Plan 1.5 provides more flexibility while helping teams save valuable operational time.
