Cost-effective, still and clip store, easy to operate multi-channel playout device, iStore Pro is crazy fast, designed for unforgiving environments such as live control rooms, remote production trucks, news studios, where manual operation should happen fast and precise.

i‑Store PRO is a real-time broadcast manual play-out device, able to display — with no rendering required — professional file formats such as XDCAM HD 420/422, Apple ProRes, Avid DNxHD, DVC PRO HD, MJPEG, MPEG‑2, MXF and MOV. This allows direct playback of a wide range of production-ready files, easing workflow and reducing operational costs by removing unnecessary transcoding steps.
Unlike many automated playout systems, i‑Store PRO is specifically fine-tuned for manual operation.
It is fast, intuitive, and precise — making it especially useful in live production environments where immediate control and responsiveness are critical. Its design minimizes operator errors and speeds up decision-making, helping teams work more efficiently under time pressure.
Features include:
i‑Store PRO is designed to integrate smoothly into existing broadcast workflows, whether in news production, live event coverage, sports arenas, or master control rooms. With versatile format support, low latency playback, and an operator-friendly interface, it delivers dependable performance in environments that demand both speed and precision.
