Cuez (prev Tinkerlist) and is a cloud-native production software company based in Belgium. Its core products – Cuez Storydesk, Cuez Rundown and Cuez Automator – take a show from script to air: the rundown is the plan, and Automator is the engine that executes it.
Automator is a no-code automation layer. Production teams build flows visually from logic blocks – AND, OR, IF – with macros and timecode triggers, and drive more than forty devices through open, bidirectional APIs. Automator can also be installed on premise or run in the cloud. No specialised appliance required.
Broadcasters and production teams use Cuez to run news, sports and daily shows, and Cuez has been a core participant in the IBC Accelerator projects on AI and automation.
Cuez’s automation platform controls both GV’s K-Frame production switchers and AMPP alongside 40+ third party devices enabling production teams to automate complex rundowns, camera presets, graphics triggers, and audio mixing from a single automation layer.
Create custom automation flows using logic blocks like AND, OR, and IF - no coding required. Build powerful macros, set triggers based on timecodes, and automate repetitive tasks with a simple visual editor. Design an automation once, copy and paste anywhere.
Automator reaches any registered workload with an API. More secure, greater functionality and easily updatable - control at platform depth, not a bolted-on protocol. Of course, Automator still supports a wide range of legacy protocols, including MOS, VDCP, VISCA, OSC and more.
Easily upgrade hardware or switch providers without disrupting operations - your Automator workflow stays intact and can be run in the cloud or on premises.
Automator drives K-Frame production switchers - including K-Frame XP - with real-time status and metadata exchange, so the automation always knows the state of the suite it is driving.
Any NRCS connects via MOS and Blockz, so the rundown the newsroom writes is synced with rundown the automation runs - your editorial workflow stays exactly where it is.
Automator is directly connected to your Cuez Rundown. Any updates or new assets (media, audio, graphics, etc.) added there are instantly available in Automator, ensuring your control layer is always up-to-date.
