Cosmonova Broadcast Integrates Localisation Into Playout

Cosmonova Broadcast has released an update to COSMO | PLAYOUT, its channel origination and operations service, embedding content localisation as a native operational layer.

The update integrates both subtitling and dubbing directly into daily channel operations, aligning localisation with timing control and editorial responsibility for multilingual management.

COSMO | PLAYOUT supports automated subtitling in 39 languages, combining speech-to-text processing with LLM-based context-aware linguistic refinement. The system generates time-aligned subtitle files synchronised with the video track and supports manual post-editing within the same interface. The subtitling module is available free of charge during the trial period.

The update also introduces AI-based dubbing in 100 languages. The system generates dubbed audio tracks that preserve the original speaker's key vocal characteristics while enabling editorial refinement in a human-in-the-loop workflow to ensure linguistic accuracy and operational readiness before channel delivery.

Beyond localisation, the release expands operational automation with an automated transcoding module, an automated file integrity (health) check, and preview and export of SCTE-35 marker-related blocks for downstream advertising and monetisation workflows.

Additional updates include a system-wide UI refresh, performance optimisation for large-scale file and status handling, enhanced operational task rendering, updated subtitle-editing workflows with in-player preview, expanded CSV import options supporting multiple date formats, and improved internal time synchronisation.

With this release, COSMO | PLAYOUT consolidates localisation, compliance, playout, delivery preparation, analytics, and monetisation into a single operational environment, reducing reliance on fragmented toolchains.
