What is Tagboard?
Tagboard is the real-time graphics and live production system for news, sports, and entertainment.

Does Tagboard replace my switcher or broadcast stack?
No. Tagboard is the graphics and engagement layer. It works alongside the tools you already use, like Grabyo, LiveU, vMix, OBS, Chyron, and Blackmagic, adding real-time graphics and interactivity with no rip-out required.
Do I need a dedicated graphics operator to use Tagboard?
No. Tagboard is built so anyone on your team can create and fly graphics. No specialized operator or years of training required, which is how teams produce more content without adding headcount.
Can Tagboard run automated graphics, without an operator?
Yes. For always-on screens like FAST channels and in-venue concourse displays (IPTV), teams build a graphics playlist, hit play, and let it cycle automatically. It is a set-it-and-forget-it workflow that keeps content fresh with no one actively operating.
Can I produce remotely, from anywhere?
Yes. Tagboard is cloud-based, so you can create and run productions from any location. All you need is a laptop and internet connection. Plus, with the Producer API and Stream Deck plugin, a single operator can run the entire show, graphics plus the rest of the tech stack, from one control surface.
