What "Multiple Outputs" Means?
From a single graphics package, you can publish multiple independent outputs.
Each output has:
Its own control interface
A unique API token
A specific endpoint URL
All outputs share the same underlying package logic and design but can operate independently through their respective control interfaces.
Changes made to the master graphics package can be applied to all associated outputs with a single action. This simplifies package maintenance and ensures consistency across outputs.
Why It’s Useful? (Use Cases)
1. Simultaneous sports broadcasts
A league with multiple matches running in parallel can use one shared graphics package to generate an individual output per match. Branding remains consistent, while data inputs (e.g., scores, team info) vary per output, either through the control interface or API.
2. Channel branding across local stations
A media group can maintain a single template for all its stations. One output is created per station, each connected to station-specific data sources. For example, a shared ticker or L-Bar layout can display localized content based on the selected output.
How to Create & Manage Outputs
Publish your Graphic package. You can choose either rundown or classic control after that click on publish.
Navigate to the Graphics module within the Project dashboard. There, you will see 2 cards:
Packages: find a list of all your graphics packages.
Outputs: find a list of all outputs. Notice that a default output is created automatically once you published your graphics for the first time.
In the Packages card, next to your graphics package, click on the 3 dots
now click on Create output.
Choose the location for your output by clicking the Change button. This is can be within the same project or it could be in a differente project.
Name your Output.
Click on 'Create'.
This will create a second output, and within the graphics module, you will see the number of outputs associated with that graphics package.
Within the module Outputs you will find the Default Output (The default output is created automatically when you publish your graphics package) and the multiple output that you just created. There you can
Enable you Output. For more information please click here.
Rename your Outputs
Delete your Outputs.
Accessing Outputs API Token
Each output has a unique graphics API token, which is used to integrate the output with external systems or custom control interfaces.
The image below shows the same graphics package with two different outputs. Each output has its own settings, like API token, URL, etc.

Publishing & Propagating Changes
When you make changes to the graphics package, those changes can be applied to the different outputs you have created.
To do this, you must first publish the changes to the main output, and then to the outputs created from it.
To publish updates:
Click Publish changes.
Publish the MAIN OUTPUT.
Publish the ADDITIONAL OUTPUT.
This process updates all linked outputs to reflect the most recent version of the graphics package.
Updating the Remote Control Interface
After publishing changes, each output's control interface will display an 'Update' button.
This feature allows operators to manually refresh the interface, ensuring that updates are applied when needed and giving them control over when changes are implemented during live operations.
Deleting Outputs
To delete the Multiple Outputs created from the original, follow these steps:
Click the three dots on the Miltiple Output you want to delete,
Click 'Delete'.
In the case of the Default Output, it is necessary to delete the graphics package, but be careful, this action will delete all outputs associated with it.
To delete the Default Output, within the Packages module, follow these steps:
Click the three dots on the package you want to delete.
Select the Remove option.
This will display a message showing the outputs that will be permanently deleted. This action cannot be undone.
If there is an active output, a message will appear warning that you are about to delete a package that may currently be live.
Summary
Multiple outputs | Act independently but share core design |
Unique API tokens/endpoints | Each output is accessible and controllable via the Output API |
Centralized updates | Push changes to all outputs and allow operators to refresh individually |
Use-case flexibility | Ideal for multisite branding or simultaneous live feeds (sports, news...) |
