TelVue is excited to announce the release of HyperCaster 9.0, unveiled at NAB 2026. This latest version takes automated scheduling and playout to a whole new level—empowering broadcasters and FAST channel operators to achieve truly hands-off channel management with greater flexibility, intelligence, and efficiency than ever before.
Smarter, Fully Automated Scheduling
At the heart of HyperCaster 9.0 is a powerful new suite of automation-driven scheduling tools designed to save time while delivering polished, professional results.
Auto Fill Scheduling intelligently fills gaps across your schedule—whether full days or specific dayparts—with programming, promos, or PSAs. Choose from one or more Series, Playlists, or Categories, and HyperCaster will automatically rotate content while seamlessly working around existing scheduled items. You can even create fully automated themed blocks, such as morning children’s programming, with no manual intervention.
Block Copy Scheduling makes it easy to reuse proven programming strategies. Automatically copy dayparts forward—like moving a primetime block into a future morning slot—or replicate last week’s schedule into the current week, with the flexibility to override specific programs as needed.
HyperCaster Fully Automated, Perfectly Aligned Scheduling
More Powerful Series Management
Series scheduling has been completely reimagined for speed and scalability. With no more one-year limitations, you can now create ongoing or never-ending series that automatically schedule indefinitely until stopped. A redesigned interface makes managing series faster and more intuitive, while new conflict, event, and error views provide greater visibility and control.
Enhanced conflict resolution options—including ripple scheduling—ensure smoother adjustments when schedules change.

Precision Timing with Flexible Ad Breaks
HyperCaster 9.0 introduces advanced Ad Break rules with automatic padding to target durations. Easily align programming to clean 30- or 60-minute boundaries using designated filler content, ensuring a consistent and professional viewing experience even with variable-length content.
Ad Break Rules with Bumpers, Ads Breaks, and Padding Filler
Modern Streaming with SRT Output Support
HyperCaster AIO integrated streaming now supports SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) output alongside RTMP and HLS. As a modern protocol increasingly adopted by CDNs and FAST platforms, SRT delivers:
- Reliable streaming over unpredictable networks
- Built-in error correction
- Efficient peer-to-peer delivery
This makes it easier than ever to distribute content to partners, CDNs, and FAST platforms—without additional hardware or software.

True End-to-End Automation
With HyperCaster 9.0, automation extends across your entire workflow. Newly ingested or recorded content is automatically incorporated into scheduling, while existing automation features—such as graphics, streaming, social publishing, captioning, audio description, archiving, and publishing—work together seamlessly.
The result: complete, hands-off, perfectly aligned scheduling and channel management with customizable rules for bumpers, promos, ad breaks, and more.
Additional Enhancements
HyperCaster 9.0 also includes:
- Enhanced login and password security
- NDI Discovery Server support
- Ongoing performance improvements and refinements
HyperCaster 9.0 sets a new standard for automated playout and FAST scheduling and channel management—giving you more control, less manual work, and better results.
