Early access · 1.0.0-alpha.1

One operator. The whole control room.

Genba Studio turns OBS Studio into a rundown-driven control room. Build your show as beats — graphic, layout, clip, mic, strap — then press Advance and watch them fire in order. One person, one machine, a show that looks rehearsed because it is.

Accounts are open. Downloads are granted by request while we're in alpha. Windows today, Rocky Linux 9 on request.

Early access

Genba Studio is in alpha, and we would rather say so.

Version 1.0.0-alpha.1 runs real shows today — it is what the studio it was built for goes to air with every week. It is also unfinished. Builds move fast, some corners are rough, and the manual tells you which ones. If you want a tool that is finished, wait for 1.0. If you want to shape one, this is the good part.

Run the show

Your show is a document that executes.

A beat is one moment of the show — show the quote, in the two-box layout, with the guest's mic open. You write beats, group them into segments, and the app fires them in order when you press Advance. Ninety-eight action types cover graphics, clips, scenes, camera layouts, audio, guests and timing, so the thing you scripted at 3pm is the thing that happens at 7. Change a beat while it is on air and the change takes effect the next time it fires.

Breaking, fired from a beat: the strap flips to alert, the kicker reads DEVELOPING — and nobody touched OBS.

Put it on screen

A graphics package in your brand, not someone else's template.

Headline strap, lower thirds, ticker, clock, bug, breaking banner — plus seven full-screen families: quotes, tweets, images, infographics, slideshows, drill-down maps and full article displays. Every one of them is themed: your logo, your colours, your typefaces, applied across the whole package at once and switchable between shows. Charts reflow when the strap comes up. Nothing is baked to one machine.

On air

Cuts that land like a switcher.

The difference between a show and a stream is the frame you never see. Genba Studio commits a graphic, its layout and its clip together, so a cut is one clean frame — no flash, no half-painted card, no wrong picture for a beat and a half. The next beat is already prepared offstage before you call it. Backgrounds snap, foregrounds animate, and articles land whole. Your audience will not know why it looks expensive.

The card lands as one clean frame: the background is in place at the cut, the reveal animates after. That order is the whole trick.

Go live

One encode. Every destination. Your keys never leave the box.

Add destinations per episode — one row per platform, each with its own start, stop and test — and go live to all of them at once. The machine encodes once and fans it out, so a second platform costs you nothing in picture quality, and you can add and start a destination in the middle of a show. Stream keys are stored on that machine and nowhere else: not in an export, not in a sync, not inside OBS. A pre-flight checklist tells you what is not ready before you find out on air.

Fleet
A laptop can build shows and pilot the studio rig from the next room or another city.

Three things happen. That's the whole loop.

01

Write it as beats.

A beat is one moment: the graphic, the layout it sits in, the clip under it, whose mic is open. Beats live in segments, segments in an episode, and the whole thing reads top to bottom like a rundown always has.

02

Press Advance.

Every action in the beat fires in order — strap, graphic, layout, clip, audio — and the next beat is prepared before you get to it. One button, or one key on a deck, or the space bar.

03

Change it while it's running.

Jump out of order, take manual control of any graphic, retype a headline in the middle of a segment. The rundown is a plan, not a rail — and everything you fire by hand goes through the same clean cut.

There is a demo episode in the box. It explains itself as it runs, and a fresh install is on air with it in about fifteen minutes.
