MXMZ Graphics is a web-based graphics solution for creating and controlling customizable overlays from anywhere. Once the integration is configured, MXMZ connects to your playout service so you can trigger, clear, and monitor graphics on a chosen output without leaving Cuez.

More information about MXMZ Graphics on their website.

The MXMZ Graphics integration supports two workflows:

Both workflows talk to the same MXMZ playout service. Whichever you choose, start by confirming your region endpoints and setting up an output first.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following in place:

Before configuring Cuez, set up an output to play out on in the MXMZ web interface at graphics.mxmz.io. Go to the Operator tab, click your initials at the bottom left, and select 'Admin Dashboard'. Then open 'Outputs' (Manage outputs).

Click 'Create output' to add a new output, or open an existing one. Each output exposes PGM, Preview, and Sandbox URLs. You do not need to copy any IDs — you simply select the output by name when configuring playout in Cuez, and the rest is managed automatically.

In the top right corner of the Automator, we see 'Devices' - this can be either in red or green depending on the status of the configured devices. Click it and select 'Add device'.

Next, select 'MXMZ Graphics' from the 'Device type' dropdown list, then give it a name.

Once the device is selected and given a name, we will see all fields needed to configure it so it can be used with the Automator.

On the 'Config' tab, you can enable or disable the device and enter the following settings:

Once all fields have been filled in, click outside of the field. The MXMZ Graphics 'device' will now show as 'Online' in green, meaning it is ready to be used with the Cuez Automator.

Your MXMZ service is hosted in the region it was provisioned in. Use the Playout Service URL and Package Manager URL for your region:

EU Production

US Production

EU Pre-Production (Development Partners only)

Log in to your MXMZ account and go to your settings. In there you should be able to find your Client ID (36 characters) and the API Key (around 344 characters).

If you are using the MOS workflow, the device also needs to know which rundown media to handle and where to download it. Open the device 'Downloader' tab and configure it as follows:

In the Automator, configure each block in its 'Triggers Configuration' on the 'On Cue' tab - more general information on that in this article. There are two ways to drive MXMZ graphics from a block:

Add individual MXMZ functions to the On Cue trigger. Select the desired output, then the graphics package and the graphic required, and map your Cuez fields to the graphic data fields.

The 'Graphic In' function brings the graphic on air on the selected output.

The 'Graphic Out' function takes the graphic off air.

The 'Preview In' function brings the graphic up on the preview output.

The 'Preview Out' function takes the graphic off the preview output.

The 'Clear' function clears the graphic on the current block.

The 'All Graphics Out' function takes all graphics off the output at once.

The 'Update' function sends updated field values to the graphic without taking it off air.

The MOS plugin adds MXMZ Graphics to Cuez as a media library, so operators can select and configure MXMZ graphics on any graphics block in the rundown. You add it once at the organisation level - it is then available across your projects.

In a browser, open http://renderer.mxmz.io/mosplugin/config. Set the Graphics package, choosing the graphics package you want the plugin to use. The MOS ID and NCS ID fields are pre-filled.

Copy the generated URL shown at the top of the page and append &origin=https://us.browz.tv to it. The final URL should look like:

https://renderer.mxmz.io/mosplugin?mosID=mxmz.mos&ncsID=nrcs_id&tb=50&origin=https://us.browz.tv

In the Cuez App Dashboard, open the projects/organization dropdown (top left) and choose 'Organization settings' (owners only). Go to 'Media library' and click 'Add media library'.

Complete the following fields and click 'Save changes':

The MXMZ MOS library will now appear in your Media library list and is available to your projects.

With the media library in place, operators can add MXMZ graphics directly to graphics blocks. On a graphics block, add a media field (for example 'Add image'). Open the media field and at the top left, set 'Current library' to MXMZ MOS.

Choose the Graphics Package, select the graphic you want (for example a lower third or full-screen image), and configure its fields in the panel. Confirm to add the configured graphic to the block.

Re-check the Client ID and API Key, and confirm the Playout Service and Package Manager URLs match your region.

In the MOS plugin config (renderer.mxmz.io/mosplugin/config) or the block panel, make sure a graphics package is selected.

Create or activate an output in the Outputs panel and make sure the correct output is selected in the trigger or panel.

On the device Downloader tab, tick 'Handle Media' and confirm the correct Block and Field mapping is set.

The integration may not be enabled for your Cuez workspace. Contact your Cuez administrator or get in touch with us at support@cuez.app.

Organization settings are owner-only. Ask an owner to add the MXMZ MOS media library, or ask them to grant you owner rights.
