newsroom
When creating a news scenario plan, journalist
has an access to all materials registered in the
NewsHouse system. Graphics, sound and video
files can be stored on the media and video servers,
on tape or optical libraries, external computer
storages or videotapes. That means, that materials
can be stored anywhere, but it does not matter for
a journalist, because they are always at his hand.
With the help of unique tools of describing and
progressive searching technology in the NewsHouse
system, the necessary material can be found in a
second. The work with videos can be carried out
both in high and low resolution. Working with
low resolution videos is very useful for multi-user
configurations, as it significantly reduces the network
and disk load.
Text, video, sound and graphics - everything is
synchronized in news scenario plan. News supply
is based on various forms of materials. NewsHouse
allows to implement them all: synchron, studio, shot,
voice over, graphics insertion, etc.). ** All terms used
in the standard NewsHouse system can be changed
by the user to any convenient.
The news video review with reference to the text
with 8 audio channels and 4 graphics tracks is
available at any time, at any workplace.
NewsHouse offers simultaneous multi-user work
both on one issue, and one piece of news. In
addition, a journalist can work with multiple releases
and news. The editor has the ability of a remote
control over all the ongoing work of journalists in
real time. He can get involved in it, if necessary.
In order to exclude the conflict in simultaneous
operation of several editors and journalists on the
same project, every user is given the rights, under
which he/she can make certain changes to the
project. Thus, any employee has a limited working
area, beyond which he/she has no access to the
process.
Editing
For more efficient and easy news blocks creation,
the NewsHouse system includes an updated
NewsBase module. The module allows editing video
and audio fragments with simple transition effects
overlay, titles and graphics creation. Finished news
stories are then played back from the Azimuth video
servers.
Playout
Prepared, verified and signed news blocks goes on
Air. The core of the process is Azimuth 12 video
server, which allows to implement all the variations
of material supply: clips and blocks playback from
the video server, playback of Adobe Premiere and
Apple Final Cut Pro editing projects, playback from
the controlled VTRs, titles and graphics overlay,
mixers and switchers control.
During playout, the playlist and including events
editing is allowed. Any change of the issue plan
automatically leads to changes in the video’s,
graphics’ and prompter’s playlists. Clips can be
added, and deleted. Moreover, its order and
properties can be changed. Each clip can start after
the end of the previous one manually from external
GPI signal or playout switcher. The issue control is
carried out locally or remotely. Depending on the
requirements, the NewsHouse system allows to
organize as a fully automated news playout, and
operations in standard mode with the anchor man.
