NETIA Unveil Radio-Assist
Version 8.2 At IBC Show
T

he latest release of NETIA’s
flagship
Radio-Assist
software boasts three powerful
enhancements, all of which will be
showcased throughout this years’
IBC show.

Cloud Management
The introduction of cloud-based
management for Radio-Assist™
gives users the ability to access
the system database from any
network-connected workstation.
Particularly valuable for multisite
radio broadcasters, this capability
enables authorised users anywhere
to access, retrieve, and work on
the same content, without the
need for time-consuming media
transfers. In addition to enabling
faster, more productive operations
through shared media access,
cloud-based management enables
broadcasters to reduce reliance on
server infrastructures and, in turn,
lower the total cost of ownership.
By storing content in the cloud,
Radio-Assist can serve as an
online production database or as
an online content archive. RadioAssist archiving tools enable
seamless management of the
archive/restoration process in the
cloud. Users can simply trigger the
archiving process as a background
task and subsequently use simple
search requests to retrieve content.
In disaster recovery situations, the
content stored in the cloud by RadioAssist can help to ensure continuity
of service even when ground-based
facilities are compromised.

familiar from the desktop, on their
portable devices.

Teleprompter
The new teleprompter module
for the Radio-Assist™ suite
gives presenters and journalists
convenient visual access to news
scripts, which scroll continuously
down the presenter’s screen and
is linked to the playout system in
the studio. Customisable features
such as text size, colour selection,
automatic speed control that
adapts to reading speed, and
read length may be conﬁgured in
user proﬁles that are tailored to
presenter preferences.
Also at IBC2013, NETIA will
showcase the latest version of its
media asset management (MAM)
platform, which allows users to
manage all processes within the
global production environment, from
editing through post and distribution,
through simple, easy-to-manage
workflows and task automation,
and accessed through one unique
and straightforward interface. This
solution gives operators the ability
to connect all of their partners and
vendors within a single production
ecosystem, simplifying the sharing
and managing of media assets.

Metamodel Editor

Made to Measure

The latest version includes new
features within its metadata
management module. Enriched
with a new metamodel editor,
this graphical tool enables the
user to manage and customise
the metadata
model structure.

Isnippet Audio Editing
The Snippet range of editing tools
available within the Radio-Assist™
automation products is now
available for iOS devices. Sharing
the same look and ergonomic
principles as the Snippet desktop
interface, the new iPhone®- and
iPad®-compatible iSnippet tool
allows field reporters and other
remote users to enjoy the RadioAssist audio editing capabilities,

The new release
of
N E T I A’s
media asset
and workflow
solution includes
a recording
f e a t u re w i t h
which users
can schedule
s p e c i f i c
recordings or
continuous
channel ingest.
Video is stored in the MAM database
along with corresponding transcript
text ﬁles that are generated by a
speech-to-text engine. A new
monitoring feature facilitates the
searching and browsing of these
recorded channel feeds, either
according to a timeline or through
a full-text search. Upon locating the
appropriate content, the user can
extract, repurpose, and export the
relevant video segment.

TouchMonitor TMR7.
The TMR7 4-channel solution
featuring 7“ touch screen and
the unique TouchMonitor operating concept integrates all metering options required in radio
broadcasting to a solution made
to measure.
