Newsroom Computer
Systems at NAB 2016
Newsroom systems are continuing to
develop. Contributing Editor Andy Stout
examines the latest in systems to keep the
broadcast newsroom up to speed...

M

ost of the headlines from this
year's event in Vegas were
about two things: HDR video and Virtual
Reality: one a technology that is rolling
out this year, the other a technology
that probably still has a way to go no
matter what the hype says.
If the dissemination of HD through
the broadcast ecosystem is anything
to go by too, one of the last parts of
the industry these will impact on is
the newsroom. Yes, there have been
experiments with VR in particular, Sky
News breaking global ground with its
360-degree produced 'Migrants Crisis
- The Whole Picture' back in November
last year, but this is marquee stuff, not
the bread and butter of the newsroom
computer system (NRCS).
For them, in the same way that the
camera headlines from NAB have
calmed down in recent years, the
watchword is more a case of evolution
rather than revolution and a slow and
steady accretion of features.
Germany's Annova, of course,
famously won the contract from the
BBC to replace its AP ENPS Newsroom
systems used by something in the
region of 10,000 journalists worldwide
last year. As such, new products and
plugins for its OpenMedia solution
at NAB also touched on some of the
major industry concerns sweeping the
tradeshows, namely how data analysis
can help improve decision making and
how the flow of qualified social sources
can be managed.
Annova
partner
plantri
has
developed two programs that launched
at NAB. Newsboard allows journalists
to create their own newsroom

dashboards, using a browser-based
HTML5 environment to present
the myriad of data, content and
information that OpenMedia connects
to in a manner that makes sense to the
individual.
Social Media Gateway, meanwhile,
connects
OpenMedia
to
social
networks, meaning that the social
teams mining Twitter, Facebook,
Instagram and YouTube can now work
inside OpenMedia to manage trusted
sources (and crucially only trusted
sources) from a single place. It creates
a private Newsroom list of all trusted
social sources available to everyone
in the business, while also masking
that fact to the wider networks,
ensuring that none of the contacts
can be manipulated to affect the news
agenda.
Also coming into the show on the
back of a major contract win last
year, this one a 10-year deal with
Sinclair Broadcast for all 64 of its
news production stations in the
US, was Avid. And what is perhaps
most illuminating about the deal is
that nowhere in the press release
announcing it was Avid's iNews
mentioned.
"Powered by the MediaCentral
Platform, the next-generation IPbased workflow for Sinclair's news
producing stations will feature Avid's
Artist Suite, Storage Suite and Media
Suite solutions with third-party and
custom workflow integrations," ran a
statement. Though that said, Avid did
unveil a rather interesting capability
to support real-time IP signals in the
MediaCentral Platform at NAB and

Ross Video's Inception features multiple social networking features

A shot from Sky's ground-breaking VR first Migrants Crisis - The Whole Picture'

thus signal a major move over to trying
to implement a genuinely formatagnostic infrastructure.
Ross Video's Inception didn't have
a NAB point release, but is already
majoring on the social side of things,
proudly boasting that last year's
Version 9 adds powerful messaging
and customisation features to what
it calls "the most social newsroom
computer system on the planet."
As well as being able to create and
customise any number of columns in
the rundown, including numerical,
string and multi-line text fields,
dropdown selectors, checkboxes, and
others, users can also take advantage
of an integrated instant messaging
system, allowing for one-on-one and
group conversations.
This sort of third party workflow tool
has been taking many organisations
by storm of late, but rather than
having to switch to the likes of Slack,
Inception helps you stay inside the
program and attach and share files,
link conversations and more. High
priority wire alerts appear in the new
messaging toolbar in the footer of
the user interface, letting users know
when stories break.
Dalet didn't have any updates to its
News Wire NCRS at the show, but did
unveil its new Dalet Galaxy MAM which
provides a whole host of functionality
across different parts of its existing
broadcast ecosystem, including news.
Here, embedded tools let personnel
plan, collect, research, write, edit,
and distribute media instantly to
television, radio, web and social
media. As a result, says the company,
news organisations have additional
resources to cover and produce more
stories.
Producing more from the same
or shrinking resource is, of course,
endemic in all aspects of the industry.

One of the solutions enabling that
to happen has been the launch of
AP ENPS' Open API, which extends
the traditional NRCS to support
applications where traditional MOSbased integration may be considered
using a hammer to crack a walnut.
It means other programs can dive in
and use the data stored in AP ENPS,
everything from a traffic system to
a CNS-driven website to, and this is
an example from the company that
you feel may hit home, an external
database that gives a graphic look at
all of the elements and costs that went
into producing a newscast.

AP ENPS Mobile's Tablet Story
Viewer now gives users the ability
to edit stories in the field

And in the same spirit of
extensibility, AP ENPS Mobile ports
the company's system into the mobile
environment for access in the field. Of
course, it is a slimmed down version,
but with the crucial ability to write
stories and send video and photos via
ENPS Mobile to production systems, as
well as being able to view assignments,
rundowns and even edit, it is part of
the move to ensure that more can be
done in the field than ever.

Dalet News Wheel's automation can now
be used as part of the new Dalet Galaxy
