HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
1.) CONTROL the Newsroom
CONTROL™ operates within a standard newsroom infrastructure, but does so much more. Integrate it with AP ENPS, Octopus 8, Ross Inception, AVID iNEWS, and Annova OpenMedia.
2.) Customized for YOUR NEEDS
Use a custom-developed site specific macro system to drive your broadcast. Anything that the TriCaster or IP Series can do can be automated with CONTROL™.
3.) PLAN AHEAD & Save Time
Design your broadcast hours – or even days – ahead of time. CONTROL™ is ready to go live whenever you are, and running the broadcast is now a one-person job.
4.) CONTROL™ Your Broadcast
Customize a control panel that fits the needs of your show. Broadcast it with a few simple clicks, or program it to run by itself. It’s really that easy.
5.) CUSTOMIZE Your Workstation
CONTROL™ comes packaged with a custom-programmed Xkeys control surface and supports external audio control with the AVID Artist Mix.
WHY CONTROL?
NewsCaster CONTROL™ gives broadcasters the ability to create pre-defined visual sequences that can be added to a rundown using NewsMaker’s custom developed system of NewsStyles. Using NewsStyles, anything from a simple On Camera or SOT to a more complex sequence such as a dual box remote intro can be added to a broadcast with a simple drag-and-drop. During a broadcast, CONTROL™ cycles through these pre-defined sequences and uses any media assets associated with them to create a professional-quality broadcast. Best of all, CONTROL™ works automatically: all you have to do is click ‘next’ and enjoy the show.
CONTROL™ allows you to:
NewsCaster CONTROL™ is fully compatible with every major MOS-enabled newsroom computer system on the market today. After installation, NewsStyle-based rundowns can be created with your normal workflow, and CONTROL™ will automatically load the TriCaster or IP Series with any assets that are needed for a broadcast. As with CONNECT™, NewsCaster CONTROL™ is fully dynamic and will update the TriCaster/IP automatically to reflect adds, drops, floats, and holds within your rundown.
NewsCaster CONTROL™’s NewsStyle system, as well as all of your shows media assets, will be stored on the NewsCaster Server. Our server can draw from any computer in your network through custom drive-mapping, making the transition to a NewsCaster system minimally invasive. All NewsCaster purchases include the NewsCaster Server, a 1RU SuperMicro Industrial Server Class Computer featuring:
