Avid unveils Avid iNEWS Command broadcast playout automation system

May 3, 2006 8:00 AM, News Technology Update e-newsletter

    

Avid Technology has unveiled iNEWS Command, a system that integrates with any newsroom computer system and provides broadcasters with automation control over playout devices, including video servers, still stores and character generators.

Designed for mission-critical operations, the iNEWS Command system can be configured to eliminate single points of failure so a backup system can automatically take over in the event of a failure of any playout component.

The system can be tightly synchronized with iNEWS and other third-party NRCS solutions, so even changes in content or rundown order in the final seconds before broadcast are immediately reflected in the iNEWS Command playlist.
