Newsroom Workstation

Thanks to features such as Cue mode, the remaining time announcement, extensive hardware integration so you can start playback from your production switcher, Softron's playout applications are widely used in Newsroom.
At NAB 2022 we are announcing the support of the MOS protocol so journalists can control the order of the subjects from their Newsroom.

What can you see here?

In this workstation, we are showing the ENPS integration with OnTheAir Video, using our MOS Gateway. Create rundowns in ENPS, add media to the stories, and see it update in OnTheAir Video. The MOS integration helps newsroom streamline their workflow.

Highlights:

  • MOS integration
  • Create playlists from ENPS
  • Trigger playback from production switcher (using GPI or Ethernet)
  • Countdown announcement
  • Dynamic graphics overlay
  • HyperDeck emulation
  • MIDI integration (in and out)
  • Cue mode
  • Secondary audio output (send audio to your audio mixer)
