VTIPL

vsnairnews is an automated play out terminal that allows several journalists from different PC's to simultaneously work in a synchronised way, on the same rundown that is broadcasted.

Any user with permissions can make changes, remotely from any PC, in the rundown in real time, which will be immediately updated in all the vsnairnews terminal connected.

vsnairnews sends text to the teleprompter and inserts titles. If the sequence of the rundown changes, it automatically changes texts in prompter and CG in a synchronised way without any operator.

Automation: the rundown is not a simple playlist of video files. It allows camera IN's with duration for intros, external feeds and VTRs can be operated manually or automatically. With an external keypad control, audio/video mixers can be controlled remotely through a RS422 connection.

vsnairnews can automatically control the video mixer, apply transitions, and insert video effects for camera-video transitions in a fully unattended way, without any operator. Otherwise it could be controlled even by the anchor.

Duration clocks tell Directors the current program duration, time under runs, and over runs, and allow adjustments and changes in the rundown up to 5 seconds before particular material goes On Air. It can also operate as a slave playout controlled by third parties through MOS protocol.

vsnairnews is the first multi-format playout in the market, completely independent of the video compression of files in the rundown, whether it be DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, M-JPEG, MXF, WM9 and switchable to HD. All files can be placed in the same rundown without rendering or transcoding of any kind. It is also compatible with the most popular NLE's (Vegas Video, Pinnacle, Adobe Premiere, Avid, Canopus, Final CutPro etc.).
