New Mosart Newscast Automation 3.6

Mosart Newscast Automation is a powerful tool that makes it easier for control room crews to focus on creating greater amounts of content at a higher quality. Mosart can control more than 55 different peripheral broadcast devices: vision and audio mixers, video servers, graphics systems, camera robots, routers, light desks, and other systems, very often through native API.

Mosarts technology is flexible and adaptable, and its template-based approach facilitates adjustments to workflow or equipment in the least disruptive way possible. Because the system is intimately integrated with all major newsroom computer systems (NRCS), the user can plan the full studio production in the NRCS, and the Mosart automation system will continuously synchronize its rundown. Through a unique context-sensitive template system for headline sequences, producers and directors can change the order of headlines at the last moment without worrying about the technical details of transitions and graphics. The Mosart automation system makes sure the headline sequence looks right, regardless of order.

With the release of Mosart Newscast Automation version 3.6, new at the 2014 NAB Show, Mosart has enhanced the industrys most powerful newscast automation GUI to put even more flexibility at the directors fingertips. The new boxed stories functionality, designed for an intuitive touchscreen interface, puts the focus back on the news story rather than on individual technical events. By making all stories and their elements in the rundown executable at the push of a button, this feature allows journalists to concentrate on telling those stories and lets directors focus on the flow of the news show as a whole.

In another updated feature, content and sources from any point of the rundown can be sent to studio walls, both directly and through preprogrammed salvos taken to air at a single click. These innovations in the Mosart product improve nonlinear news production by giving directors instant content access and further enhancing the Mosart automation systems ability to perform in breaking news situations, during deviations from the NRCS rundown, and when directors are making on-the-fly decisions about which content and assets to use.

Mosart is also pleased to announce that it will premiere support for video playout from Viz Engines at the 2014 NAB Show. By playing video content straight from the Viz Engine, Mosart opens the door to a cost-effective setup that achieves more functionality with less hardware.

Mosart Cue Cards

Mosart Cue Cards is a stand-alone tablet-based application that gives presenters live and direct access to vital information in the newsroom computer system (NRCS) rundown, allowing them to be updated on and make personal script notes for both the current and any future story. Requiring only a tablet device and an Internet connection, Cue Cards helps presenters in the studio and journalists working live on location to stay up to date on selected stories, thus eliminating the need to maintain direct access to the NRCS or to ask the producer for updates.

Mosart Multi-Studio Solution

Mosart Multi-Studio Solution is a software package for larger broadcasters with multiple studios. Combining Mosart Media Router and Mosart Template Sharing, the package enables sharing of resources and coordination across several control rooms. New functionality added to the Mosart Media Router enables the sharing of video wall, lighting, and camera resources.
