If you are a broadcaster and you produce news – then this should be of great interest to you. If you are journalist, news producer or newscaster – please get your demo slot confirmed. OCTOPUS 11 is now the leading AI based newsroom system. With over 350 installations and leading 24/7 news organizations using Octopus every day – it has become the world leader as far as newsrooms are concerned. Octopus has been installed in large facilities like Al Jazeera, Euro News, Zee TV etc. VECTOR 3 is a video server with a built in automation system. Vector 3 was one of the first systems which offered a video server with a built in automation system. Another unique thing about Vector3 is their longevity. Customers who bought a server more than a decade ago are still using it. Vector 3 has more than 300 installations all over the world. DISKARCHIVE is the answer to many prayers. Customers who has archived on LTO tapes find that after every 2-3 years they need to convert from the current generation to a new generation. This unending cycle means that they need to buy new gear and engage lots of manpower to keep converting the data. Diskarchive has solved this problem by coming up with a disk based archival. The video clips sit in a disk for years. Whiteways has been in the system integration business for more than a decade. Recently – whiteways installed a similar installation for a national – state owned broadcaster in South Asia. What you can see : We will show ingest of a video clip via the Vector box video server. We will show the clip being attached to a news story in Octopus. The story will be written by the journalist. The journalist can view the video clip and write the story.
