More news. Less operational expense.

Our shared media network and asset management tools make your journalists and producers more prolific, and your media assets more readily available.

• Instant access to media:
  Put all your media assets at the fingertips of every desktop and workstation user in–or connected to–your operation. Integrated media network and asset management gives you instant access to clips, graphics, scripts, archived files and other media. Automated tracking keeps all production elements current and synchronized, eliminating time lost sifting through irrelevant files or outdated versions. Without this capability, editors can spend up to 40% of their time searching for media.
• Accelerated newscast production from the desktop:
  Journalists can quickly and accurately browse and edit footage to scripts, then send to editors – or direct to air. Producers can coordinate – or automate – scripts, graphics, rundowns and archive. Build sequences intuitively, using text in a vertical timeline. Increase speed, control, and creativity of VOs and VOSOTs 
• Remote submission:
  Expand your newsgathering reach to wherever your journalists are. Submit stories via smart phone, e-mail, FTP, and IP. Deliver the newsroom desktop to reporters in the field or across the globe.
• Built-in asset management:
  Staff don't have to leave their working environment to find and manage media. Producers can select graphics, lower-thirds, and full-screen billboards without leaving the familiar iNEWS environment. Journalists can select and populate a graphic template, preview the finished graphic, and drag a reference into the news story so the final graphics are automatically triggered on playout.
