News & Live production

VSN´s solutions allow a complete deployment of a news and live shows production facility. Optimum workflow is guaranteed from the drawing board until the news goes on air. It covers all issues in a uniform environment, including rundown planning and creating, resource management, word processing, video feed recordings, and archive storage, organization, and cataloguing.

Integrated with the full workflow

Journalists start capturing news images from their PC's using VSNAUTOREC. During the ingest process, the journalist can already start the editing process, not only editing video but also introducing text and titles through templates. Once validated they are automatically sent to the prompter, and added in the voice over with predefined duration calculated by the software. Approved titling con be sent to the CG and any changes are synchronized and updated in all workstations featuring the studio producer, that can preview the video clips and re-edit them from any PC.

Archive and Publish news to a website

While the playout is on air, any part of the rundown sequence can be changed, added or deleted up to the very moment that it is aired. Our news production systems publish news automatically to a website, sending streaming video in WM9, text and pictures to the different website categories.

VSNARCHIVE is fully integrated into our NRCS. The journalist can start pre-cataloguing raw material and the cataloguer can finish the procedure and empty the daily servers by sending material to tape or robots, and leaving a low resolution copy that is always On Line.

Accept most popular video editing systems

The most popular editing systems can be integrated into our Newsroom Computer System: Vegas Video, Pinnacle, Premiere, Avid and Canopus among others.

Support includes high resolution editing in real time and low resolution editing which can be later reconstructed into high resolution for on air.

Allow low resolution editing with effects

Our News Production Systems allow up to hundreds of journalists to edit low resolution Windows Media 9 videos simultaneously over the network. Even more, many video effects can be edited in the low resolution version such as transitions, filters, etc., to be later consolidated into a high resolution version, contrary to other systems that only allow "clean-cut" EDL editing and voice over.

Remote work environments

News and content editing is not limited to local area networks any more. vsnnews’ web client, VSNWEBNEWS,  allows users to work in a remote way having virtually the same functionality as local users. Remote reporters can look for patterns in their shows, spot the stories assigned to her and display all resources on a web browser in order to enter all texts, comments and graphics into the system. News immediacy is absolute. Also, if the reporter has a VSNIPTRANSFER node available he/she could also associate the freshly recorded content with the specific rundown line he/she’s working on.

In additon to this, VSN now offers its clients the choice to edit contents in the central server remotely with the new Web pre-editing solution VSNWECUTTER. An easy-to-use GUI allows for shot selection, in/out point modification and content blending from any web browser. This tool is also useful for archive retrieval, material clean-up prior to post-production, quality control environments, etc.
