TV4 doesn’t own any television technology — that’s handled by Ericsson Broadcast Services
timings on a programme, the Mosart displays and the user interfaces constantly provide both visual and audio countdowns for next break, current story element, total rundown over or under and next story details.” He goes on, “A Mosart
installation in one gallery can produce, if required, multi channel outputs with different branding on the two outlets.” The automation also controls the Omneon servers that are in place at Nyhetsbolaget Sverige. Server channels are automatically allocated for the main programme output, plus any secondary uses such as a video wall display.
Pool running order Kurvinen admits there have been many lessons to learn over the last few months. “In time for the launch we did make significant changes to the workflow in ENPS. Bear in mind, we are also producing news programmes for other TV4 stations. We wanted to have the same production workflow — no matter if producers are editing a story for the morning news, for the 7 o’clock evening show, the late night news or the 24-hour news channel. It is vital that everybody follows the same rules and procedures.” To accomplish this goal, the team started to work with a daily pool running order – or content collection – in ENPS. All stories are created in this rundown (including generated MOS placeholders). They are prepared by the journalist/ reporter, including lead-ins, character generation and so on. Stories are then dragged from this pool to the TX-rundowns where they are published. They can also be dragged to web-publishing rundowns for automated export to websites and also to a third-party company that is distributing stories for sale. This last activity is a new - and vital — revenue stream for Nyhetsbolaget Sverige. “Significantly, on the lead up to the launch, we had no familiarity with running a 24-hour news channel. But it has been a challenging experience and we are always looking for ways to tweak the production workflow to make things better for our viewers.” www.tv4.sewww.nyhetsbolaget.sewww.mosart.nowww.enps.comwww.vizrt.comwww.hegogroup.com
