theibcdaily Newsroom integration arrives on cue Autocue By David Fox
New newsroom integration tools that enable a prompter to automatically jump to any story selected in a newsroom running order and for script edits on the prompter to be mirrored in the newsroom computer system (NRCS), are two unique features that Autocue is adding to its system.
The first new is via support for
the roElementStat MOS command, which allows a director to skip ahead to another story in the running order and the teleprompter to automatically display the corresponding section of script. This “eliminates the need for the operator to react to the director’s instructions and jump to the correct point, or for a presenter to have to scroll ahead themselves to try and find the right point to pick up the story,” said Rachid Anis, Autocue CTO. Profile 7 support in AP ENPS allows two-way communication between prompter and NRCS. Normally, scripts are prepared in
Engineering Emmy for JPEG 2000 work
Artel Video Systems By Wll Strauss
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has honoured a number of IBC exhibitors with a Technology and Engineering Emmy Award. Video Services Forum, Media Links, Nevion, DVBlink, Inc, Harris Broadcast Corporation (now Imagine Communications), Ericsson, Artel Video Systems, Barco-Silex and IntoPix were all recognised for their work on the standardisation of JPEG 2000 interoperability.
Their contributions aided the development of VSF TR-01, a recommended practice for compressing SDI signals into JPEG 2000 and encapsulating the signals along with audio and ancillary data into an MPEG-2 TS for transport over IP networks. The vendors have helped to develop an industry standard for light compression of HD and 3G- SDI signals for transport applications.
"Recognition by NATAS demonstrates Artel's dedication to the development and adherence to industry transport standards," said Richard Dellacanonica, president, Artel Video Systems. 2.A20

the NRCS and output to the prompter, with any changes having to be made in the NRCS. However, profile 7 allows Autocue to enable changes made by the prompter operator to be reflected in the AP ENPS
system. “It is much easier for the teleprompter operator, who is working on the script, to make changes locally on the prompter machine under the direction of the production team. Until now, this has not been possible,”
explained Anis.
It has also announced support for the latest MOS protocol versions 2.8.3 and 2.8.4, plus support for “Buddy Server failover mode” in AP ENPS. If the primary NRCS system is unavailable, the prompter will respond to backup (buddy) server MOS commands.
“Now that we are no longer in competition [following the sale of its Workflow division to AQ Broadcast], we are building much stronger development relationships with newsroom providers.” It aims “to create the best possible newsroom integration and MOS support.” 11.F45
