NewsForce Streamlines Workflows Throughout the Newsroom
Local news is the face of a broadcast station, its signature product. To compete, broadcasters are turning to high definition in ever growing numbers. Incorporating HD technologies, of course, renders old-style edit equipment obsolete, so broadcasters are faced with migrating to this new paradigm in ways that won't affect the productivity of their newsroom — or impact their on-air product during the transition.
Harris tackles this challenge with its end-to-end NewsForce file-based newsroom solution, capable of handling both SD and HD in a wide variety of compression schemes. A complete, format-transparent news platform, NewsForce can be integrated into station operations all at once or gradually, depending on a broadcaster's requirements. It runs on the Harris NEXIO™ storage area network (SAN), which offers the highest levels of speed, power and flexibility, and includes a family of Velocity™ editors optimized for speed to air. Because all NewsForce editing systems can reside on the NEXIO SAN, editors can take advantage of true shared storage and access the same video material simultaneously.
The news technology evolution toward high definition and file-based video demands that stations evolve workflows to accommodate the future. Broadcasters deploying Harris' powerful NewsForce newsroom platform are assured a clear and seamless path to integrating technology as it emerges — and benefit from unrivaled speed, flexibility, quality and efficiency.
