74 Etere MOS Gateway

Etere offers an integrated solution for complete news management. Etere enables Newsroom systems to be integrated with the existing functions of Etere (i.e., ingest, media asset management, browsing, automation, as run log, etc.), allowing contents to be managed efficiently. 

Features in this module include:

•MOS protocol communications between the newsroom system and the other systems,

•Provides integration for MOS-Compliant newsroom systems such as ENPS, Annova OpenMedia, and Transtel RunDesk,

•Passes lists of rundowns and script text in rundowns between the newsroom computer system and Etere,

•Allows searching for media stored on the media servers from the newsroom computer system,

•Restore required media automatically using user-defined T-workflows,

•Enables clip preview and editing via a user-friendly ActiveX browser,

•Communicates with the newsroom computer system via heartbeat commands.

The diagram above illustrates how Etere provides an integrated two-way interface to newsroom systems using the following modules:

•Etere MOS Gateway, based on MOS protocol, receives running order assets media and automatically stores objects of newsroom information from Newsroom and requests the playback of linked media objects (through main and clone automation), also allowing Newsroom systems to create placeholders for content at a later stage.

•Etere NCRS OCX, based on ActiveX controls, allows searching, browsing, and editing of Etere asset's media and automatically storing objects of Newsroom systems into the Etere SQL database.
