Introduction

A broadcast newsroom system is used to create, edit and manage news rundowns and control playout. Newsroom is a plug-in for Escenic Content Engine that provides an interface to the Avid iNEWS and Enps newsroom system. The Content Engine's Newsroom plug-in allows news items created in a newsroom system to be automatically imported into the Content Engine. As stories are saved in a newsroom, they automatically appear as content items in associated Escenic publications.

Assuming that the newsroom system is fully integrated with a Escenic Viz Content Pilot system then text, video and graphics components of a newsroom story will be transferred to the Content Engine and appear in the related publications.

The Newsroom plug-in is highly configurable. You can predefine:

• Which stories are to be transferred to the Content Engine.

• Which Escenic content types are to be used for newsroom stories.

• Which publication(s) newsroom stories are to appear in.

• Which section of a publication newsroom stories are to be added to.

• Which status (draft, published, etc.) newsroom stories are to be assigned when they are transferred to the Content Engine.

• Which inbox and which lists newsroom stories are to be added to.
