AP debuts New Media Server Interface at Tribune Station in San Diego
Tribune Broadcasting's KSWB-TV, San Diego, tonight became the first U.S. television station to complete integration of its newsroom computer system and on-air video servers using the new Media Object Server ("MOS") protocol. Building on the station's first broadcast using MOS command and control capabilities just two weeks ago, ENPS now links both editorial and media assets. Producers using ENPS can instantly see status, length, and other key details about a video clip from within a program rundown on a single screen, while dynamic, interactive MOS links provide real-time network updates to a Sony NewsBase video server. Last week, MOS 2.0-enabled ENPS systems were introduced in television operations in France and Belgium. |

i-télévision launches This Week with AP's ENPS
i-télévision, the new Canal+ all-news channel in France, launches this week with ENPS and is the world's second broadcaster using the latest MOS protocol for integrated video editing and on-air playout. ENPS is now fully deployed in i-télévision's Paris newsroom and will connect many of its regional sites, which include 29 strategically-based new teams around the country, each with SNG capabilities. MOS capabilities mean ENPS has become a "command and control" centre for both editorial and media assets at i-télévision. A new communications protocol project led by AP, MOS is a modern way of enabling journalists to control a variety of devices including media servers and editors, still stores, character generators, and special effects machines. |
