The NRCS tool incorporated in the Avid NewsCutter editing applications allows the editor to view stories and Running Orders located in ENPS.

When planning a news program in ENPS, media ID’s are created for expected video packages. The Avid NewsCutter NRCS Tool opens an ENPS session and displays all of the unfulfilled media ID’s from the MOS-enabled Running Order. By choosing a specific ID, NewsCutter automatically creates a sequence and bin with the corresponding media ID name to minimize any confusion or operator error.

Armed with duration of the story in the timeline, the editor is able to edit the video to match the script in both content and timing, without having to go between the newsroom application and his editing system. Selecting Send To Playback in NewsCutter, the clip is saved to the playout server with that ID, and a “ready” status is sent to ENPS for display in the story slug.
