Jutel RadioMan

www.jutel.fi

RadioMan integration with ENPS is specifically designed for the modern radio newsroom. The integration allows journalists working with any news terminal to easily produce scripts, audio clips and rundowns for the shows played out in RadioMan. And, production is flexible - the whole program can be either prepared in the newsroom system or the RadioMan desktop.

The basic workflow of processing incoming wires, production of scripts, messaging and directory management is similar to a standard news system installation. The ENPS desktop is enhanced with audio editing and search functionality, so that multimedia-type scripts containing both text and audio material can be produced.

Audio recording and editing can be done with Jutel Quick Edit Pro, embedded as an ActiveX component into ENPS. For those who prefer separate audio editing QEP window RadioMan offers a sophisticated prelistening and launching ActiveX-application.

Playout control in the On-Air studio is easy. Scripts in the running order can be read directly from the RadioMan monitor while on air. RadioMan automatically updates story slugs and the links to audios contained in the story when they are received from ENPS to RadioMan. RadioMan supports ENPS buddy arrangements.

Supported ENPS Workflow

Running Order Control

This device allows ENPS to dynamically build and control a playlist within the media server. Changes to the Running Order in ENPS result in immediate changes to the sequence of media objects queued for playout by the media server.

Item Status

This vendor sends real-time status information during playback and other functions which is displayed through ENPS writers and producers in real-time. This includes the use of a minimum set of standard status messages which enable color coding and the automated movement of the ENPS timing bar.

Automatic Placeholder Creation

ENPS can automatically create and name placeholders within this vendor's server into which finished clips ready for play out can later be edited, saved, or recorded. The name and other metadata used to automatically create this placeholder is drawn from the related ENPS Story and Running Order. The vendor then updates ENPS with duration and other information as the placeholder is replaced with the actual media.

Story Send

This product uses the full body of text within ENPS documents, including all media pointers and custom metadata. This product also dynamically tracks the sequence of Stories and Assignments within active ENPS Running Orders and Assignment grids.

Media Awareness

This device sends ENPS a description of the media it stores. The description contains structured metadata and a pointer to the media object. This information is used by ENPS to return media in search results. Pointers are used to link media to ENPS documents, including Stories, Running Orders and Assignments using simple drag and drop workflow.

MOS Redirection

This product works with ENPS to transfer media between machines and locations using instruction and metadata from ENPS. When stories containing media are moved from one ENPS location in ENPS to another this vendor offers the option to automatically transfer the media contained in the stories without further user interaction. This can be used to automatically transfer media between servers and NLE's within a single newsroom, or between multiple newsrooms and production servers in different cities.

Jutel RadioMan ActiveX Plug-in

RadioMan supports QEP Audio Editor toolset as a ActiceX plugin for newsroom integration. One can perform multi-track audio editing, search and open audio from media management and receive audio from other systems like TV. RadioMan offers also a PreListen-type ActiveX component for those customers that want to run the Audio editor as a separate application window.
