Transforming Live News Production Speed

In competitive news broadcasting, seconds matter. Our NRCS provides journalists with instant access to media asset archives and live wire feeds inside a zero-latency web interface, allowing breaking news packages to go from wire to air in minutes.

MOS Protocol Interoperability Standard

By adhering strictly to MOS (Media Object Server) Protocol standards, our NRCS communicates directly with Character Generators, Teleprompters, Playout Servers, and MAM proxies. When a producer re-orders stories in the rundown, prompters and graphic CG sequences instantly re-sequence.

Omnichannel Digital Publishing

Stories written in the NRCS are automatically reformatted for digital web publishing and social media alerts, eliminating duplicate data entry across television and online news desks.
