Octopus Newsroom announced a technology partnership with EVS broadcast equipment. The new alliance was based on intensive testing of smooth cooperation between Octopus6 newsroom computer system and EVS Xedio modular application suite, integrated through the MOS protocol.

“We are very happy to announce our latest partnership extension with EVS. Xedio is a top quality news production system that brings the convenience of direct editing and rough cut to Octopus6 user's desktop. We believe that together we can offer highly competitive and sophisticated solution for tapeless newsroom, “commented Jan Pulpan, CTO of Octopus Newsroom.

Xedio focuses on fast news workflows and is articulated around three main groups of tools: I/O (ingest and playout), production (editing and rough cut) and media management. Adding to these capabilities, the product integration between Xedio and Octopus6, fully featured, platform independent, flexible and affordable newsroom computer system, fundamentally expands broadcasters news production options.

As a result of this new integration, running orders managed from Octopus6 are automatically updated in the Xedio Playout Manager. Octopus operator can access EVS Xedio clip and media referenced in the database, and start editing them right away, thanks to the new Xedio ActiveX plugged-in the Octopus6 user-friendly interface.

“We continuously work to enhance the capabilities of newscasters, while guarantying the highest level of speed and reliability. With its new integration with the advanced newsroom system from Octopus, Xedio offers advanced flexibilities and transparent media control, required in modern tapeless newsrooms,” said Robert Bury, General Manager Business Unit Xedio at EVS.

EVS will be presenting the Xedio | Octopus6 integration at the upcoming IBC2010 in Hall8, stand B90. The demonstration will be will be available on request for private meetings.
