OpenMedia goes South Africa
German public broadcasting group ARD is supplying a mobile OpenMedia system to its journalists for use during the FIFA soccer worldcup 2010 in South Africa. Led by the public station SWR (Südwestrundfunk) a mobile OpenMedia system exactly matched to the needs and demands of large events was designed.
Planned conntributions include broadcasts from the German national team camp, press conferences, games broadcasts and the supply of background reports for the whole group of broadcasters. The journalists on site receive their own agency information and access to all sports schedules of news agency DPA. Schedules can be directly inported and managed in the OpenMedia „EventCalendar“ through the use of the EventML G2 standard protocol.
OpenMedia 3.7 optimizes story planning and cost tracking
The new release dramatically improves story planning thanks to its unique StoryBin feature which empowers journalists and editors to systematically link together all scripts, assets and resources relative to a specific story. Better, it automatically trails these assets across the workflow so as to ensure consistent tracking of allocated resources and produced outputs.
The introduction of StoryBin in version 3.7 provides a powerful tool to automatically aggregate all assets associated to any specific subject matter.
Collected information can include any relevant information including scripts, CGs, videos, URLs or cost attributes. It can be automatically forwarded to a third-party enterprise resource planning (ERP) or date warehouse system. Real-time reporting of linked costs and budget allocations is facilitated.
