a. News Graphics Automation i. Xmedia Suite: news
Miranda’s Xmedia Suite news graphics automation system is MOS compliant and graphics platform independent. By significantly reducing time wasting and repetitive graphics work, it can deliver a quantum leap in productivity, while also improving graphics consistency, and simplifying last minute changes to the run down. It’s ideal for rich, data-driven graphics, such as business and sporting news, as well as for the rapid creation by journalists of typical newsroom graphics from within the NRCS.
- IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY
- Xmedia Suite uses advanced graphics templates to speed the preparation of automated, data-driven news graphics, as well as simpler news story graphics created by journalists from within their familiar NRCS.
- GREATER CREATIVITY
- By increasing graphics automation and reducing repetitive tasks, Xmedia Suite enables graphics personnel to spend more time on the more rewarding and creative aspects of their work.
- MORE CONSISTENCY
- Automation can reduce the scope for operator errors, and also allows more time for quality checking.
- FULL MOS INTEGRATION
- Xmedia Suite is MOS compliant for full integration with newsrooms systems. It can offer automatic graphics updates to address changes to the rundown, driven by the newsroom system without any operator intervention.
- CENTRALIZED ARCHIVE
- The Xmedia Server allows all branding assets to be ingested once, centrally archived and automatically moved to the right graphics device using rule-based publishing
- SIMPLIFYING DATA-DRIVEN GRAPHICS
- Xmedia Suite offers powerful interfacing tools for data-driven graphics, which simplify even the most intensive business and election graphics.
