Sienna Automation Production Control Compatible with NewTek IP Series



Sienna Automation Production ControlSienna, makers of broadcast automation for News and Sport announced compatibility between their Sienna MOS driven Automation Production Control system and NewTek’s IP Series vision mixer.

Sienna is used by many globally recognized broadcasters including the BBC, Associated Press, and Televisa. Support for NewTek’s ground breaking IP Series brings Sienna’s world-class capabilities to a new audience, at a dramatically reduced price point. Sienna’s extensive TriCaster integration brings full automatic production control within the reach of any news or sports broadcaster.

“IP Series is a revolutionary IP based vision mixer with great support for legacy SDI workflows”, said Mark Gilbert, CTO Gallery SIENNA. “We are proud to announce support in Sienna Automation for IP Series and we look forward to enabling fully automated IP driven workflows for news and sports stations embracing these important changes in the broadcast landscape.”

Automation Production Control
Sienna forms a sophisticated media asset management, edit integration and automation layer between TriCaster and MOS newsroom systems including ENPS, Inception, iNews, Octopus, and OpenMedia. With the NCS, producers can prepare a very complex news bulletin, including packages, vision mixer operations, virtual set camera moves, audio mixing, and on screen graphics.

This rundown is then driven step by step in the Sienna AutomationX live-asset system controlling TriCaster. Works with: TriCaster Mini, TriCaster 8000, TriCaster 860, TriCaster 460, and TriCaster 410.


NewTek Introduces the NewTek IP Series



NewTek IP SeriesNewTek has introduced the NewTek IP Series. It is a facility-grade, software-driven scalable system that combines IP flexibility with SDI compatibility. It asks the question: What if the boundaries about how to produce video did not exist?

Imagine the possibilities if your production wasn’t limited by hardware, and all of your sources and destinations could communicate. The NewTek IP Series merges the power, efficiency, and flexibility of IP with NewTek’s proven software-driven live production approach to define a new workflow paradigm: Interconnected Production.

Connecting, communicating, and sharing video and audio across the network using Innovative NDI technology, the NewTek IP Series acts as a single, interconnected production environment. Inputs, outputs, and media assets are readily available and accessible by any user in the location on the network, freeing your storytelling from the limits imposed by conventional production technology and enabling workflows of unprecedented scale and scope.

No Boundaries
* Transition gradually or migrate immediately to IP-based production workflows with incredibly practical infrastructure and bandwidth requirements.

* Remove the physical and logistical barriers limiting your potential to expand, grow, and evolve.

* Future-proof your video operations with progressive technology independent of formats and resolutions.

* Redefine your productions, workflows, and business now and for years to come.

Limitless Possibilities
* Align legacy and contemporary technologies across a simplified infrastructure to maximize resources and investments.

* Establish a production network in your control room or across your facility, connecting systems, users, and departments.

* Link multiple locations over IP to create sophisticated multi-system, multi-site workflows.

* Pool production inputs, outputs, and media assets for universal access and interchange.
