Using the GV STRATUS application in a Newsroom Computer System

You can launch the GV STRATUS application as an ActiveX panel within supported MOS compliant
Newsroom Computer Systems (NCS) such as ENPS, iNEWS, Octopus, and OpenMedia. This allows
you to use Assignment List, Scheduler, RMI, Inspector, Navigator, Storyboard Editor, Playlist
Editor, and other panels to consolidate your entire operation into one workspace.

The Assignment List in the GV STRATUS application lets you create a placeholder for a clip and
link it into the accompanying story in the NCS rundown. You can create placeholders and insert
them manually into your rundown; or use the auto-create feature, to create and insert placeholders
automatically.
