Introducing Xnews
The newsroom workflow with the Vertigo Suite
Integrating the Vertigo Suite into your existing newsroom environment improves the
efficiency of your entire newsroom workflow. Graphic artists use Xstudio to create templates
for news graphics that are then stored on an Xmedia Server archive. These templates are
accessible to all the networked newsroom computer system (NCS) workstations used by
graphics artists and journalists.
Since Xnews is integrated into the NCS workstation interface as a plug-in application,
journalists can use Xnews to open Vertigo Suite templates and media libraries (i.e. images,
clips... etc.) to create the news graphics pages that they need to support a story. Once
completed, the journalist can simply drag-and-drop the graphics page into stories and
rundowns within the same newsroom system interface.
