Installing and integrating Xnews into your NCS System
Integrating Xnews into your newsroom computer
system (iNEWS or ENPS)
Xnews integrates into your newsroom computer system (NCS) client workstation as an
ActiveX plug-in. This allows journalists to easily create graphics pages from templates and
quickly add them to the stories and rundowns without having to switch between two
applications.
Proper installation and configuration is essential to ensure proper functionality. Therefore,
we strongly recommend that the integration of Xnews into your newsroom computer system
be performed by a qualified network or newsroom system administrator.
Installation and configuration instructions for integrating Xnews into the Associated Press’
ENPS and Avid’s iNEWS newsroom computer systems are available to system
administrators in the Xmedia Server Configuration Guide.
