Xnews is a MOS-compliant Newsroom Computer System (NCS) plug-in that provides news
producers and journalists with immediate access to images, graphic elements and
templates directly from their newsroom desktops. Graphic pages can be created or edited
to produce effective lower-thirds, over-the-shoulder graphics images, and full-screen builds
with animated highlights. Finished graphic pages can then be quickly dragged and dropped
into local news rundowns, which can then be played out using Xplay.
Xnews is available as an ActiveX plug-in or a stand-alone web client. As an ActiveX plug-in
software, Xnews integrates fully into any MOS compliant newsroom system, as well as
broadcast automation systems like:
