installed
at

News' headquarters

London.
The
turnkey
TalkShow
system
receives,
monitors
and manages video
calls, with a unique
set of live production
tools such as call

recording not found in other video
calling systems. These tools allow
producers to deliver enhanced video/
audio experiences that are critical for
producing higher-quality broadcast
programming that is simply not
possible with standard desktop video
messaging products.
Sky News had previously used Skype
in various iterations for its on-air video
calls, but needed to move to a more
professional and reliable broadcast
platform.
Richard Pattison, Deputy Head of
News Technology, Sky News, said. "We
liked the fact that TalkShow worked
out of the box and integrated easily
with our existing control PC. It was
also useful that it did not require audio
inputs to be embedded on video."
