Telescript and NDI:
The Perfect IP Match cont'd...
Studios
particularly
should
take
note of Telescript's Expert NDI
System, which comes with a 4:3 19 "
NDI prompter display, a 16x9 17.3 "
NDI reference display, a ClockOne
clock, and a TallyOne digit tally, both
of which can be connected to the
displays to follow the NDI tally data
for on and off air color changes. These
Expert systems also come with an
updated, wider trapezoidal hood to
accommodate wider studio lenses.
Telescript also significantly upgraded
teleprompter
their
studio
line
of
systems with a new hood mounting
system. " Since we were introducing
new technology into our monitors, we
thought it might be time to update our
trapezoidal hood that we have been
using for years, " says Theresa O'Brien.
" The new hood has a new sleek design
and it's also much more versatile. We
made the hood much wider for greater
flexibility, and we added side flaps to
help keep light off of the monitor to
increase readability. We really think
customers will like the new design. "
" As it is with everything, the cost
can alienate a customer from new
technology. We didn't want to do that
to our customers. We wanted everyone
to be able to take advantage of this
technology without them having to
replace the Telescript software that
they've already invested in "
explains Jim. " No matter what
version of Telescript
software you have,
you can continue to
use it and still be able
to stream to our NDI
displays, no matter
where that display is. "
" Keeping
existing
customers and
new customers
satisfied is the most
important thing we
do at Telescript;
it's what drives us
every day. You will
not find another company
that cares about its customers,
understands their needs, and is able to
offer prompt solutions like Telescript.
We have a unique connection with
our customers because nearly all of
us here at Telescript started out as
users. And we still are " said Chris
O'Brien. " Having used teleprompting
equipment and software, even before
the advent of computer prompting
gives us a unique perspective on what
we have available today.
NDI connectivity
" We really feel like we know exactly
what a customer needs for their
New Expert with NDI
application. So not only can we sell
them what they need, we can guide
them through the implementation
process and even be on location to
help if required. "
" We're proud of the products we
sell " continued Theresa. " I think
once someone becomes a Telescript
customer, they stay a Telescript
customer, because nowhere else will
you get the level of satisfaction you do
with us. "

Agile News Coverage with Comrex LiveShot
L
ive wireless electronic
news gathering (ENG)
requires mobility. Field teams
need to be able to move fast
to get to breaking news in
time to deliver good coverage.
And breaking news doesn't
always happen in convenient
locations. Live broadcasting
solutions need to be able to
go anywhere, and work with
limited resources.
Director for WDAY/WDAZ.
And because LiveShot is so
portable, WDAY's news team
can move between locations
with ease.
LiveShot's return video
function also makes
it possible to do live

WDAY, an ABC-affiliate located
ND, delivers local news
Fargo,
and programming to a vast area of
approximately 200 square miles.
Because their market is so wide
spread, they need to be as mobile as
possible to get to breaking news as
quickly as possible.
Previously,
they
were
using
a
satellite truck, which required a
good deal of scheduling and
coordination. LiveShot has
enabled them to be more agile.
" Instead of sending 5 people
to do a live shot, I can just
send 2, " said Jeff Nelson, News
the
field.
LiveShot enables the
production team at the
studio to simultaneously
stream a video feed to the team in
the field. WDAY uses this to send
teleprompter, making it easier
reporters to do their jobs.
for
" It's made my job as a newscaster
that much easier, it's made our
reporters better, it's made our
production better, " said Nelson. " It's
been great
for reducing costs and
being able to get places we ordinarily
would not be able to go. "

Reliable IP Video
Transport and More
CTN Coon Rapids is a PEG station
in Coon Rapids, MN. In addition to
producing government programming,
CTN covers community programming

When they expanded their live
video equipment with a second truck,
they turned to LiveShot. They use the
return video function to stream the
engineering multiviewer to the field
team, so they can see everything
that's happening at the station.
They also make use of the cue audio
feed, which allows reporters to
communicate directly with the control
room. Plus, the LiveShot Control
App enables engineers at the studio
to log in to a remote unit from afar,
monitor statistics, and troubleshoot as
necessary.
