iTX NEWS is a powerful, next-generation, multi-media, MOS-compatible news production and transmission system that uses iTX technology to provide an IT-based, open and scalable architecture. Developed in consultation with some of the major names in news broadcasting and building on more than 15 years of OmniBus’ experience at the forefront of news automation at facilities worldwide, iTX NEWS delivers an extremely flexible and responsive workflow for today’s rapidly evolving, multi-format news environment.
iTX NEWS consists of a wide-ranging suite of product components that can be combined in different configurations to provide solutions for news broadcasters of all sizes. It offers both extensive automation and advanced manual control functionality to allow operators to react instantly to late-breaking news.
iTX NEWS has outstanding multi-format capabilities; operators can easily ingest and edit together SD and HD sources and combine them in the same playlist with non-broadcast material such as security footage and usergenerated content. With real-time format conversion and rendering taking place at the point of transmission, iTX NEWS makes it possible to make changes in the playlist right up to the last moment.
The iTX architecture streamlines the output of multiple versions of the same playlist for SD, HD, Internet streaming, mobile TV and other platforms, with automatic transcoding and distribution of content.
