PPCC: Newsroom Version
Integration with Major Newsroom Systems
Hosted on a powerful, dual processor server platform running Windows Server 2003 the Newsroom
version of the Pixel Power Control Centre provides core support for the integration of Pixel
Power graphics systems with AVID iNews, ENPS and other MOS enabled newsroom systems.
Dual Xeon processors provide the performance required to build dynamic previews for ActiveX
plug-ins deployed in a busy newsroom. Windows Server 2003 provides robust networking to
service both newsroom and asset migration processes. Redundant power supplies and mirrored
disk storage ensure the reliability and fault tolerance necessary in a mission critical
broadcast system.
The systems MOS gateway supports close integration of one or multiple Clarity systems with
an ENPS-based newsroom, including the use of our Pixel Power ActiveX plug-in for ENPS
within the newsroom desktops.
The system also provides supporting services for the Pixel Power ActiveX plug-in for AVID
iNews. In an iNews installation playout automation may also be implemented via the Pixel
Power Device Manager for AVID iNews ControlAir, providing and end-to-end newsroom graphics
solution.
The Pixel Power ActiveX plug-in is sold separately in single seat or ten seat license packs.
