Viz Mosart User Guide

Version 4.1 | Published July 09, 2021 ©

Quick Overview

  • Viz Mosart controls the devices in the control room that previously were operated manually. One person for the vision mixer, one person at the audio mixer, one person playing video tapes (from tape machines) etc.

  • Now, Viz Mosart communicates with all of them: sending commands to the vision mixer to switch from a camera to a video clip for instance.

  • Sending a command at the same time to the audio mixer: "Pull the studio microphone faders down (belonging to the camera template) AND pull the video server faders up"! (Belonging to the video clip template)

  • This takes away the sound from the studio (news presenters) (Camera), and enables the sound from the video servers only (hearing the audio from the video clip)

  • These commands that are doing all the things that you want to be done (e.g. commands that you type in/drag into your story) are in the newsroom system; the NRCS (e.g. iNEWS, ENPS or OpenMedia).

  • So a journalist writing a story, can quickly (inside the NRCS) create a ready-to-air news story containing the Viz Mosart templates for e.g. Camera and Package (video clip).

  • For the Viz Mosart operator, when hitting Take Next shortcut on the keyboard, it performs the commands you have put into the story in the NRCS.

  • The Viz Mosart GUI continuously receives updates from the NRCS, not the other way around.
