Visitors to the Harris booth will see an end-to-end demonstration of the full NewsForce HD/SD news workflow, showcasing transparency of HD/SD operations from ingest through production and editing to air. Harris ADC-1000™ playout automation will be shown driving the Snell & Wilcox Kahuna™ production switcher using instructions from an AP ENPS® rundown to queue, play and switch media elements from that list and advance them to air — highlighting ADC-1000 control across multiple Harris platforms, including the NEXIO AMP™ server, Platinum™ router, CENTRIO™ multiviewer and G7 graphics system.

Harris is also showcasing its comprehensive range of new NewsForce editors, optimized for the quick edits and 24/7 demands of live news production — the Velocity ESX™ on-SAN high-resolution editor; the Velocity XNG™ field editor; and the Velocity PRX™ low-resolution proxy editor. All editors deliver on the speed, flexibility and fault tolerance provided by the NEXIO™ storage area network (SAN), and offer seamless integration with leading newsroom computer systems to streamline the newsroom workflow.

NewsForce™ also features full integration of Apple® Final Cut Pro® to provide editing directly onto the NEXIO SAN — even during ingest — and sharing of media and timelines with NewsForce™ and Final Cut Pro editors. NewsForce plug-ins for Final Cut Pro® enhance content searches of the NEXIO SAN, enable browse viewing and shot selection, and provide FCP desktops with MOS NRCS integration. NewsForce™ shortens the speed to edit with immediate access from Final Cut Pro® to shared content of the NEXIO SAN, while also enabling playout of the edit to begin sooner than when rendered from Final Cut Pro®.

Utilizing the Dixon sports engine, which is specifically designed to log and manage metadata and perform systems control, and the Harris NEXIO AMP server, highlights are available to go to air almost instantly.

Also demonstrated will be the Production Playout Center (PPC) server playout application from Broadcast Controls Inc., which is designed to handle a range of production control room environments and allow users to get material on-air in record time. From scripted news to on-the-fly live productions,the PPC has three core modules that fit into any type of production environment — Newsroom Script List, a scripted playout module; the Shot Selector module, specifically designed for live, unscripted playout; and the Quick Pick Fast Replay module, which is ideal for fast turnaround of multi-points within multiple media IDs — critical when there is no time for an edit suite.

For facilities racing to produce better graphics and optimize workflow, Harris also will be demonstrating the new Inscriber G7 integrated broadcast graphics system, which delivers 2D and 3D real-time graphics flawlessly in SD or HD over two channels. Featuring integrated clips, stills, DVE, and full AES audio support, the G7™ also integrates RTXports™ for running third-party real-time applications, such as data streams from arena scoreboards, without needing a separate playout device.
