ControlAir

Overview

Automated rundown, script update, production, and playback control

Avid iNEWS ControlAir automation-assist system provides automated rundown lists, tracks script changes, and automates control of production and playback facilities. Last-minute changes are instantly reflected in up to 32 broadcast production devices that are simultaneously controlled from a single workstation



Key Benefits

  • Multiple device control. Automation assist allows the transmission process to be semi-automated. See the list of supported devices.
  • Instant update. Tight integration with the rundown allows the producer to change the show while it is on air, and changes to be reflected rapidly in the ControlAir system
  • Independent operation. Operates discretely from the newsroom network, so it is unaffected in the unlikely event of a network disconnection
  • Easy to integrate. Open platform with Software Developer's Kit (SDK) makes it easy to integrate new devices. See the iNEWS partner solutions.
