VT Proxy MOS Browser

Powerful Production Tools
The VT Proxy Browser is an optional ActiveX control that runs stand-alone with Internet Explorer or inside newsroom automation software, such as iNews, ENPS and NewsKing, providing remote media searching and browsing. MOS (Media Object Server) is a standard that has evolved to allow compatible broadcast equipment to seamlessly interoperate with newsroom software. Journalists build rundowns early by using the browser to create a Clip Request with detailed metadata (VO/SOT/Package ID, Feed Source and Duration) to be used throughout the entire production process.

Instant Access
The VT MOS ActiveX Browser enables clips to be associated with newsroom scripts. Users can double click thumbnails in the Apella browser and view 30/25fps MPEG-1 proxy playback on their desktop. Approved clips can then be dragged and dropped into a story in the rundown. Apella Media Servers come standard with a MOS interface, enabling newsroom applications to dynamically synchronize Apella PlayLists with their rundowns. At airtime, the newsroom editor automatically creates a PlayList on an Apella system while maintaining synchronicity throughout the entire show. Status on all MOS active rundowns is sent back to the newsroom editor. Execute VT MOS PlayLists via GPI triggers and via the VT Director GUI.
