OCTOPUS Newsroom System

Octopus will present at NAB 2019 its newest, innovative news production system that creates new horizons for the future of broadcasting and news.

The new Octopus iReporter app allows news studios to directly interact with their viewers and social media. The app is equipped with an interactive geo-location map to locate people near an ongoing event, turning them into potential reporters.

The Octopus team will also showcase the next generation of newsroom design and real-time collaboration tools that enable news teams and their members to contribute from anywhere. Octopus extends viewer engagement with social media integration and rapid publishing to key CMSs.

Octopus will also feature an enhanced task management interface, which can be used for resource management, tracking, and oversight. The task management interface allows for multiple views, including calendar and agenda views. Users can also create custom fields on the interface to match their preferred workflow style.

For broadcasters using the legacy NRCS, the transition to Octopus is very easy and with minimal impact. Even better, Octopus supports both Linear and Digital broadcast and extends beyond news production to fully support eSports, Sports, WebTV and Live Events. The Octopus News Room system is currently used by the world’s largest online sports (eSports) broadcaster with significant success.

Octopus Newsroom reduces wasted time by improving sharing options. Content and sources can be shared in real time between multiple teams working on the same story and across different platforms, says Gene Sudduth, the company’s National Sales Director. While Gianluca Bertuzzi, Sales Director for Latin America & Africa, adds that journalists really appreciate the ability to create content remotely as it gives them the freedom to work directly from remote locations and share assets instantly with the media.
