Octopus Newsroom will demonstrate the expanded feature set of its newsroom computer system on stand 6J2-01 at Broadcast Asia 2018 in Singapore, between June 26-28. The Octopus team at the show will include Peter Stokuc, Gabriel Jankó, Luká Kotek, Miro Rusko and Jan Polak.
Reportedly optimised for use in television, radio, sports and esports newsrooms, Octopus provides the facilities required from start to completion of the news production process plus the tools to publish content to web and social media channels.
Octopus is scalable from a single channel, the company claims, with just a few bulletins per day to full-scale 24/7 networks. Software-based, it runs natively on Linux, Apple OS X and Microsoft Windows. Mobile apps for Google Android and Apple iOS tablets as well as smartphones give reporters and editors working remotely instant access to all wires, rundowns and assignments. Field-based staff can also reportedly edit stories within a rundown, preview prompter text and create wires and reports in the field.
A key feature of the BroadcastAsia exhibit will be the successful use of Octopus for sports broadcasting.
