Technology has evolved in such a way that the transfer of data occurs in an instant and updates can be shared with a few swipes or clicks, in real-time. Along with this change in the communication landscape, the growth of video as a means to share, entertain, inform and educate is unrelenting — its impact on our communication undeniable.Every individual voice can now be heard, as people can easily share their opinions, thoughts and experiences through social media platforms. Countless online communities have been grown, and continue to grow, around these forms of communication — especially around video sharing, which has generated a number of modern professions such as blogger, vlogger, influencer and citizen journalist.Such professions, which could not have existed at all in the past, prove that, collectively, individual voices can be just as powerful, if not more powerful, than those of organizations who own and produce mainstream content and material. In today’s connected landscape, there is no doubt that user-generated content (UGC) is a potent tool in brand building, education and information sharing.

What Is NewsApp?

NewsApp is a powerful media sharing platform that enables two-way communications between news stations and their viewers, organizations and their user networks, or companies and their customers, primarily through a branded mobile application.NewsApp consists of a front-end mobile application for users to contribute videos and a backend infrastructure for operators (service owners) to browse, administer, and manage user-generated content and associated actions like reward mechanisms.NewsApp Mobile ApplicationThe NewsApp platform provides a front-end mobile application for user contributors, which can be customized, branded and made available in mobile app stores like Google Play and Apple App Store. It enables users to:

• Capture images and record video


• Tag and upload images or videos


• Share footage to respective organization owning the app or service


• Receive compensation depending on the owning organization’s setup (optional)

NewsApp Backoffice

The NewsApp backoffice provides web-based access to all user-generated content from mobile app users.

• Browse and preview low resolution proxy versions of all user-generated content in the entire library


• User videos are fully catalogued and made to conform to broadcast standards, complete with metadata


• Videos can be downloaded in full high resolution formats for use in corporate campaigns or to upload to website


• Only the NewsApp service owner (corporate organization or institution) has exclusive access to the backoffice system


• Customize reward or user compensation mechanisms

NewsApp for Broadcasters & News Networks

NewsApp for News Organizations aims to bring broadcasters, news networks, and ordinary citizens together into a more efficient and mutually beneficial news gathering process.Local news acquisition is a continuing challenge to broadcasters, more so in having a news crew immediately available onsite. With NewsApp, broadcasters can augment their traditional news gathering process by crowdsourcing news footage from loyal viewers and the very people who are present when breaking news happens.

NewsApp for Corporate Organizations and Institutions

NewsApp enables companies and other organizations to solicit or source media content from their user networks and/or customers, launch image/video marketing campaigns such as contests to engage users, promote products or services to build brand awareness, educate or distribute information to app users, or even organize crowdsourcing or crowdfunding campaigns.App users can, in turn, share images and videos through the mobile app, whether in response to a promotional campaign, to contribute content, contribute to a cause, provide information to other users, or to provide feedback to owning organizations.

Nowadays, news anchors are more than just pretty faces reading from a prompter; they moderate multitudes of information sources, including news clippings and images, online resources, media files, and live feeds. With standard news formats becoming increasingly complex, news teams must adopt increased control of news program components to ensure they can run their programs smoothly and engage viewers.NewsTouch is an innovative IT-based multimedia touch system created by MediaPower. It is a standalone multimedia presentation appliance dedicated to the live production of press clippings, web content, and recorded and live media files in the studio for a live broadcasting environment.

Therefore, it can be used easily at the same time, even by two operators.Using natural gestures on a multi-touch board, the news anchor or journalist is in full control of his delivery, simultaneously anchoring and presenting supporting news clippings, videos, and content. Other than being able to scroll, zoom, and rotate images to emphasize points, NewsTouch also offers a vast array of powerful illustration tools for drawing arrows, shapes and other markers on top of images and videos; these include different pen sizes (in a range of colors) and an eraser feature. This element is particularly useful for sports and weather newscasters, as they must often reference specific sections of their supporting images for clarity.Equipped with advanced graphics capabilities, NewsTouch also supports the broadcast of video fragments, freezing frames and permitting users to add comments with its instantly retrievable writing tools. Additionally, NewsTouch incorporates a web browser which allows journalists and TV presenters to outline live material directly from the web with ease, as well as providing integrated support for social networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.Texts, graphics, images and multimedia material can also be visualized live or saved before the show on a local disc in order to guarantee a smooth access to the network content during the broadcast.

Even though it is a powerful and versatile instrument, it can be used by anyone, immediately and without training. Boasting four different pre-sets for color, layout and transparency, users can easily and precisely superimpose their own notes onto the background. Furthermore, NewsTouch has "no-panic" functions to distribute the presentation content evenly to a default zoom level, complete or selective cancelling tools, customizable menus and the option to exclusively visualize the essential information required during a live show, guaranteeing maximum concentration levels, without unnecessary distraction from excessive buttons and icons.

Dynamic Possibilities

Supports Professional Mobile Devices

NewsTouch now supports professional tablets, starting with Microsoft Surface Pro 2, making it more flexible and convenient to use, than ever before. By using a Surface Pro 2, journalists or news anchors can now freely move around during their presentations. Some news anchors are also already used to using tablets in their news reports, thereby making it easier to incorporate NewsTouch as another delivery tool for their compelling and dynamic reports.

Compatibility

Through its HD-SDI and HDMI outputs, NewsTouch covers all features for a video mixer, interactive graphics, web video and so much more. External secondary events can be managed via IP by means of a specific video matrix with a maximum of 16 inputs (4 standard).

The streamGear openGear® IP to SDI card range features powerful quad core processing and superfast graphics capability. This flexible platform can support broadcast, graphics or streaming applications by serving as a hardware engine or a standalone receiver, and can be stacked to provide 20 channels of the same power in just 2U of rack space.

Featuring a comprehensive set of connectivity options including Gigabit Ethernet, CANbus, SDI & HDMI output (3G, HD, SD), USB, LTC and analogue video, these cards have the capability to host applications at the boundary of IP and conventional video. A format/standards converter is included to ensure all video formats from SD PAL/NTSC through to 3G (1920 x 1080p59.94) are supported.

Available in Android Oreo and Yocto/Debian/Ubuntu/Boot2QT Linux distributions, the cards include an intelligently-engineered feature set straight out of the box. The open-architecture platform allows hardware interfaces to be directly customised for maximum security and flexibility. The industry standard iMX6 processor, (available in Dual or Quad core with speeds from 800 MHz to 1.2 GHz) provides unrivalled processing capability in a small and low power form factor. A Vivante GC2000 2D and 3D accelerated graphics processing unit is OpenGL compliant, enabling reliable delivery of rich and complex graphics.

Two versions of the card are launching at IBC: an operator-friendly Android version that allows app developers with no broadcast or video experience to build data-driven and IP streaming applications with broadcast compliant video output, and a Linux variant that provides a platform for a high-performance video and graphics OEM appliance.

Based on an existing, successful field-tested design, these cards allow high density integration and support for the openGear Dashboard management suite. Both Legacy and the latest OG3-FR frames are supported as is SERDES backplane Ethernet, utilising the internal openGear Frame Ethernet switch option. This allows 20 cards to utilise just one Ethernet switch port.

Because of the plethora of camera and smartphone streaming video contribution requirements, the capability to make this an SDI source in conventional video environments has been limited and expensive. With broadcast functionality becoming more and more IP-connected, the need for greater local processing and rendering capability is growing. This efficient, elegant and cost-effective solution serves as a powerful tablet device with SDI output.

Applications include:

·       IP contribution from Smartphone, tablet, streaming camera

·       Video wall and studio backdrop driver

·       Weather maps and other still or animated data driven video application.

 Non-video uses include:

·       In rack monitoring gateway for openGear Dashboard

·       Bi-directional IP to CANbus gateway

·       Linear timecode to IP domain gateway
