VSNExplorer Plugin for NRCS, a MOS Media Bus 100% developed in HTML5, allows users to access the main functionalities of their VSNExplorer MAM system directly from their NRCS interface, enabling journalists and editors to edit and unify video files and graphics over the video and then drag and drop the final piece into the news item, including the possibility of re-editing it afterwards.
VSNExplorer Plugin for NRCS is an add-on feature to the VSNExplorer solution for Media and Business Process management and has been fully developed in HTML5 to avoid the need to use or install additional hardware or software. It is compatible with most NCRS including Octopus 8, Inception from Ross Video, iNews from Avid, ENPS from AP News and others, and is integrated with the NRCS via the Media Object Server (MOS) Communications Protocol.
This MOS Media Bus is also integrated with CGs systems via MOS to read the catalog of graphics templates that are available, allowing the journalist to enhance the news item by synchronizing the media with graphics. Therefore the Web Plugin enables editors and journalists to edit and unify video files and graphics over the video and then drag and drop the final piece into the news item, including the possibility of re-editing it afterward. Later, the items can be even sent automatically to any Studio Playout solution, such as VSNLivecom.

Project Parking
A new function of Project Parking; Delta Parking, helps simplify Avid project backup workflows and collaborations. This now means Avid projects can be moved to shared storage or cloud, picked up by a remote freelancer or production facility, edited, then versioned back to the storage – only the changes are uploaded which means only new media and the project metadata is moved. The project can then be restored back into the source project in Avid NEXIS. It’s a great way to share projects whilst protecting and managing the project. Better still, Delta Parking is a standard capability of Project Parking – ideal for productions using distributed contributors and making remote productions practical.
