Quantel introduced “News to Go” — a new concept based on a new product — Newsbox. Newsbox is a range of pre-packaged integrated news production systems. This approach ensures that server-based production need no longer be regarded as a major systems purchase. With Newsbox, broadcasters can match the look and speed to air of larger stations.
Newsbox is a convenient, self-contained unit that comes with all that is needed to ingest material, view rushes, choose shots, edit stories, review finished pieces and play them out to air. Its common progressive user interface and toolset are exactly the same as all the sQ systems from Quantel.
New ingest and playout automation from Quantel completes the Newsbox package. The Newsbox difference comes in the packaging of the server, which has been re-engineered to bring a complete one-stop news shop.
“News to Go” has a second meaning — and a second application for Newsbox too; Newsbox can literally take news on the road. A complete Newsbox system can fit into two 24in flightcases and can be up and running on location in a couple of minutes.
