IMT Vislink To Demonstrate Live Remote Production Workflows Using newsnet at NAB 2018

xG Technology, Inc. ("xG") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a leading provider of wireless video solutions for the broadcast, law enforcement and defense markets, and private mobile broadband networks for critical communications, announces that its IMT Vislink business will be demonstrating the growing newsnet ecosystem live throughout NAB 2018 (Booth C6008). The demonstrations will feature integrated solutions from its partners AP ENPS, Clear-Com, CueScript and Frontline Communications. They will showcase how newsnet is incorporated into live remote production workflows, and how it helps broadcasters maximize coverage while fully leveraging studio assets in the field.
newsnet takes advantage of newsroom automation systems by tying a live shot into the rundown and letting it dictate the priorities, enabling high-speed file transfers and access to the servers, intercom, prompters and other features. The companies involved in the demonstration will work in harmony across the newsnet system and help contribute to the evolution of electronic news gatherings. newsnet is a valued solution because it has scalability and can adapt as the other products incorporated in the workflow evolve.
The onsite workflow begins with IMT hosting a mock ENG newscast at its booth, with the newsnet system being integrated into Frontline Communications' broadcast vehicle onsite. newsnet is now MOS (Media Object Server)-integrated with AP ENPS, which will provide automated bandwidth control to the live shot and allows the producer to see full operational status on the ENPS screen. Clear-Com will be incorporated into the newscast with its new IP-based IFB/intercom system, as the audio intercom signals travel seamlessly across the newsnet network allowing the news team to take vital cues from the news station's production control room. The newscast will also extend into CueScript's booth, feeding its new IP-based teleprompter system coupled with its new line of field prompters, providing the news crew with the same luxury of a prompter in the field as the anchors in the studio. The newsnet system will then allow IMT Vislink to transmit the Clear-Com IP intercom, CueScript teleprompter, return video and field edit capability to the Frontline booth.
The live in-booth newsnet demonstrations are scheduled to take place at the IMT Vislink booth (C6008) at the following times:
* Monday, April 9: 1:30 PM (PDT)
