SCISYS Media Solutions also welcomes a new visual radio solution to its portfolio; Viura, a software tool for intelligent camera control in the radio studio for editors and presenters. Based on BlackMagic and DHD hardware, Viura allows all components to be completed with both dira! and third party solutions for playout and production.

This unison will simplify even the most complex workflows in broadcast news production and enabling editorial teams to complete any newsroom project with ease.
One of the lighthouse accounts in North America is the Canadian broadcaster Corus Entertainment, which has invested heavily in the OpenMedia platform. Corus and its Global News division are already beginning to experience the true story centric collaborative workflow approach of the OpenMedia planning system, rolling out to all of its stations and locations across Canada as the central tool for its newsroom planning and rundown management.
“OpenMedia is helping us completely transform our News organization. It’s bringing us together, across workflows, platforms and locations,” says Geoff Franklin, Director, News Architecture at Corus. “It’s a flexible platform that allows us to build our own technological and editorial workflows and connect to other third party systems, like Grass Valley Go, making it effective for the people using it, which is reflected in the final product.”
Deployment of the OpenMedia planning system within the Corus network has already started at facilities throughout Canada, with a full national deployment planned for completion in 2020.
