TA3, the only 24/7 news channel in Slovakia is now on-air with OCTOPUS6. OCTOPUS is integrated with Avid Command playout, Vizrt Pilot graphics and Autoscript prompters. All the operations around the switch from the old system to OOCTOPUS 6 went surprisingly smoothly. Users were well prepared, the system was well tested so all the stress and fear from "the scary new system" was for nothing. All we can do now is wish good luck to TA3 with their news and many happy years with us.
