OCTOPUS Newsroom and Ross Video officially announced today that they have entered into a new technology partnership together.

The partnership followed successful tests of OCTOPUS6 newsroom computer system and XPression graphics system which are integrated through the industry standard MOS protocol. As a result of the new integration, users are now able to select templates, edit text, replace graphics, and see full-motion previews of XPression graphics directly in the OCTOPUS6 interface.

TVN Warszawa, which has been our customer since its beginning in 2008, switched to OCTOPUS6 today. The infotainment channel, part of the TVN Group, focuses on life in Poland's capital providing daily breaking news and updates on local events. The upgrade was done mostly remotely apart from personal user and administrator training to ensure everyone involved with the system became familiar with OCTOPUS6 functions. OCTOPUS6 is integrated with Building4Media automation, Vizrt graphics and Autocue teleprompters. We look forward to stories prepared by TVN Warszawa journalists in their new OCTOPUS6 newsroom computer system.
