IBC24 News has made broadcast history – becoming the first channel in India to launch end-to-end Full HD 1080p news production. And at the heart of this transformation flows Octopus Newsroom, powering the editorial process with smart, fluid, and reliable newsroom technology.
This milestone isn’t just a leap in resolution. It’s a shift in how stories are shaped, shared, and scaled, with Octopus NRCS providing the backbone for structure, speed, and editorial confidence.
Anchored in Precision, Designed for People
The Octopus news production system now drives IBC24’s entire editorial workflow, from story planning to live rundown control and publishing across platforms. Built to help journalists do their best work, it offers:
- Real-time collaboration between editorial and technical teams
- Rundown-based control and multi-platform story management
- Tight integration with Vizrt, Grass Valley, Autoscript, and more
- A clear, adaptable structure — ready for live broadcasting at scale
For a newsroom navigating fast currents, Octopus brings clarity, flexibility, and control.
“This wasn’t just about upgrading resolution – it was about building a newsroom that supports confident, collaborative storytelling, and Octopus helped us bring structure, speed, and simplicity to our editorial flow.”
Kishore Karmakar, Senior Vice President, IBC24 News
A Deep Dive into Transformation
The journey to Full HD wasn’t shallow. It took over two years of hands-on effort, from solution selection and cable layout to system commissioning and launch. Octopus worked closely with IBC24 and its trusted technology partners to create a streamlined, future-ready production environment.
Future-Facing, Flowing Forward
With the launch complete, IBC24 now operates a newsroom that’s faster, more structured, and deeply aligned with its journalistic mission. Their team has more time to focus on what matters most: the stories, the audience, and the impact.
“IBC24 has shown what’s possible when dedication meets the right tools. This isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a foundation for a stronger, more confident future, and we’re honored to support it.”
