PRODUCTS – BROADCAST – NEWSROOM
The heart of today's Television Studio is the Newsroom. It's also probably the fastest paced area of operation where timings are reduced to split seconds. The News, after all, waits for no one. What makes possible the tying together of so many diverse inputs: journalist, cameraman, editor, anchor, production and transmission are automated workflows that smooth and simplify operations.

Playing a critical role is these workflows are the Newsroom Systems that keeps track of stories and content and the non-linear, Newsroom Editing Systems that help to integrate the editing and presentation of the footage seamlessly into the workflow.

In Newsroom Systems, Octopus, with a range of products that integrate to provide complete Newsroom solutions has carved a unique place for itself.
