CAN Newsroom System Demo

And I'm impressed you do it with a web model. We haven't been able to figure out how to do that with quick enough response time. We have some additional pieces and have been trying to avoid MOS et al, but have a solution coming for that as well. Much of what we ned up doing is explaining why a school would need this in the first place. After helping to launch a dozen networks, we know the reason.. but most folks don't.

Yes, it took a fair amount of optimization! In fact, the prototype originally crashed Firefox!

I too looked at integrating MOS. It's dense. I wouldn't have minded doing it, but there was no guarantee any of the vendors would create non-ActiveX reliant plug-ins that would work in Rundown Creator... so it seemed kind of fruitless.

Rundown Creator has a built-in auto-updating teleprompter on every workstation too!

That's a valuable tool. Ours is set by preferences, so only the producer can change the rundown, or whomever the administrator says should do it. Plus editorial archives, true double column scripting, plus wire and RSS feed capture, plus top line messaging, plus a link to a two channel SD video player, soon to be HD. Which makes for a complete workflow solution.

We have user permissions and archives too, and many of the others features you mentioned are coming as well. I've gotta say I like how you handle attaching video.  Very cool.
