Morpheus integrated with Mosart

Danish national broadcaster, DR, is using the Mosart automation system to drive DR Update, an all-day television news channel distributed via satellite, terrestrial and internet streaming.  DR is the first broadcaster to use Mosart automation integrated with Snell’s Morpheus platform.

DR uses Mosart with Morpheus to switch between DR Update’s live news production and its alternate twenty-minute looping sections, releasing the studio to work on new production, while retaining the ability to simultaneously modify the loop being played out from continuity.

The integration of Mosart with Morpheus expands the system’s capabilities by making Mosart as-run logs available to Morpheus, automatically transferring the news as-run between Mosart and Morpheus, This enables a flexible operation including changes to story-itemized looping playlists running on Morpheus. The integrated system gives news broadcasters a secure means of managing the transition between live gallery production and looped segments in continuity.

Support for Morpheus is a new feature of the current version of the Mosart automation system and also of  v3.0, which is making its debut at NAB 2011.
