Omnibus Systems complete project for RTM

OmniBus Systems has announced that it has completed another key project within the Malaysian broadcast market, working with systems integrator Digistar/Gala Antena to install a Columbus news automation system across three news playout studios in Radio Televisyen Malaysia's (RTM) Kuala Lumpur headquarters.
"The newsroom installation at RTM marked a significant technology shift for the company and for the state of Malaysian broadcasting overall," said Dave Polyard, senior vice president of sales and marketing at OmniBus Systems.
"RTM operators are now fully trained and responsible for running OmniBus automation and controlling character generators and vision mixers via MOS from an advanced newsroom system that simplifies production and playout across the facility's studios."
OmniBus Systems' Columbus automation allows operators at RTM to play out complex sequences during news programs and bulletins.
With control of the production switcher, character generator, and graphics devices, Columbus provides as much automation as any broadcaster could want. RTM has put two of its news programs under automation control and is in the process of bringing additional news programs under fully automated control as staff become more familiar with automated operations.
In addition to integrating with RTM's Dalet newsroom system and driving Leitch servers, OmniBus' content management tools enable operators at the facility to browse for media across the network and the archive, to compile storyboard-style keyframes for more detailed searches to be carried out, and to assist in the creation of Windows Media 9 copies of finished stories for posting on RTM's website.
