ND SatCom to introduce smartSNG at NAB

ND SatCom, a leading global supplier of satellite-based broadband VSAT, broadcast and defence communication network solutions, will introduce its new broadcast workflow automation system smartSNG at NAB 2006 on booth no. C6544.
ND SatCom’s smartSNG is the first integrated Satellite News Gathering workflow solution in the broadcast industry. smartSNG is a distributed client-server system that enables news room editors at central, mobile or remote contribution sites to book, schedule and control all resources and equipment required for a news production. ND SatCom’s new solution targets broadcasters and media companies as well as SNG coach builders serving the broadcast community.
The smartSNG system fully automates the SNG vehicle and enables operation by a single non-technical person. Providing complete and easy workflow integration, the system eliminates the traditional booking and tape handling process empowering journalists to save time and to focus on their jobs. In brief, smartSNG streamlines workflow management and turns SNG vehicles into mobile offices with always-on, broadband communications capabilities.
Users already operating the resource planning system, ScheduALL, are presented with an integrated extension for the management of DVB uplinks. In the same way, broadcasters who had so-far considered the management of their uplinks only can now extend this capability with a widely-recognized resource planning tool.
Dr Gerhard Bommas, CTO of ND SatCom, commented: "The development of smartSNG is based on a unique technology partnership between ND SatCom and ScheduALL. This team combines the strengths of its member companies both in the satellite and in the workflow integration worlds. ScheduALL’s workflow integration and booking automation and ND SatCom’s SNG automation and communications solution package create innovative time and cost saving benefits for broadcasters."
