Command Server
Avid iNEWS Command is a device automation system that integrates with any iNEWS or
MOS-enabled newsroom computer system (NRCS) and provides broadcasters precise
control over a range of playout devices, including video servers, still stores, and character
generators in a broadcast news environment. Backup services and mirrored playout make
this system reliable while the user interface allows you to control multiple production
devices. Avid iNEWS Command also works with Avid Service Framework applications and
services to ensure you always have the best system performance.
