Technical requirements: The object of this procurement is Viz Opus solution and Viz graphics playout for regional news studios. (RNS) In order to achieve speed, reliability and reduced number of personnel, Yle will purchase a a Viz Opus system for regional news.

Yle plans to simplify and speed up workflow in the production of the newscast at the regional news studios (later referred as RNS) in Tampere. Currently newscasts are using a unique solution of Vidico system combined with Avid iNews newsroom system etc. Yle aims to unify the News studios to similar workflows than in use in Helsinki national news studios. This system consists of Viz Mosart studio system including Mosart media router, Vizrt Graphics system, Lawo VSM virtual studio management system, and their respective workflows to produce newscasts from different control rooms. These systems and workflows require a lot of personnel and preparative actions, causing sometimes unacceptable delays into the news publication process. To enable faster news coverage, Yle is looking for an replacement system to the present, aging automation system of regional news. There are 2 indentical news studio setups located in Tampere, Mediapolis. Yle will purchase 2 identical and self-contained systems. Both of these units can operate concurrent with each other. Also the tender covers all Graphic playout needs for the RNS. One unit of a Dual channel Viz engine license (separate from the Viz Opus engine HW) or 2 units of a single channel Viz Engine including the same plugins licensed already at Yle news engines, is needed to cover playout of the 2 studio floors independent of each other.
