SCISYS showcasing the ‘ secret sauce ’ for visual radio workflows
In collaboration with Broadcast Bionics , SCISYS is highlighting the next generation of visual radio workflows . Calling it their “ secret sauce ” for visual radio workflows , social media integration and studio controls to develop systems , the companies describe how this approach allows the addition of visual radio workflows into existing radio workflows .
The solution highlights all of the necessary elements needed for producing visual radio . These include live video feeds from cameras , and separate video playout from asset files , graphics and stills , which are all synchronised with the existing radio playout .
Furthermore , social media integration plays a big part in all of this .
SCISYS is also focusing on the integration

Alongside the EFS 200 , Editshare ’ s EFS 300 aims to provide more storage options for smaller productions .
To better address the requirements of smaller productions , EditShare is presenting the single-node EFS storage system models — the XStream EFS 200 and 300 .
According to the company , the EFS 200 and 300 are “ great options ” for thousands of smaller companies , where a multi-node cluster is “ simply an overkill ” for their needs .
These new products from EditShare are based on the XStream EFS platform , and provide dynamic performance and fault tolerance , streamline administrative tasks , as well as a plug-and-play upgrade path .
The XStream EFS platform is designed to support workgroups requiring highbandwidth , high-volume media ingest , transcoding , online collaborative editing and multi-platform distribution of HD , 2K , 4K / Ultra HD ( UHD ) and beyond .
Whether a one-node or multi-node system , every XStream EFS model can easily be expanded to increase capacity and bandwidth . For ease-of-use and administration , all XStream EFS systems present a single namespace , regardless of the system size .
Unlike many SAN ( storage area network ) storage solutions , the performance of XStream EFS does not decrease as storage use increases . Its continual “ optimal performance and outstanding reliability ” are backed by RAID 6 technology , says EditShare .
The EFS 200 and 300 are on display at booth 6H4-01 .
