Introduction
NTV, one of Mongolia's leading broadcasters, has successfully launched live news production using the Octopus Newsroom System. This marked a significant step forward in modernizing its newsroom operations and improving the speed and efficiency of news delivery.
With a fully integrated newsroom workflow, NTV is now able to connect journalists, producers, graphics, teleprompter and playout systems into a single production environment, enabling seamless live news broadcasts.
About the Project
NTV wanted to modernize its newsroom operations and introduce live news broadcasting capabilities. The objective was to create a streamlined newsroom environment that would improve productivity, enhance collaboration and enable faster news delivery.
To achieve this, Whiteways Systems designed and implemented a complete newsroom workflow solution based on the Octopus Newsroom System. The solution integrated newsroom computers, graphics, teleprompter and playout systems into a single workflow, allowing content to move seamlessly from story creation to on-air transmission.
Whiteways was responsible for the supply, integration, testing, commissioning and training required to ensure successful deployment of the entire system.
The project scope included the supply, integration and commissioning of:
• Octopus Newsroom System
• Vector Box Ingest Server
• MOS-Controlled Teleprompter System
• Vector Box Imagena Graphics System
• Vector Box News Playout Server
• Complete newsroom workflow integration
The system designed and installed by Whiteways consists of:
The entire project was successfully executed by Whiteways Systems Pte. Ltd., Singapore, serving as the system integrator for the project.
The Whiteways team worked closely with NTV's newsroom staff, implemented the Octopus Newsroom system, integrated third-party solutions and ensured that everything was fully operational for live news broadcasts.
Looking Ahead
With Octopus now part of the core newsroom setup, NTV is well-positioned for a faster and more flexible news production workflow.
Working in Mongolia’s often harsh and snowy conditions, NTV’s newsroom stands out for its speed and adaptability. The challenging terrain only highlights how far the team has come in building a modern and connected newsroom.
