SAMVAD TELEPROMPTER

ENPS Newsroom,

OCTOPUS Newsroom

Operations Guide

Overview

This document describes the SAMVAD teleprompting system's interoperation with the ENPS Newsroom system and the OCTOPUS

Newsroom system, via the MOS 2.6 protocol. This document covers the installation of the SAMVAD software, configuration of settings in both systems, and the operational procedures for using the systems in conjunction with each other. This document does not explain how to install and configure the ENPS system and OCTOPUS system; it assumes a working ENPS,OCTOPUS environment. It also assumes the target computer has been configured for TCP/IP networking, and can contact the ENPS server, Octopus server via it.

MOS CONFIGURATION

The SAMVAD MOS Gateway program provides the communication between the

ENPS server and the SAMVAD prompting application. It must always be running in order to receive content from the server; a shortcut to it is automatically installed in the Desktop or in C:\Program Files\Comcon\Samvad M.8.01 Gateway shortcut.

The program window appears:

Below is a description of the controls:

MOS SERVER DETAILS

NCSIP: IP address of the ENPS server

NCSID: ID which is entered from enps server.

UPPER Port: TCP port to use (10541 is standard)

ACTIVATED: CHECK

NCSTYPE: ENPS

MOSID: ID which is entered from enps.

MOSIP: Ip of the local system in which samvad software is installed.

LOWER PORT: TCP port to use (10540 is standard)

Required Settings in Enps

The settings necessary to configure for your particular installation are NOM Server

IP,MOS ID. It is also important that the correct NCS ID be entered via the registry

The values to enter for NOM Server IP and NCS ID will be determined by your network settings and ENPS configuration, respectively. To obtain this information using the ENPS Client software, click on the logo in the upper-left corner of the window. The following dialog should appear:

The Local Server field is the NCS ID, and the IP Address is the NOM Server IP.

As the MOS ID, for the examples in this documentation, use

COMCON.COMCON1.MOS. (You may create a different MOS ID at any time.)

Add MOS Device to ENPS

Follow the steps below to set up the new MOS device with ENPS:

1. Start the ENPS Client software, then click ENPS > System Maintenance > MOS

Configuration:

The following window appears:

2. Click the New button. Enter COMCON.COMCON1.MOS in the New ID dialog, then click OK

3. In the MOS configuration window, double-click the description field to open a device

Configuration dialog:

In the description field, enter SAMVAD MOS Gateway.

In the IP field, enter the IP address of the computer running the samvad mos gateway. The Program field may be modified to create the device for a specific program or channel, but is not mandatory. Enter 2.6 for the MOS Version.

Check the fields next to Auto Create and Story Send.

Procedure

Start the Samvad MOS Gateway

Unless it’s already running, start the Samvad MOS Gateway by clicking Samvad

M.8.01.exe which is created on the desktop or C:\Program Files\Comcon\Samvad

M.8.01.

NOTE: The MOS Gateway program must be running for rundowns and script data to be received!

Activate rundown in ENPS

This section will assume that you have access to all of the necessary elements to create an ENPS Rundown: users, scripts, etc. For assistance with these, please consult the ENPS User’s Manual, or support@enps.com

.

For our example, first create a rundown with several scripts all containing text

(the Import Text or RTF function is useful), or for all intents and purposes use an actual rundown that will be used in production (make a copy or backup, of course!)

Here is an example of an ENPS rundown:

Next, open the rundown properties window by clicking Rundown Rover >

Properties, or by double-clicking the rundown title bar. The rundown properties window looks like the following.

When you are ready to make the rundown active (send it to the MOS Gateway), check the MOS Control Active field, then click Apply or Go. The rundown data and all script files are then sent to the SAMVAD MOS Gateway.

Finally, bring up samvad, If the runorder is not coming check the listening port in cmd prompt or click on view all in open runorder form.

The rundown will appear in the Samvad rundown window:

The rundown content and story text and data is now under the control of the ENPS newsroom software. All changes made in ENPS will be automatically reflected in

SAMVAD. All prompting operations can occur and the program may function normally, although performance will depend on the system’s hardware and general configuration.
