NewsGate Mobile

Wouldn’t it be great if your reporters in the field could upload their content directly to the broadcast station, without using any cables or computers?
Well, It´s possible!
With a special SmartPhone Add-On module reporters can now use their SmartPhone to record news and instantly transfer the AV material via the central NewsGate system to the stations content archive.

The answer to how it works is simple: easy and extremely fast! The reporter in the field shoots a picture or records an audio/video item. He opens the special NewsGate Applet on his Smartphone and after filling in the customized upload form and - if desired - adding some notes, he uploads the item to the central broadcast station without delay. The upload form is configurable and can be user group specific. No cables, no cards, just send it through the air!

NewsGate
The NewsGate Mobile module is available to any existing NewsGate user or of course those wishing to become one. Arbor Media designed the first Smartphone applet for the Nokia N95/N97 Smartphone, but other popular brands will follow soon.

Crowd gathering
Why not let ‘the crowd’ gather the news for you? Allow your listeners/viewers to upload pictures, movies, audio recordings from newsworthy happenings to a public NewsGate server: the included GPS coordinates are a great help for you, to – more or less automatically – determine and monitor the practical value of any uploaded item. The technology is here!

GPS information
Arbor Media created the possibility to include GPS coordinates automatically within the metadata. This may open up new usage possibilities. The coordinates reveal the exact location of the capturing of the material and can be archived together with the material. With automated lookup mechanisms, it is possible to translate the GPS coordinates into Country, Region, City information or even more detailed.
