Inception Newsroom Computer System

Inception allows your team to create multi-platform content based on their specific user permissions with optional approval workflows and the ability to schedule publishing. Take a traditional broadcast story and reformat it for the web in just a few clicks. Or start by breaking the story on the web and then use that information to start writing the broadcast script. Multiple formats of the story are linked together for easy reference and editing.

Inception can scale to run the world’s most extensive news operations with support for 1,000+ concurrent users and the ability to sync credentials and permissions using active directory. The Enterprise edition features robust redundancy using a database cluster and can be installed in a virtualized environment or private cloud. Monitor the system using Inception’s System Health Monitor and tie it into your existing SNMP alerts.

Newsrooms are fast-paced environments where multiple people collaborate on stories. Keeping track of changes between versions can be challenging. With story revisions, you can compare two versions of a story side by side, with edits clearly highlighted in red and green. This makes it easy to see what’s been added, removed, or modified, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in your newsroom.

Track ideas, events and assignments using Inception’s innovative Assignment Manager—filter content by topic, keywords, date or user. Organize research materials, including documents and media, assign users and generate email notifications as the assignment progresses. Organize content creation with the option to start writing directly from the assignment itself, then drag and drop content into the rundown or publish immediately to the web.

Easily browse content on other connected Inception systems and copy it into your local system using simple drag-and-drop. Horizon is installed at one of the connected facilities running Inception and manages communication and user permissions between each system. Users are able to browse and share broadcast, social and Web stories in addition to rundowns, assignments and contacts. Inception supports MOS redirection, which means for certain devices, graphics and video can be reused when a story is copied locally.

Designed for journalists and on-the-go content creators, Inception Mobile provides secure remote access to keep teams connected and contributing from anywhere. Inception’s browser-based user interface has always provided flexible device support, but an app specifically designed for mobile devices brings an intuitive interface focused on the handheld experience. Check assignments to see locations, times, contact information, notes and more. Create and edit scripts from the scene of the story. Message other users to stay in sync as the story develops. Available for iOS and Android, Inception Mobile makes remote contribution easier and more efficient.
