Showmaker is a lightweight, efficient MOS rundown creation tool that does not require a newsroom system.

This version provides all features needed to quickly create and control a Viz Mosart show.

Typical Usage

  • Produce shows without the need of a newsroom system.

  • Produce Viz Mosart automated shows, without the existing newsroom system providing the rundown.

  • Provide an independent backup for the newsroom system.

    • Ability to get on air quickly.

    • The beginning of a project.

    • The automation is prepared in advance, not requiring any newsroom system.

    • Where a newsroom system is used, the automation is prepared in advance of the newsroom system.

    • Where skeleton staff (for example, in the middle of the night) need to get breaking news on air.

Showmaker is not intended as a replacement for a newsroom system. Showmaker offers a self contained, quick and easy way of building a rundown.

Additional Features

  • Works with Viz Flowics (html graphics) and Viz Pilot edge graphics plugins.

  • Modern, web-based architecture.

  • Support for MOS 4.
