MULTIVIEWER UPDATE Lawo has announced update 4.4 of its innovative theWall multiviewer control software, which has new features that it claims provide an unparalleled multiviewer layout workflow experience. With the new updates, operators can now switch to live editing mode by activating the live edit switch and, from that moment, any changes are applied to the selected monitor. When not in live editing mode, changes can be applied to the selected monitor at any time by pressing the ‘publish’ button. Also in the update comes a new snap grid option, which helps object alignment during the layout creation process. You can activate the snap grid by clicking on the checkbox on the bottom of the screen and the size of the grid can be freely selected by dragging the slider next to the checkbox. Layout names are now displayed beneath each layout and can be edited by double clicking on the name. After typing in the desired name, simply click anywhere else in the screen or hit tab on your keyboard to exit editing mode.

BUSY BEES Audience engagement specialist Never.no has announced the latest release of Bee-On, a cloud-based social and content management platform. With this release, producers have access to an upgraded scalable personal response engine, advanced historic twitter search and a trend tracker. News, entertainment, factual and chat shows can now use historic Twitter searches and trends to search for, track and report live Twitter conversations. Bee-On’s social moderation engine shows seven-day historical keyword searches, with both reactions and engagements from conversations, that can be published straight into programming – showing word clouds, hot topics and latest trends on a big screen in the studio, or overlaid and integrated into broadcast-standard graphics. Using keywords, hashtags and mentions via social platforms, producers can gather images, videos and comments relevant to an event or programme and moderate them, before queuing them up on a cloud timeline, ready to publish directly into live or pre-recorded content. Voting and polling tools natively aggregate and filter key words and interactions into manageable data lists to quickly publish and deliver audience opinion results at any point, in real time.
