ENPS appoints Inala as distributor for Africa Inala Broadcast has been appointed as an authorised distributor for ENPS, AP’s Electronic News Production System, across the whole of Southern Africa. Based in Johannesburg, Inala Broadcast will represent ENPS in 13 countries - South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Angola, Namibia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Swaziland, Malawi, Mauritius, Seychelles and Nigeria. E NPS has a long-standing relationship with Inala Broadcast who provides integrated solutions to the broadcast and professional television and video markets. These include on-air and live events, news broadcasting, audio/video routing and networking, media management, virtual studios and digital effects solutions. Inala has a very strong track record in representing some of ENPS’ key broadcast partners in South Africa, including Omneon, Grass Valley and Miranda, and has sold into some of the biggest broadcasters in the region, including the SABC. Inala has also won the turnkey system integration project for CNBC Africa who will be using ENPS. The Associated Press AP developed ENPS in 1997 for the BBC’s global broadcasting operation. Ten years on, ENPS is used in 40% of the world's newsrooms by more than 40 thousand reporters, writers, editors and producers in more than 500 newsrooms in 48 countries. Speaking about the new partnership, Colin Wainer, managing director of Inala Broadcast commented: “ENPS has the tools to help journalists and the broadcasters to efficiently broadcast news. We are very proud to be associated with ENPS who are highly regarded in the world of news broadcasting.” Colin’s enthusiasm is reflected in feedback from Eric Bowman, AP’s Director of International Business Development, Newsroom Systems. “Inala Broadcast is very well respected within the professional broadcast community in South Africa, and we are delighted to be joining forces with them,” he said. “We are looking forward to working together to introduce ENPS to broadcasters all over the southern African region.” Helping coordinate broadcast production in more than 500 newsrooms in 48 countries, ENPS was designed to meet rapidly evolving needs in modern television, radio and network environments. Powerful, easy-to-use features include the industry's only fullyintegrated search engine, scripting, programme line-ups, planning, contacts, messaging, news wire management, thirdparty device control, and off-line and remote access capabilities for field staff. ENPS also supports the AP-inspired MOS Media Object Server protocol, the industry standard for integration of media servers and editors, character generators, still store devices, and a variety of news production equipment and systems.
