We review the target product, version and workflow before confirming compatibility. Additional connectors, workflow changes and integrations can be developed on request.
Live contribution
Bring contributors
into the conversation.
Newsroom Live provides browser rooms for reporters, presenters and guests, with producer controls and separate participant outputs. It is an optional module hosted as part of the agreed newsroom setup.
Join from a link
Guests check their camera and microphone, enter their name and wait for admission. The room brings admitted participants into a shared gallery.
Run the room
The producer manages admission, muting and removal. Participants control their own microphone when unmuting is permitted.
Take individual outputs
Separate output links keep each assigned participant available to the configured production workflow, with their own video and audio.
Go Live in the Reporter app
A live entry point
for authorised reporters.
The app checks the reporter's CMS permission and opens the live destination configured for that account. The link can launch the browser or streaming application used in the agreed workflow.
Newsroom Live provides the browser rooms and producer controls. The reporter link, guest access and production outputs are set up for the chosen workflow.

Before a demo
A few useful details.
What is Karyavan Newsroom Automation?
Karyavan Newsroom Automation is a product family for reporter submissions, CMS review, assignments, rundowns, playout, teleprompting and graphics. Optional Newsroom Live adds browser-based contribution rooms. The application scope, integrations and local network deployment are agreed for each newsroom.
Can we see the product before deciding?
Request a walkthrough and tell us about your newsroom. We can discuss the relevant applications, current product scope and your requirements.
How do the reporter app and CMS fit together?
Reporters submit story details and media through the app. The CMS receives the material for desk review and the assignment handoff. A configured adapter brings the appropriate stories into Operator. We agree the media paths, editorial decisions and any changes needed for your organisation.
How does Go Live work for a reporter?
The app checks the account's Go Live permission with the CMS. An authorised reporter can then open the configured live destination. Newsroom Live rooms and any streaming-tool connection are arranged for the intended contribution workflow.
Can the newsroom and live tools run on our local network?
Yes, the product supports an in-house server and LAN-based setup for CMS, Core and newsroom workstations. Newsroom Live can also be configured for on-site participants, with its media service and trusted HTTPS. Off-site contribution and external services need suitable internet connectivity. The exact offline scope and any licensing requirements are confirmed for your installation.
How does our video editing fit into the workflow?
The video team can use its editing tools and attach the exported package, byte or voice-over parts as final media. The rundown keeps those parts with the story for the production handoff.
Can you connect MOS or graphics tools such as Vizrt?
We can assess a MOS or vendor-specific connection for the exact tool and version you use. The required connector, workflow and testing are scoped for your installation. Other broadcast tools and custom integrations can also be discussed on request.
Can the workflow be customised?
We can discuss the changes your team needs. Customisation is scoped against the product's current architecture and the intended workflow.
How are licensing and support handled?
The product scope, licensing, deployment and support arrangements are confirmed as part of the commercial discussion.
