Maestro News is a universal controller that lets you create and manage template-based, on-air 3D graphics. A Maestro user works with a data entry template (page), which is linked to a 3D graphic scene created in Maestro Designer. A graphic artist creates exports that are customized by adding controls to a template in the Maestro News PageEditor. These controls allow journalists to edit the graphic’s content during a broadcast.

The Maestro user can add graphics, media, and text to the template, update these data elements in real time, preview the graphic for broadcast, and send it to air. The integration of Maestro News with MediaCentral Cloud UX allows you to edit graphic templates through the Graphics tab of the Asset Editor, and add it to the MediaCentral Newsroom Management story and related sequence. The MediaCentral Newsroom Management rundown appears in the Maestro News controller and can be played to air.
