Precis^TM is the non-proprietary news production solution that manages all the complex elements of news production from acquisition to air. By streamlining the entire process, Precis saves money by saving time-your most valuable resource. This end-to-end, scaleable, digital system transforms the news workflow.

The all-new Precis 4 interface combines enhanced functionality with ease of use. Precis now integrates even more seamlessly with all components of your newsroom to manage ingest, encoding, editing and playout. Choose your editing software, choose your camera; Precis is compatible with all popular brands and file formats without transcoding.

The 4-channel playout features simultaneous SD and HD playout with 8 configurable channels plus user access privileges. The new interface gives you multiple ways to assign and configure channels. Use the clip store to play content that's not in a rundown or use any channel as a hot backup. All assets in the system have a unique MOS I.D., making it easy to mix and match video attachments with stories inside our NCS. Any changes to the rundown or playout status are automatically updated in the NCS and reflected in the Precis playout interface. A special Hot Folder feature makes it quick and easy to get your station's raw content to air first.

Precis redefines the digital workflow with prime-time performance proven under the extreme pressures of large markets, the custom requirements of independents and those transitioning to HD format. Precis is non-proprietary, so it plays well with others, bridging technology gaps through open architecture and a browser-based interface. Over 100 television stations have already improved their productivity with Bitcentral's "No Barriers" approach to news management.
