Product Description

The NORTEXT-100 Bureau Modules are designed to handle text from news agencies. One NORTEXT-100 Text system can have several bureau lines connected. The bureau input lines take care of the standard news agency message format defined by the Technical Committee of the International Telecommunication Council (IPTC).

Typography is automatically put on the articles from the news agencies by means of formats. Justification, back-up, printing and typesetting can be done automatically if needed.

The articles from the news agencies are divided into categories such as: sports, features etc. These characteristics are used to put on the right typography. Agency sequence number or next free NORTEXT-articles number may be used when storing the articles. High priority articles from the news agencies are treated in a special way to secure rapid access. Additional agencies may be included upon request.
