The Moment That Matters

The story may be ready. Production often isn't.

Once a story is written, production teams still have to search for assets, identify the right visuals, prepare graphics and translate editorial intent into production instructions. The work is repetitive, fragmented across systems and often happens under intense deadline pressure.

HighField | Cast connects the story directly to production.

HighField | Cast understands the story, identifies the production elements it needs and orchestrates the workflow across the systems already used by the newsroom. Instead of starting production from scratch, teams begin with a production-ready foundation they can review, refine and approve.

The Workflow

Embedded into your news production workflow

HighField | Cast is embedded directly into the news production workflow and the newsroom systems your teams already use. From the moment the journalist begins writing the story, HighField | Cast supports the creation, review, and delivery of production-ready content - without requiring a separate graphics workflow.

01 · Enter

The story enters HighField | Cast

The journalist writes in the newsroom system they already use - no separate tool, no re-keying, no change to how the story is filed.

02 · Understand

HighField | Cast understands the story and its production requirements

It reads the content and context of the story as it is written, and determines which production elements the story calls for.

03 · Identify

HighField | Cast identifies relevant assets from approved and authorized sources

Images, video, and data are drawn from the media and data sources your organization has approved and is licensed to use.

04 · Prepare

HighField | Cast prepares the required graphics and production elements using approved templates and workflows

Content is fitted into the predefined structure of your approved templates - text, headlines, quotes, images, and data - following existing branding and production rules.

05 · ApproveThe gate

The journalist or producer reviews, edits and approves the result

Everything is presented inside the existing news production workflow, where it can be reviewed, modified, approved, or rejected.

06 · Deliver

Approved content moves into the existing production workflow

Once approved, the corresponding MOS item can be added directly to the rundown - reducing re-keying, unnecessary handoffs, and version inconsistencies.
