LineupNX v2 Update

No failure to communicate

A new internal communications engine prepares LineupNX for conversations with other programs and devices on the network

Version 2 of LineupNX will incorporate both TCP/IP and UDP communications protocols to exchange messages among the various logged-in workstations on the network. Not only will this improve the overall performance of LineupNX in large installations with many simultaneous users, but it will permit LineupNX to integrate with other similarly-enabled computer programs and devices on the same network.

We are not there yet but have started testing. Our original goal was to improve automatic workstation updating when the Desk makes rundown changes, but we soon realized that the same techniques could extend beyond LineupNX in a single newsroom. We see the possibility of enabling computers in different geographic locations to run LineupNX and work on the same rundown simultaneously using the Internet to connect them.
