News production support system and news production support manner

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently generate an item configuration table and a program item table in news production. SOLUTION: A program configuration window 40, a material collection item window 50 and a configuration pattern window 60 are displayed simultaneously. A plurality of configuration patterns are registered in advance in the window 60. In the case of generating a new item, at first a material collection item is selected and then secondly a proper configuration pattern is selected from the display menu of this window 60. When the proper pattern is not registered, a pattern close to the proper pattern is selected and it is properly corrected. Thirdly, the program configuration table is generated by designating an insertion position of the new item to the program configuration table 41. Since the program configuration table has both the program item table and the item configuration table, a table equivalent to a cue sheet is generated by the three steps above.
