ENPS 9.3/9.4/9.5 - Elections Guide

Everything you need to know about using the ENPS Elections client.

Overview

The Elections feature of ENPS is used for tracking election results from a combination of both AP wire data and manual entry.

The election results can then be automatically:

• displayed on a serial Character Generator (CG)

• stored in a SQL database, to connect to external applications

Election results can also be dynamically exported as HTML pages for upload to your website.

Elections works with most popular brands of serial or SQL-capable CGs. For serial CG output, results can be automatically looped, which is especially useful for lower-thirds.
