XML

Similarly, XML (eXtensible Markup Language) files can supply DataLink keys and values. Consider the
example xml file content provided below:

Hello

World

From the entries listed above, the DataLink drop-down will show the following keys with the values listed:

%Key word1% = Hello

%Key Child word2% = World

CSV

F

ILES

Imagine using common spreadsheet functions to manage complex sport statistics, then pushing the results
to a title page with a single keystroke. That’s all possible, thanks to DataLink’s CSV (Comma Separated
Value) file support.

FIGURE 30

For example, simply save changes in the CSV file to TriCaster’s network-shared DataLink Watch Folder, and
DataLink parses the keys and values it contains, then immediately updates the title page, even if it is on
display at the moment.

DataLink parses key-value pairs from neighboring cells on each row as shown in the table below.
