Setting embargo status to stories in iNEWS

Prerequisites:

•

The GPIO connection is configured between the Aurora Playout client, switcher, and streaming
encoder.

•

The General Purpose Output is configured for the Embargo status in the

Tools | Options | GPIO

Configuration

of the Aurora Playout application.

•

The

Embargo

column is configured in the iNEWS application.

Embargo status can be set to specific stories in iNEWS to prevent automatic broadcast via the
internet. This is due to restrictions from news providers that some media contents are only for
televised broadcasts.

1. Create a new story in iNEWS.

2. Drag a ready placeholder from the Assignment List of the GV STRATUS panel to the Story

Form window.

3. Select the checkbox in the

Embargo

column for the story.

4. Click on a different line in the Queue Panel to save your changes.

When the clip is cued in the Aurora Playout channel, the

Embargo

status is sampled. Then, the

embargo GPO is set to high when the clip is played.

After the

Embargo

GPO is triggered, the streaming encoder prevents the clip's broadcast via the

internet. All other contents without the

Embargo

status are automatically uploaded to the news

station's website.
