Configuring status translations for iNEWS

To ensure correct status reporting between Aurora Playout and iNEWS server, you need to edit the
status translation table in the iNEWS configuration file.

The status translation table within the mosconfig.xml file should appear as below:


NOT READY
CUEING
READY
STAND BY
PLAY
STOPPED
END
DISCONNECTED

On the iNEWS server, your MCS dictionary (located at /site/dict/mcs) would typically contain
these lines:

A_EVERR /5ERROR
A_CAFRZ /END
A_CATREL /2STANDBY
A_CATHRD /THREAD
A_CACUING /2CUEING
A_CACUED /2CUED
A_CANOTAPE /4NOT READY
A_CABIN /READY
A_CAPLAY /3PLAY
A_CAPAUSE /3STOPPED
A_CAREW /REWIND
A_CAEJECT /EJECT
A_CAINCMPLT /TRANSFER

NOTE: Since the statuses that appear in this dictionary can be customized, the values shown
in the right column of your MCS dictionary may vary slightly from the ones shown here.

To ensure correct configuration with iNEWS, a sample of the mosconfig.xml file is provided in the
appendix section.
