Reinitializing media monitor of SDB Server

To refresh rundowns, reinitialize media server connections and update database records,
you can select the option to Reinitialize Media Monitor.

This is an option for you to manually execute the refresh function, even though SDB
Server would be automatically updated each time there is a new change to your
rundown.

1. Click

SDB Server

on the taskbar of your desktop to display the window.

2. Select

Tools | Reinitialize Media Monitor or press F5 for the shortcut button.

Repopulating rundown items from SDB Server

The option to repopulate rundown items is useful if you were to accidentally delete
placeholders in Housekeeper for an active rundown. You can repopulate those
placeholders by selecting this option within SDB Server.

However, this option only repopulate empty placeholders and you still need to associate
clips to those placeholders before the rundown is ready for playback.

In the case of a complete loss or corruption of the SDB database, repopulate could be
used to rebuild the database by importing placeholders from all MOS active rundowns.
