2 About this document
This document describes the standard Cobalt XML Schedule Importer version 1.28. Note that custom XML
Importers can be developed on request.
3 Introduction
The Schedule Importer imports XML schedule files into Cobalt POC (Playout Control). Use the Schedule
Importer to:
• Import Schedules. After import, Schedules are available for further editing or for playout in POC.
• Import Schedules and create or update assets (asset info).
o If an asset (InternalID) referenced in a Schedule does not exist in the TX/MAM database, a
new asset is created in the TX/MAM database, using the Asset information from the
Schedule.
o If an asset already exists, asset info can be updated with the Asset info from the Schedule
if this option is enabled as described in chapter 6.
Asset info is stored in the TX/MAM database (empty Assets). Asset files can then be ingested and are
linked to the asset info in TX/MAM, based on the asset’s InternalID field.
