10.10 Simulcast
For simulcast broadcasts, two instances of each Template are created: one is played out on the HD-
channel, the other one is played out on the SD-channel. The playout Channel is defined in the Format,
using the Template’s Opt-Out option setting.
The example below shows a Play Clip Format. The Clip and Logo Templates have been created for SD
and HD. The HD-Templates are played out on Channel main, HD in this example. The SD-Templates are
played out on Channel 1, SD in this example. The playout Channel is specified in the Format, with the
Opt-Out option. Note that you do not create separate Formats for HD and SD, but only add both the HD
and SD Templates per Format.
For an example of a Simulcast project, see File > Example Projects: Simulcast.
Example Format that plays out two instances of a Template; to Channel Main (HD) and Channel 1 (SD),
as defined with the Opt-Out option.
In Cobalt, you only have to schedule one Channel. Formats will be played out on the 2 Channels defined
in the Templates (in the example above main and 1). HD and SD-settings are defined on the K2 Edge, via
the IP Manager.
