10 The Channel Composer Ticker Object how to
Use this object to update a Channel Composer Ticker.
The ticker data flow is defined in RTic: the data source, processing and data grabbing.
Ticker templates (to place the ticker on-screen, set and clear ticker stories) are defined in Channel
Composer.
10.1 Workflow
In RTic, the steps for defining a Ticker are:
• Add a System object.
• Add a Ticker Target object.
This object specifies the ticker’s playout Channel, ticker number and the story mode (for example:
a triple part story ticker with a TGA).
• Link the Ticker to the System object. This object specifies the playout system.
• Add and link a Source object to the Ticker.
Ticker stories will be grabbed from this object.
• If applicable, add Process objects to process the data grabbed from the Source.
• Link an Event to the Ticker to control data grabbing.
The steps for defining a Ticker in Channel Composer are:
• Create a Template to place the Ticker on-screen.
• Create a Template to set ticker stories.
• Create a Template to clear ticker stories.
Example Templates for tickers can be found in Channel Composer under File > Example Projects >
RTic Ticker.
The Channel Composer User Manual explains how to create tickers in Channel Composer.
