Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 283)

Using iTX Desktop layouts for system administration
The OPUS 2 Service can generate a name containing text entered by an operator when the
name is generated. A situation where this is useful is where a series of clips are created from
the same source media. The name of each clip contains a common generic part, indicating the
source; it also contains a short text segment that the operator enters to distinguish one clip
from another. The rule for this type of name includes a Parameter Input element.
Examples: Opening Ceremony - Procession; Opening Ceremony - Guests
In these names, “Opening Ceremony - ” is fixed text, while “Procession” and “Guests”
are entered by the operator who creates the clips.
