The CG application
Save changes in a new CG template
In this procedure, you create a new CG template – after either making changes to an existing
CG template or designing a new CG template.
1.
Click Save As to display the CG Save As dialog.
2. Do the following to create a new CG template.
• In the Media Watcher box, select a Media Watcher. If there is more than one Media
Watcher in your system, you may need to ask your system administrator which one to
use.
• In the Name box, enter a name for the CG template.
• Click OK.
The CG application saves the new CG template as a file with a ".cap" filename extension.
Export a CG template as a graphic
1. After creating your CG, click Export Graphic to display the standard Windows Save As
dialog.
2. Select a folder; enter a name for the graphic in the File name box; click Save.
The CG application saves the CG template as a graphics file with a ".png" filename
extension.
Load an animated logo
When the CG application is in the template operating mode, you can import an animated logo
from the Media Store and add it to a CG. The logo may be in one of two Grass Valley formats:
SPG or VAF. The logo sequence must have been ingested onto the Media Store from a TZip file.
A CG with an animated logo must also contain at least one text layer. If no text is to be
displayed with the animated logo, simply create a text block and enter a blank space (press the
space bar).
1.
Click Set Animated Background.
The CG application opens PinPoint, the iTX search tool.
2. Use PinPoint to select an animated logo. More details , page 179.
iTX displays the file name below the Set Animated Background button.
Note:
• The CG application does not display the animated logo in the workspace.
• You may clear the background by clicking C next to the Set Animated Background button.
• iTX caches animated logos before playing them out.
