Optional features
When the playout order of multiple clips is important, you should use the second method and
arrange the events in the edit channel in the required order. This means you do not then have
to re-arrange the events in the playout channel after they are created.
You may change the in- and out-points of the first clip in the Live Video Inserter, before
creating an event with it in the playout channel.
The Live Video Inserter clears any events that are in the playout channel before adding new
ones.
If the Output Server you are going to use for playout has a live feed connected directly to it, you
can use this to play out a live event (instead of video-clip events). For this to work, there must
be a live asset in your system with the name “LIVE”.
Using the Live Video Inserter on the Line Playback layout
A number of standard layouts contain the Live Video Inserter. Below, we describe how to use
the component on the Line Playback layout, where it is set up to load clips from both PinPoint
and an edit channel. The layout has two schedule grids with separate Channel Selectors; these
allow you to select channels from a particular channel view. For the upper Schedule Grid, you
select an edit channel; for the lower one, a playout channel.
Select edit and playout channels on the Line Playback layout
1.
Select a channel view in the View box.
2.
Select an edit channel in the upper Channel box. Check that both the upper Schedule Grid
and the Live Video Inserter display the channel name.
3.
Select a playout channel in the lower Channel box. Check that both the lower Schedule
Grid and the Live Video Inserter display the channel name.
Load video clips in the Live Video Inserter from PinPoint
1.
On the Live Video Inserter, click Load to open PinPoint.
2.
Use PinPoint to select one or more video clips.
The Live Video Inserter loads the clips when you close PinPoint.
The Load box shows either the clip name (if there is only one loaded) or the total number
of loaded clips (when there is more than one).
The preview window shows the details of the first loaded clip. You may load and play the
clip in the preview window and modify its in- and out-points.
Load video clips in the Live Video Inserter from an edit channel
1.
Use the layout scheduling features (Content Selector, Event Editor and Schedule Manager)
to add events to the edit channel that the upper Schedule Grid is connected to. The events
should feature the video clips you want to play out.
2.
Select one or more video-clip events in the upper Schedule Grid.
