The Content Selector
Editing a schedule by dragging and dropping assets from the Content
Selector
Creating schedule events
You use the Content Selector to create events in a schedule one at a time.
To create a schedule event, you select an asset in the Content Selector; you then drag and drop
the asset onto either the Schedule Grid or the Timeline Display:
iTX enters the new event in the Schedule Grid; it displays a block to represent the event on the
Timeline Display.
Primary and secondary events
The drag-and-drop process may create either a primary event or a secondary event. A primary
event plays in sequence with other primary events; a secondary event generally plays at the
same time as a primary event, with which it is associated. During playout, iTX displays the
media in a secondary event over the top of the media in a primary event. The secondary-event
media is sometimes called an overlay.
Primary events usually feature video clips or still images. Secondary events usually feature CGs,
logos or voiceovers.
