Still Store Image Manager

New with Kalypso V15.0, Still Store uses the Image Manager to define and
control the environment in which the Still Store operates and coordinates
image files and images (see Still Store Image Manager

on page 265

for more

information). Cache, Image Servers, and hard drives all serve to create the
Image Manager environment.

The Image Manager allows the operator to create folders of images that can
be shared by various shows. For example one directory could be created to
hold the station’s logos and clips and each show could have its own direc-
tory to hold common show logos and clips. Finally, the working directory
can be used to hold the images for a specific instance of the show (such as
a different directory for each day the show is broadcast).

The current state of the Image Manager is saved in the NVRAM (same
content as the ENV file) and will be restored after a reboot. This state
includes an image whether or not it was in cache. This allows the operator
to reload the cache to its prior state before the reboot.

Working Directory

When a new working directory is selected, the system loads the images in
that directory into the Image Manager scrolling list (see Still Store Image
Manager

on page 265

for more information).
