are:

Still Image - still graphic image

Animation - animation sequence clips

Audio Voice Over - audio clips

Text Crawl - text crawl described by a text format template

CG Text - auto-update text display

remainder of the input configuration

Levels

This selection defines the video and audio levels that are associated with
the branding element. This list will be grayed out for every source but
Audio Voice over. When the Audio Voice over option is selected, a param-
eter drop-down checklist with all possible audio levels is available.

Update Mode

Select the update Mode. The choices are Manual or Automatic. Two general
types of branding element configurations are supported:

Manual

Branding elements that are defined as manual are updated whenever a
configuration is loaded that contains those branding elements or when the

Show Contents

button is clicked in the Deployment Center.

Automatic

Branding elements that are defined as “automatic” are monitored automat-
ically in the Content Gateway and anytime the file is changed, it is automat-
ically ingested, converted to the proper format and deployed with no
manual intervention required.

Template

Assigns a template to the element if a template is applicable. Selecting the
graphic in the field will launch the Template editing screen. See Template
for more information.
