Understanding and Using the PVTV Rundown Converter
AvStar News and the Rundown Converter
AvStar news commands and parameters are stored as field values in AvStar forms.
The system administrator must configure the AvStar system before this field will appear on any
AvStar form.
TME
A writer or director embeds news commands in stories by entering the news command name in the
tme field or column for the associated story. Multiple news commands can be embedded into a story
by comma-delimiting the news commands:
VO/SOT,SOT,OTS etc...
Timecode
The order of the commands is maintained throughout processing by PVTV. Timecodes are entered in
the Timecode field and are also comma-delimited. Multiple TMEs can be supported by separating the
timecodes with the "Vertical Bar" '|':
00:15:15.00|00:18:13.00,00:01:03.02|00:15:14.00 etc...
This example shows that
00:15:15.00 is the first timecode parameter for the first
TME. The 00:18:13.00 and 00:01:03.02 are the first and second parameters for
the second TME. The 00:15:14.00 is the first parameter for the third TME.
StillStore
StillStore page numbers are entered in the StillStore field and are also comma-delimited. Multiple
TMEs can be supported by separating the StillStore page numbers with the "Vertical Bar" '|':
1000|1001,1002|1003 etc...
This example shows that 1000 is the first StillStore parameter for the first TME.
The 1001 and 1002 are the first and second parameters for the second TME. The
1003 is the first parameter for the third TME.
