Testing and Troubleshooting the Playout
Adding a primary event to the playlist
Asset URI Type the URI for the media file using one of the following protocols:
HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, local, or SMB, or click
Find to select a file.
Note: The card attempts to authenticate with the credentials specified in
Channel Configuration > Media Locations. For more information, see
Defining media locations and credentials on page 8.
To select a file:
1 Click the Find button.
2 In the Search for field, choose Asset to view the media events
downloaded from GV STRATUS Playout that are still present in
the cache or File to view the media events stored on the card.
3 In the Filter field, type part of the media file that you are
searching for to display only the files containing those characters
in their filename.
4 Select the media event.
5 Click Choose.
In Transition Select the type of scene change affect to apply to the beginning of this
event. You have the following choices:
• Cut : the event switches from one event to another instantly
• Mix : creates a cross-fade between the two events where the
outgoing event merges and replaces the outgoing event
• Cut and Fade : the outgoing event switches to black and the
incoming event fades in.
• Fade and Cut : the outgoing event fades to black and the incoming
event appears instantly.
• Fade and Fade : the outgoing event fades to black and the
incoming event fades in (V-Fade).
Note: Since two stills cannot play at the same time, you cannot use
Mix as a transition between two stills in the playlist.
Transition
Duration Type the total amount of time allocated for the transition to complete.
Note: Illegal drop-frame timecodes are automatically rounded up to the
nearest drop-frame timecode value; for example, 00:01:00;00 would be
round up to 00:01:00;02.
Title Type the title of the event. This title is displayed in the channel grid on
the Playlist page and in other connected services such as iControl.
Primary Media Define the media file being added to the playlist.
Standby
Media Define the backup media file in case the file defined on the Primary
media tab fails. The standby media file will replace the primary media file
on air if the primary media file is not present or is not fully cached unless
it is in the AS-03 file format. Media files in the AS-03 file format can play
out while caching.
