Installing and integrating Xnews into your NCS System
Enabling Embedded Pages or Shared Pages mode
By default, Xnews is configured to run in E MBEDDED P AGES MODE , which only allows you to
create embedded pages. This configuration is preferred in most cases since pages are
usually created for a specific story or rundown and then they are no longer needed (see
page 4-5 for more information about embedded pages). If your intention is to create
embedded pages, then you do not have to edit the EnableEmbeddedPages setting in the
xnews.ini
file.
N OTE
The Enable Private Pages setting in the xnews.ini file supersedes the Enable Embedded
Pages setting. As such, to create embedded pages you must ensure that the Enable Private
Pages setting is either not present in the xnews.ini file, or that
EnablePrivatePages=false
.
If however, you want to save and re-use the same page(s) in several rundowns, then you
must configure Xnews for S
HARED P AGES MODE . In Shared Pages mode, pages are created
and then saved on the Xmedia Server as a Page asset. This type of page is often referred
to as a shared page because it can be used by multiple stories and/or rundowns (see
page
4-5 for more information about embedded pages).
The following procedures describes how to configure Xnews to run in shared page mode,
as well as how to revert Xnews back to Embedded Pages mode.
To configure Xnews to run in Shared Page mode:
1.
Ensure that Xnews is closed on the NCS workstation.
2. Open the Xnews.ini file by navigating to the following folder and opening the
xnews.ini
file:
C:\ProgramData\VertigoXmedia\Settings
3. In the [Preferences] section, set EnableEmbeddedPages= to False.
This setting allows you to save the page as a shared page (an asset) on the Xmedia
Server.
4. Set the [Quiet Mode]parameter:
• If you want to specify a name and category for the page, set the
UseQuietMode2=
to False. This allows the S AVE P AGE window to appear
when you attempt to save the page.
Or,
• If you want the shared page’s name and category assignment to be identical
in the Pages category to how it was in the Templates root category, set the
UseQuietMode2=
to True.
5. Save and close the xnews.ini file.
To revert Xnews back to embedded mode:
1.
Ensure that Xnews is closed on the NCS workstation.
2. Open the Xnews.ini file by navigating to the following folder and opening the
xnews.ini
file:
