Media Selector

In Production mode, selecting the Media Selector object opens the
Browse Media Window, which allows you to browse and load Images,
Animations, Scenes and Generic assets that reside on the specified
playout devices or select a L

OAD

L

IVE

to select an external fill and key for

the selected keyer.

Once selected, the media is loaded onto the specified keyer. If the keyer
is up, then the media is immediately taken to air. If the keyer is down, you
must use another object, like the F

ADE

DSK

BUTTON

, or actions triggered

by the O

N

L

OAD

event to take it to air.

When adding a Media Selector object, we suggest that you also add a

K

I

MAGE

T

HUMBNAIL

object to display a proxy image of the asset that

is loaded by the Media Selector when in Production mode.
When browsing devices that have a lot of media, enter a string in the
Search Filter and only media containing that string is displayed.

Quick Media Selector

In Production mode, selecting the Quick Media Selector’s B

ROWSE

opens the Browse Media Window, which allows you to browse and load
Images, Animations, Scenes and Generic assets that reside on the
specified playout devices or select a L

L

IVE

to select an external fill

and key for the selected keyer.

Unlike the

Media Selector

object, the Quick Media Selector provides an

area for displaying the currently selected asset. Note that the object’s LED
is dark, which indicates that the asset has not yet been loaded to the
device(s). To load the asset, click the proxy image area of the object. The
LED changes color and the asset is loaded. If the keyer is up, then the
media is immediately taken to air. If the keyer is down, you must use
another object, like the F

ADE

DSK

BUTTON

, or actions triggered by the O

N

L

event to take it to air.

When browsing devices that have a lot of media, enter a string in the
Search Filter and only media containing that string is displayed.
