Xbuilder User Manual

Creating, editing and previewing pages and/or scenes

Shared pages are the preferred type of page as they are created directly from an
existing template and they are saved to the Xmedia Server as distinct assets. Shared
pages can be used in many different playlists as a common item.

Embedded pages are most often created from another existing page. Unlike shared
pages, embedded pages only exist within a playlist, and it is the playlist that is saved
as a whole to the Xmedia Server. As a result, the individual page does not exist
anywhere else, not even in the P

AGES

root category of the Asset Browser. Embedded

page can be reused outside of its playlist if its playlist is inserted or appended to
another playlist, or if the page converted into a shared page using the S

command. See

page 6-7

for instructions on creating and adding embedded

pages to a playlist.

The following sections provide instructions for using Xbuilder to create and populate
graphics pages and scenes, either individually from a template/scene or as a batch using a
Merge List file:

“Creating an individual shared page from a template” on page 3-3
