Vertigo Suite v.4.6 Release Notes (GA) 5-5
Performing Quality Control (QC) and Media Check (MC)
Associate channels to devices in Xbuilder’s Device Manager
Xbuilder’s Device Manager associates device channel names to actual physical devices
(figure
5-4 ). Xbuilder uses this association when previewing and performing media check
of the asset on a device.
When performing quality control tasks (validation), only the P REVIEW device is required to
be assigned to the local software CG in the Device Manager. However, when performing
media checks, the number of devices that can be associated is the Preview device plus the
number of devices identified in the N
UMBER OF V ERIFY D EVICES setting.
The channel names in the Device Manager’s N AME column (figure 5-4 ) are what you will
enter in the Make List / Air List file’s T ARGET C HANNEL column (see page 5-9 ). When
Xbuilder performs a media check, it uses the data (channel names) in the T ARGET C HANNEL
column to determine on which devices to look for published assets.
