Saving, publishing and exporting Xstudio projects
Publishing assets to output devices
In the Vertigo workflow, assets are centrally stored in the Xmedia Server. Therefore, in order
for a scene to be played out on an output device, you must publish the assets to the device.
You can publish after creating your scene and take it to air immediately, or publish it and
then take to air later.
When you publish, Xstudio’s Publish Progress dialog box keeps track of which assets have
been recently published and the status of the publishing process for each.
There are two (2) ways in which assets can be published to a device:
•
“Manually publishing assets to devices in Xstudio” on page 11-3
• “Automatically publishing assets to devices in Xstudio” on page 11-4
Manually publishing assets to devices in Xstudio
If the project is open and you want to publish to the device that is currently connected to
Xstudio, you simply have to click the Publish icon
on Xstudio’s desktop.
If the project is not open, or if you want to manually publish an asset that is saved on the
Xmedia Server, the following procedure describes how to manually publishing assets using
the Xstudio’s P
UBLISH commands.
To manually publish assets from the XMS to one or several devices:
1.
Optional - Prior to publishing the asset, verify that the devices are available in Xstudio’s
Device Configurator (Tools>Devices>Configure Devices). If not, see
“Connecting
Xstudio to an output device” on page 2-12 for instructions on how to add or activate
devices. If they are present, close the Device Configurator and continue.
2. In Xstudio’s Asset Browser, select the appropriate asset category and navigate to the
asset(s) that are to be published to the device(s).
3. Select the asset(s) you want to publish:
Select one or more assets that you want to publish. It is also possible to select one or
more categories, in which case all assets in the selected category and all sub-
categories are published.
Right click and a context menu will appear.
4. Select either the P UBLISH T O command or the F ORCE P UBLISH T O command.
The Publish command is the most efficient choice, since it only publishes assets which
have not previously been published or have changed since last being published. The
Force Publish command always publishes all specified assets without performing any
checking.
5. Select the device(s) to which the asset(s) will be published from the submenu below
the P
UBLISH T O or F ORCE P UBLISH T O command.
The assets are immediately published to the device(s) and its status appears in the
Publish Progress window.
