basically assets that allow you to create and control the playout of
broadcast graphics using a combined project containing a scene-side
and a control-side.

The scene-side (Scene) contains objects that create the look and
content of the broadcast graphic that is to be played on air.
• The control-side (Template or Panel) contains objects that are used
to control the playout of the scene objects, including the editing of
editable content.
