Manually publishing assets from the Xmedia Server to devices
Using Xplorer, you can manually publish assets from the Xmedia Server to specific devices
in preparation for playout on those devices.
The quickest way to publish an asset from the Xmedia Server to a device is to drag the
asset or its category from the Xplorer’s Asset Gallery and drop it onto the device in the
Device Viewer (figure
4-4 ).
