Setting Up an Intermission
If there is no content scheduled for a certain period of time, Producer enables you to set an intermission source
which automatically plays an MPEG-2 or WMV file from a Vision
2
archive, a multicast MPEG-2 source such
as a DVB or Live MPEG channel, or a unicast WMV source such as a live WMV channel. Unmanaged
channels are also available for Intermission, as well.
Perform these steps to set up an intermission:
1.
Select Configure Service from the V2Producer Menu on the left pane of the window. The Configure
Producer page appears (FIG. 106).
2.
Click the File or Live Feed option button to indicate whether the intermission source is from a file or a
live feed. After making your selection, do one of the following:

File : Select a file from the menu on the left pane of the window.

Live Feed : Select a live feed from the Live options menu.
3.
Click Apply .
4.
Click the Enable check box in the Intermission section.
5.
Click the Service Enable check box to activate the intermission.
The Name and URL fields populate with the name and path of the intermission source. This source will play if
there is no scheduled content playing on the regular multicast.
Schedule Editing
Producer runs a four week schedule which loops and starts again after the four weeks. To edit the schedule,
select the
Edit Schedule menu option in the service (FIG. 107).
If you disable a live channel while it is being used as the Intermission file, the Live
drop-down menu will not be consistent with the URL, and the Intermission file will not
work.
