monitors

also permitted to start monitor servers.

Monitor duration or quit time. A duration will automatically switch off the monitor server after
the allotted time is achieved. For instance, D200 signifies the duration set to two hours, and no
minutes. (This setting is not case sensitive.) A quit time, such as
2100
, will automatically switch
off the monitor server at the specified time, ensuring the integrity of the system. The quit time
can be three to four digits, specifying an exact time on the 24-hour clock. When configured, this
information appears in the Newsroom Mgmt. user interface at the bottom of the Monitor dialog
box.

Because monitor servers use large amounts of system resources,
Avid
recommends this setting be
configured but, for best results, manually turn off monitor servers at the end of each show.

Primary server’s name, such as

placeholder.
Below the third line are device settings for channel groups in MediaCentral Command.
Each line associated with a device begins with:
•
Type of device, such as
CG
or
video
.
•
Name of device’s channel group, such as
CG1
or
AB
. Channel group names are case sensitive.
•
Alias for channel group. If none are used, hyphens can act as placeholders.
•
For character generators, the next information in the line is the default channel, such as
1
, which
is assigned to an event when the user does not enter a channel in the story, followed by the style,
such as
6pm
.
•
For video devices, the next information in the line is the default channel, such as
A
, which is
assigned to a clip when a user does not enter a channel in the story.
Any comments can be added to the end of the lines following a semicolon.
