Automation
Overview
Automation is the feature which enables actions to be triggered within WP-IP by the Sony ELC
playout system.
Automation is a MOS based connection.
Automation is a feature included with a WP-IPN licence.
When active the playout system will:
1.
Direct WP-IP to load a specific rundown
2.
Go to a specific story in that rundown
3.
Switch the prompting on at that story
Configuration
To configure Automation, launch the Automation window under the Newsroom Pane
Complete the MOS ID, NCS ID and Port fields.
These are the Settings which Sony ELC will use to connect to WP-IP so they must be the same in ELC
as they are in WP-IP
Please Note: the MOS ID and NCS ID are not related to the settings in your specific NRCS
To enable the Automation connection, check the Active box.
When enabled an Automation button will appear in the status bar
Rundowns will then be automatically loaded from the NRCS and prompting activated
