The fourth right-click option on the clip board is
ADD VIDEO IN
. Media POD features live
Composite or Y/C video inputs. These inputs can be used as PiP windows on other pages or as
stand alone live video pages. Just as with HTML, constant thumbnail images are not always
available, so creating a generic virtual thumbnail is required. Click ADD VIDEO IN
Select Composite or S-Video and click OK. The virtual
thumbnail is created and is now available in the clip board for
use in timelines.
The fifth element in clip board importation is LOAD BACKEND INVENTORY. When you
click this option, the GUI will load up the last retrieved inventory list from a player. Each time
you connect to a player to send pages and schedules, the software will retrieve a list of available
media loaded onto the player. You can also retrieve these lists manually through the
communications window which we’ll cover shortly. When you select Load Backend Inventory,
all media from that inventory list will be loaded into the clip board. This is a very efficient
means to manage content that is already on the player. If a piece of content media exists on the
player, but doesn’t exist on your local computer, instead of an actual thumbnail in the clipboard
you will see a file type place holder. Thumbnails can only be created for media that accessed by
the local machine (your PC).
When loading a BACKEND INVENTORY, the STOP LOADING right-click option on the clip
board becomes available. This is used as it says, to halt loading operations.
Also, when the clip board is populated with at least one item, the last right-click option becomes
available…CLEAR CLIPBOARD—use to remove all clipboard contents.
