Loading a Show to the MOS Gateway
When your newsroom staff builds a show, they insert special keywords into
scripts, referred to as machine control events. These items include at least a
word to identify the specific machine or a machine type, such as CG or SS,
and some information to indicate that they want that machine to display. If
the machine is a MOS device, these machine control events are created
using the ActiveX control that came with the MOS device.
Monitor Mode - ON
When the monitor server is turned on—usually by the producer, from the
iNEWS Workstation´s Tool menu—it will read all the machine control
events in the rundown and build
playlists , also known as event lists , for
each device. The monitor server performs as much error checking as it can
without communicating with any broadcast equipment.
After the monitor server is turned on, it continues to monitor the rundown,
examining every story saved for new, deleted, or updated events in the
playlist.
MOS Gateway is not yet involved. Playlists can be printed and distributed
to equipment operators. The devices can be controlled using traditional
methods.
