Adding MOS Devices to the SYSTEM.MOS-MAP Story
95
The
MOS_CHAN
string should be changed to a channel name for the MOS
device.
Adding MOS Devices to the SYSTEM.MOS-MAP Story
The iNEWS system must associate the MOS ID of a MOS device with an
iNEWS device name. This is because machine control commands in a
story must be associated with an iNEWS device name, so the monitor
server can load them to the correct device. The iNEWS Workstation uses
the association to create machine control commands from MOS items that
it receives from the ActiveX control associated with the MOS device.
The iNEWS system administrator creates the association by creating a
table in the
SYSTEM.MOS-MAP
story, located in the System directory of
the iNEWS database. The table has the following form:
TABLE-START DeviceTable
MOSGATE.omnibus omnimos chan1 chan2
Ncsgateway.sony sonymos region1 region2 region3
TABLE-END
The table contains at least two columns of names separated by white space.
The first column is the MOS ID of a MOS device; this must match the
name that appears for that device in the MOS Gateway configuration file
between the
<mos>
and
</mos>
tags.
The second column is an iNEWS device name, which can have no more
than eight characters; this must match the name that appears for that device
in the MOS Gateway configuration file between the
<amcp> and
</amcp>
tags. See “The <names> Group” on page84 for more
information.
The table need not contain more than two columns if users are not allowed
to specify the channel on which the MOS device broadcasts the show.
However, if users are allowed to specify the channel, all available channels
for the MOS device must be listed in additional columns on the line for that
MOS device. If channels are specified, then when a user loads the show,
the workstation will display the options listed in columns 3, 4, 5, and so
forth. The user selects one on which to broadcast the show.
