Broadcast Pix
V3.0
3.0 PixMaster Storage System
PixMaster is an advanced file system that is pointer based. In PixMaster, all content is
kept in large central library folders, and then a show is just a collection of pointers. In
this way, you do not have to make copies of the same clip for different shows, which
can eat up a lot of disk space.
For example, the central clip library is the clips folder on the systems D drive, and it’s
formal name is D:\\clips\ as illustrated below. All clips live in this central folder, and
editing a show simply means editing your pointers for that show.
There are also three central library folders on the C Drive for graphics, each of which
corresponds to a button on the panel.
They are:
Stills
C:\\graphics\stills\
CG
C:\\graphics\cg\
Animations
C:\\graphics\animation\

The Broadcast Pix System is designed for the real-time production of
live shows to a live audience, or recorded live for viewing later on DVD
or other medium. In both scenarios, the PixMaster show editor delivers
comprehensive pre-production capabilities, enabling you to stage all of
your assets for a smooth production experience. As with most other
endeavors, the more preparation, the better.
NOTE:
You may have up to one sub-folder within the Still, CG, Animations and Clips folders, to assist in
organizing your content. Any other folders will not be seen in PixMaster.
