Media-Store

Media-Store allows you to load stills, animations,

or audio from the hard drive and make them

available as a source on the switcher. Each ME

has 2 channels of audio and 4 channels video

Media-Store.

Keep the following in mind:

Keep the following in mind when you are using

the Media-Store:
• If you know the number of the still you want

to load, you can select the crosspoint button

mapped to the still-store channel on the ME,

and then enter the still number on the

keypad on the Global Memory module.

• You can clear the still currently loaded into

a channel by selecting

0

as the still number

you load from the keypad on the Global

Memory module. This is the same as pressing

the

Eject

button.

• If you are loading an Auto Key (PNG or TGA

with alpha) into a media-store channel, you

must have another media-store channel

associated with the current one to load the

alpha into.

• Corrupt files are shown with the warning

Not a valid image format

and should be

deleted from the switcher.

• Using a third-party application to upload,

edit, or move media items or directories on

the switcher can cause the permissions to

those files or directories to be set incorrectly.

Use the Media-Store Permissions feature

from the Web UI to clean the permissions.

File Specifications

Media files must meet the following

File Naming

The file name can be up to 32 characters in

length, but should be up to a maximum of 12

characters, so that it can be displayed on the

menus properly. The name can contain letters,

numbers, spaces, dashes, underscores, and,

periods, but should not contain symbols.
If you are naming an animation, each file must

be numbered in the sequence that it will play

out. The following restrictions apply to file

names for animations:
• Each file must use a 2-digit to 5-digit number,

including all the leading zeros.

• Each file in the sequence must have the same

numbering scheme.

• The first file in a sequence must be numbered

0.

• The file name and number must be separated

by an

_

.

• Audio files and video files must have the

same name to be associated with each other.

For example, a 90-frame animation would start

with

Anim_0000.tga

and end with

Anim_0089.tga

Media-Store Audio

Audio can be added to the playout of a Media

-Store channel either by loading the file directly,

or by associating the audio file with the video
