Inserting MOS Placeholders
You can create a placeholder item for a third-party MOS device in an iNEWS story, in either the story
form or as a story’s production cue. To add it to the story form, the story form must be capable of
including MOS information.
n
The iNEWS server must be running iNEWS v4.0.3 or later.
To insert a MOS object placeholder:
1. Position your cursor in one of the following places:
- In a segment in the Story editor.
- In any field in the Story form.
2. Click the Pane Menu button and select Insert Placeholder.
The Create MOS Object Placeholder dialog box opens.
3. Select a device name and enter a title. Optionally, enter a description.
4. Press OK.
The new MOS object placeholder appears as a production cue in the Story editor and the Cue
List, or in the MOS-Title field.
The MOS device user can later update the placeholder with a real ID and object by turning on or
loading the monitor server. The MOS Gateway will then return data back to iNEWS and
MediaCentral UX in the production cue.
Adding Media to a Story
If you want to add media to your story, you need to create a video sequence that is associated with the
story. To create a sequence, click the Open Sequence button in the Queue/Story pane toolbar. You
also use this button to open a sequence that you have already associated with a story. You then can
edit the sequence in the Sequence pane. For more information, see “Using the Sequence Pane” on
page 111 and “Editing a Sequence Associated with a Story” on page 134.
You can set an option to automatically load a sequence associated with a story. Select Home > User
Settings > iNEWS > Autoload Sequence.
