preparation work before the broadcast. It is also known as Media Bin, which is divided into tabs
as shown in the diagram below. Shortcuts to the media files are placed in the appropriate tabs.
This facilitates the use of media during live production.
The bin has six tabs for files assigned to a given player. There are two tabs for video files (Media1,
Media2), two for bitmaps (Still1, Still2), and for text (Text1, Text2). The TVS-1000A supports the
use of media in multiple formats. It has also integrated support for many codecs to play video
files.
In each specific tab, the user can also divide the content (files) into five
categories (maximum). This is done by means of sections (designated 1 to 5).
The sections can be used to keep files in order, for specific activities.
The use of media requires two actions:
• the addition of a file to a bin;
• loading the medium into a virtual player.
For each file added to the Media Bin, an icon is automatically generated. This
enables the preview of the file content. Within a given tab, icons can be sorted using
drag and drop. For files with the alpha channel (with transparency), a preview is
displayed showing transparency against a background of a gray and white grid.
To add a file to the bin, a tab (or a subtab within a tab) has to be selected. After that, either click
on the add file button or double click on an empty space within the selected tab of the bin,
and a typical file browsing window will be opened.
Next to the add file button, there is a
the bin. If the file being removed has already been loaded into a player, the user will be
prompted for confirmation. After the removal of a file (media), the preview for the
corresponding player shows a blue background.
Please note that no operations on files in the Media Bin change files on the hard disk. File
removal or file name changes only affect shortcuts to the files on the tabs. It is also possible to
add a file to the same tab or to different tabs multiple times. The user can also change the names
of files (shortcuts) by clicking the file name change button
and the same file can be used with different names.
