Documentation

The Documentation section displays manuals and installers relevant to either the operation or installation of CAMIO. These are updated periodically with new CAMIO releases.

Manuals and Installers

The CAMIO5 Installers and Manuals links to an external website that provides the most up-to-date Release Notes, Installers and Manuals. External web access is required. If CAMIO does not have internet access, then you can copy to another device that has external web access to download and read the documents.

Reporting

The Reporting section displays status information about the CAMIO server, including a display of available assets, and active Running Orders currently on CAMIO.

List assets

Selecting List Assets exposes the options shown below.image95.png

  • The drop-down menu at the left specifies which context is to be returned.
  • The drop-down menu in the middle specifies the type of asset type to be returned (images, videos, etc.).
  • The drop-down menu at the right specifies the type of asset is to be returned (assets, deficient assets or fulfilled assets).

Once the parameters are set, you can select any of the following:

  • Display Assets shows all assets that follow the parameters set by the drop-down boxes. Each asset displays a thumbnail of the asset, and the asset’s Title, Description, and Asset Type.
  • Download downloads a copy of the asset to the local system.
  • Preview previews the asset on a new tab.

This user interface is meant for quick checks only. The Asset Manager UI is a better tool for browsing and editing assets.

List running order

This view shows all active Running Orders being sent to CAMIO by the Newsroom Computer System via MOS Protocol. If there are no currently active Running Orders, then the view displays the following:

If there are one or more active Running Orders being sent to CAMIO, then you can select a Running Order from the drop-down box.

The label Active applies only to ENPS, for which a Running Order can be published to CAMIO, but is not active.

A rundown that is not active is not sent to the CAMIO Rundown Endpoint and Viewer (formerly iSQ) for playout.

The Running Order shows the rundown broken down into stories, and each story shows the MOS Object’s thumbnail and some metadata.
