Overview
The LUCI interface is a web page that can run in browsers that support HTML5, as well as leading newsroom control systems. LUCI is primarily used to create new graphics MOS objects to insert into a newsroom rundown. See below.
There are four main Asset Browser categories, each accessible via a tab at the top of the LUCI interface.
Browse Templates: Most common LUCI workflow. Browse, search, and select a template that is used to create the graphics MOS object. You can choose from Graphic Templates, Completed Graphics, Automation, and Studio Clips.
- Browse Content: Alternate LUCI workflow. Browse, search, and select Image or Movie content first, and then select a compatible template in which to place it.
- Saved Items: Browse Saved Items and use them to create a new MOS Object.
- Rundowns: Displays MOS Objects in currently active rundowns published by the newsroom system. Allows for editing of those objects.
Directly below the Asset Browser categories, you can search for assets as follows:
- Search Field: Enter search terms into this text field.
- Context: Display the assets in the selected Context.
- Category: Display based on All Categories or a specific Category. Categories are defined by the CAMIO Administrator.
- Filter: Filter by None, Favorites or a Filter defined by the CAMIO Administrator.
You can also sort the assets, based on A - Z or Z - A alphabetical sorting based on the Title. Also can sort on Most Recent and Least Recent based on last modified date.

Asset Browser Views
Thumbnails and Details views
When you view assets in Browse Templates and Browse Content, you can set the Template and Content Browsers to display in either asset thumbnails view or asset details view.
- Asset Thumbnails View displays each asset as a thumbnail, with abbreviated information underneath the thumbnail.
- Details View displays a detailed view of the asset’s metadata.
Image Description: Thumbnails View
Image Description: Details View
To toggle between Details View and Thumbnails View:
- Click the Details/Thumbnails View icon , located to the right of the Sort drop-down box at the top of the LUCI window.
- Blue text indicates that the mouse is hovered over the item.
Refresh view
LUCI does not automatically refresh the Asset Browser when new assets are added. You may want to refresh the view.
To check if expected new assets have been added, you can refresh and update the Asset Browser:
- Click the Refresh button, located to the right of the View icon at the top of the LUCI window.
