Channel Settings

Viz Multichannel allows you to define Global Settings as well as channel-specific settings that only has an effect on a per channel basis.

The following sections contain reference information on channel specific settings:

General Settings
Import and Export Settings
External Triggering

External triggering is relevant to the control room environment as the protocols involved may be used in the actual broadcast process. Note that for the traffic department, external triggering is (in general) not taken into consideration.

On the right corner of the Settings window, there is an On/Off switch. You can configure settings with the devices on or off. When off, the settings will take effect the next time the device is turned on.

This section contains information on the following topics:

External Data Sources
Playout Configuration

Viz Multichannel is able to handle multiple TV channels. In order to accomplish this you need to define separate configuration settings per channel. Hence, as part of the configuration you also need to define playout devices. Playout is defined as graphics and/or video output.

For your graphics output you assign Viz Engines. For video output you can either assign Viz Engines or other video playout servers that are able to handle your video output. For more information, see the Graphics Workflow sections on Upstream and Downstream workflows.
