Mosart ActiveX key:

• DefaultStudio: Optional. The entry of the studio setup in the Studios sub-key. A blank value will select the (Default) entry.

• FieldNameValuesToAbstract: Optional. A list of newsroom tags separated by colon or semicolon used to create the content of the mosAbstract tag of a MOS object generated with Mosart ActiveX. See also Linking Device Properties and Newsroom Tags.
  Example:
  Given the following template type=PACKAGE and variant=1 with two newsroom tags, clip_hirespath and clip_description:
  
  
  
  And FieldNameValuesToAbstract is set to clip_hirespath in the registry:

  

  Then mosAbstract tag will contain the clip id in the MOS object generated by Viz Mosart ActiveX:

  MOS object generated with Mosart ActiveX

  <mos>

  <ncsItem>

  <item>

  <itemID>0</itemID>

  <objID>PACKAGE;1</objID>

  <mosID>mosart</mosID>

  <mosPlugInID>Mosart.ActiveX</mosPlugInID>

  <mosItemBrowserProgID>Mosart.ActiveX</mosItemBrowserProgID>

  <mosItemEditorProgID>Mosart.ActiveX</mosItemEditorProgID>

  <mosAbstract>MyClip</mosAbstract>

  <mosExternalMetadata>

  <mosScope>PLAYLIST</mosScope>

  <mosSchema>http://www.mosartmedialab.no/schema/mositem.dtd</mosSchema>

  <mosPayload>

  <mosarttemplate>

  <type name="PACKAGE" category="">

  <variants value="1" fieldtype="LIST">

  <variant name="1">

  <fields>

  <field name="clip_description" default="" fieldtype="TEXT" keylist="" />

  <field name="clip_hirespath" value="MyClip" default="" fieldtype="TEXT" keylist="" />

  </fields>

  </variant>

  </variants>

  </type>

  </mosarttemplate>

  </mosPayload>

  </mosExternalMetadata>

  </item>

  </ncsItem>

  </mos>

  If FieldNameValuesToAbstract=clip_hirespath;clip_description in the registry, and clip_description is set to "Test" in Viz Mosart ActiveX for the same template taken as example above, then mosAbstract will be built using the value of clip_hirespath and clip_description separated by space, i.e. <mosAbstract>MyClip Test</mosAbstract>.
  
  If FieldNameValuesToAbstract is set to an invalid value (for example, a typo error in the newsroom tag name(s)), then mosAbstract tag will be set to <template type> <template variant> followed by the values of newsroom tags found on the template separated by space. Given the example above, then mosAbstract will be <mosAbstract>PACKAGE 1 MyClip Test</mosAbstract>.

• FormattedAbstract: Optional. Valid values: 0 or 1. Setting this value to 1 will insert HTML codes and newlines in the MOS Abstract field of the MOS item. Use value 0 to have a plain format of the text from MOS Abstract field.

• GenerateUniqueObjId: Optional. Valid values: 0 or 1. Enables (when set to 1) or disables (when set to 0 or blank) generation of an unique objID for a MOS object. Set this to 1 for OpenMedia which identifies a MOS object by objID and itemID.

• HideAddButton: Optional. Valid values: 0 or 1. When MOS-based NCSs are used, set this setting to 1 for hiding the "Add" button in the Viz Mosart ActiveX and force the user to use Drag&Drop. Default is 0 (false).

• MosId: This is the default MOS ID for the Viz Mosart ActiveX. For some NCSs like ENPS, no value is required. For other NCSs like Avid iNews or Octopus, the value must be the MOS ID as mapped in the respective NCS. See below section how to configure MOS ID in some of the NCSs.
  

• MosVersion: Optional. Setting this value will force the Viz Mosart ActiveX to use the given version of the MOS protocol. A version higher than 2.8 will enable the Add/Apply button in the Viz Mosart ActiveX. Should be set to 2.8.3 for all MOS-based newsroom systems, such as ENPS and OpenMedia. Use HideAddButton option in order to force using only Drag&Drop functionality.

• SortXpoints: Optional. Specifies the ordering of the newsroom tags selection in the Viz Mosart ActiveX. By default, Viz Mosart ActiveX sorts the newsroom tags alphabetically (both in database and channeltemplates.xml ). When enabled (value 1), the newsroom tags will be sorted based on the order that was given in the channeltemplates.xml when they were created. Read more about newsroom tags in Additional Template Functionality, section Newsroom Tags Order.
  
  

• VerboseLogging: Optional. Valid values: 0 or 1. Viz Mosart ActiveX logs using Microsoft trace mechanisms. The logging will not be written in the Viz Mosart main logs. Use Microsoft Sysinternals DebugView to monitor the logging. When set to 0 or empty, only log events of type Information, Error and Warning will be logged. Setting VerboseLogging to 1 will enable more elaborate logging.

Studios sub-key

Under Mosart ActiveX key a sub-key Studios can be found where the system can be configured with multiple control rooms. A control room is defined by files residing in a specific folder ( typically C:/channeltemplates ) or in a database. See the Registry Editor screenshot below . For information on connecting Viz Mosart ActiveX to a control room, please refer to Connecting the ActiveX to Viz Mosart Server.

The DefaultStudio option on the Mosart ActiveX key tells which control room to use by default or set this as blank and configure the (Default) option on the Studios key:

On the Viz Mosart ActiveX page, two drop-down boxes can be found. The first one is a list of control rooms as configured in the Studios sub-key from registry:

In our example, three control rooms were configured in Studios sub-key: blank item (default control room), Lab and Test. These items all be shown in the first drop-down box. Since DefaultStudio registry key was set to blank, Viz Mosart ActiveX will open with blank item selected in the first drop-down box and thus pointing to the control room whose configuration files can be found in Viz Mosart folder C:\ChannelTemplates.
