Testing a Template

You can test the behavior of your template by simulating a Preview (cue) followed by a Take.

To Test a Template

Press the Take button to the right of the template heading.

This cues the template in Preview, and then five seconds later takes it to Program with the selected transition.

Video Switcher Crosspoint

The video switcher crosspoint enables switching on the video switcher. The A or B bus assignment of the mixer effect (PP/MEx) is automatically handled by the automation.

Guidelines for Video Switcher Crosspoint Configuration

Item	Description
Mix Effect	Selects which Mix Effect (ME) bank on your vision mixer that you are currently handling. Note : Newsroom tag available.
Crosspoint	Crosspoint on the video switcher. Default value: none Enter a text value (shall be same as in the list of available x-points for Video configurations). Note: Newsroom tag available.
Audio link	Default value: none
Crosspoint PP	If another Mix Effect (ME) than PP is selected, then you can select a crosspoint for program by writing the crosspoint name in the field.
Set ME in PP	If another Mix Effect (ME) than PP is selected, check this box to make that ME the crosspoint for PP. (Checking this box disables XPOINT PP).
Cross Point Hold	Keeps the crosspoint on the selected Mix Effect.
Mix Delay	Offset, in frames, of when to perform the transition.
Mix Delay Out	Delay, in frames, of when to perform the next transition.
Transition Only	Only delay the switcher transition (sub items will perform).
DSK Off	Turns off the Downstream Keyer (DSK) on the video switcher when the template is active in program. The keyer selected as DSK in the switcher device property (Devices > Properties > Vision Mixer > selected DSKNr), will be used.
DSK 2 On, ..., DSK 8 On	Downstream Keyer (DSK) 2-8 on. Turns on the DSK 2-8 (PP key 2-8) on the video switcher when the template is active in program.
Off delay	Delay in frames to set the DSK 2-8 off.

Video Switcher Transition

The transition device is only available when video Switcher crosspoint is enabled.

To Define Video Switcher Transitions

This procedure is based on the example in the screenshot.

Click on MIX/WIPE/EFFECT to cycle through these three transition types.
Click directly on the selected value (in the screenshot above, this is either 0 or 1).
Enter
1. The default duration (in frames) for the Mix/Wipe transition, or
2. The effect number for the effect transition.

The transition is performed with the auto-transition functionality in the video switcher.

Usage and Tips

To do a cut, use a MIX transition with 0 frames duration.
To add a mix delay, right-click on the device (MIX/WIPE/EFFECT), select the number (below Disable), and enter another number (in frames).
Adding a mix delay delays the start of the transition, compared to other device commands, when the template goes On Air.
To disable the transition, right-click over the device and select Disable.

Video Switcher Register/Timeline Recall

Video Switcher Register/Timeline Recall (EMEM Recall/Emem Recall/Dmem Recall/Snapshot Recall/Memory Recall) will recall a register and/or timeline in the video switcher.

To Open the Video Switcher Register/Timeline Recall

This procedure is based on the example in the screenshot.

Open Template Editor.
Right-click over ememnr_pr
Select Enable > EMEM Recall
Enter or select required values

Note: If a Register recall is paired with the video switcher key bus delegation and/or auxiliary bus delegation, the key/aux bus delegation should be disabled in the Video Switcher Register to prevent a conflict between the stored delegation and the Viz Mosart-assigned delegation.

Guidelines for Video Switcher Register/Timeline Recall Configuration

Item	Description
NAME	Name of Register/Timeline.
DESCRIPTION	Description of Register/Timeline.
MIXEFFECT	Select the MIXEFFECT (ME) from where the Register/Timeline should be recalled. Drop-down menu values are PP (Program), ME1, ME2, ME3, ME4, and Master. Default value: Master.

Note: Some Tricaster drivers use a non-standard macro in which the argument is the macro text itself. However, this does not apply the driver currently used by Viz Mosart.

Video Switcher Auxiliary Bus Delegation

Auxiliary bus delegation enables routing of internal video switcher signals to the auxiliary outputs of your video switcher.

Note: VIZRT-IPS: Video switchers supporting VIZRT-IPS use NDI outputs, not auxiliaries. So on the template, the Auxiliaries device is instead named NDI Router Output.

Type or select relevant values.

Guidelines for Auxiliary Bus Delegation Configuration

Item	Description
BUS	Selects the auxiliary to assign a new source. Note: Newsroom tag available.
XPOINT	Crosspoint on the video switcher. Note: Newsroom tag available.
AUDIOLINK	Assigns a link group to this delegation. Please refer to Audio and Video Setup for the use of this feature.
SET DELAY	Set the delay in frames of the key delegation when taking the template to Program. If the field is left blank, the key is set in Preview
TRANS DUR	If the vision mixer has the ability to mix on the AUX channels, this is where the mix rate is set, `0` is a cut

Configuring an NDI Router (Viz Vectar Plus or Tricaster VMC)

Note: For NDI output crosspoints, you must refer to actual crosspoint names recognized by VMC1 (and not any user-friendly names that would be mapped to the physical inputs).
These default naming on the NDI router side is typically:
- INPUTn
- DDRn
- BFRn
- MIX n.
The same naming must be used on the Viz Mosart side.

In AV Automation > Devices > A/V Setup > Video Config > Mixer name column, you must provide the hardcoded name associated with the user-friendly name of the crosspoint.
This name is found on the switcher side.

In the example below, the value of the literal crosspoint name is the router output found in the switcher's Macro Configuration > Macro Editor menu and added to AV Automation:

There is a new setting UseOutputCrosspointNames in the IP-protocol config VizrtIpSystemsVideoSwitcherConfig.xml set by default to expect the crosspoint name, instead of the Viz Mosart standard of using physical input naming.

Keyfill: Video Switcher Key Bus Delegation

Video switcher key bus delegation enables routing of internal video switcher signals to the keyers on the different mixer effects of the switcher.

Note: TRICASTER (VIZRT-IPS): For video switchers supporting M/E effects with 4 layers, the device is named Key/Layer.

To Enable Keyfill by Bus Delegation

Open Template Editor.
Navigate to Enable > Keyfill > [Keyfill index]
Enter or select required values.

To Enable Keyfill by Bus Delegation for M/E effects with 4 layers

Devices like Viz Vectar Plus or VMC1 let you configure M/Es with effects supporting up to 4 primary sources/input layers (along with Key layers), called A, B, C and D buses.
Viz Mosart can control these buses from a template or keyboard shortcut when VIZRT-IPS is used for a vision mixer.

Open Template Editor.
Navigate to Enable > KeyLayer > [KeyLayer index]
The Key/Layer device on a template can be used for VMC1 vision mixer to either set the crosspoint for a Key bus or to set the crosspoint for A, B, C and D buses of a M/E effect with 4 layers.
Right-click > Device properties.
Select from the BUS drop-down menu:
1. If the device is used for setting the crosspoint for a key bus, set the BUS drop-down menu to a number between 1 and 8 on the Key/Layer device properties.
2. If the device is used for setting the crosspoint for a layer of a M/E effect with 4 layers, then choose one of the letters A, B, C and D from the BUS drop-down menu.

Guidelines for Keyfill Configuration

Item	Description
BUS	Selects the key bus on the selected ME. If the video switcher supports M/Es with 4 layers (e.g. VIZRT-IPS), 4 more buses are available corresponding to each layer, A, B, C and D: Note: Newsroom tag available.
XPOINT	Crosspoint on the video switcher. Default value: none Note: Newsroom tag available.
AUDIOLINK	Assigns a link group to this delegation. Please refer to Audio and Video Setup (previously Linking video and audio sources) for the use of this feature.
MIXEFFECT	Select the ME where the key crosspoint should be set. Note: Newsroom tag available.
KEY SET DELAY	Set the delay in frames of the key delegation when taking the template to a program. If the field is left blank the key is set in preview.
KEY ENABLE	Key enable drop-down menu. Note: Newsroom tag available.

Video Server

Guidelines for Video Server Configuration

Setting	Description
SERVERCHANNEL	The Mosart video port / port group where the clip is to be played out /recorded. For recording the corresponding video port has to be part of the “Rec” port group. Port groups are created as part of the video server configuration in menu AvAutomation > Devices > Preferences. Configurations are described in Video Servers, section Working with Mosart Port Configurations. Notably, the defined virtual ports are among the available options. In addition, the non-empty groups (groups with at least one port) are available. If a group has the same name as one of its ports (as may be the case for the Rec and P groups, if defined), the group as such is not available, but the port is.
CLIP HIRESPATH	The (default) clip ID or name. Note: Newsroom tag available, meaning that a value from the NRCS will override the value specified here.
CLIP DESCRIPT	You can enter a Clip description, however a clip description from the NRCS or video server overrides this value. Note: Newsroom tag available.
TRIGGER START	Enables the Trigger start function from control commands, a shortcut or continue point could be set to PLAY the Clip.
RECUE CLIP	In an A/B roll situation, when several Adlibs are played back-to-back, this setting determines how a clip will be restarted after it has been paused. For example, if Clip A is paused when Clip B is taken On Air, then next time Clip A is taken on the same channel, it can either be played from where it was paused, or be re-cued (played from the beginning). This is only used for AdlibPix templates.
LOOP	Sets the server port to loop the clip. Beware! Not all video servers can loop.
CUE ONLY	Cues only the clip when the template is in Preview. The template will not start playing the clip when the template is taken.

Graphics

The Graphics device enables recall of graphic elements.

Graphic elements are cued (loaded) in Preview and played (started) when taken to Program.

Guidelines for Graphics Configuration

Engine	Selects the engine to operate on when using this template, based on your configuration. See section Graphics.
Content Source	dataconnection: Use content from the attached graphics database (only available when Vizrt graphics are used) newsroom: Use content from the attached NRCS. none: Use content written into the template.
Send Continue on DVE FORWARD	If selected, a continue command is sent together with a DVE Forward command.
Use VizContentPilot	Enable to run this element through a Viz Pilot client. This allows for OnLiveUpdate events in Viz Pilot data elements.
Scene Name	The default scene name is used, if not overridden by the NRCS. Note: Newsroom tag available.
Scene Text	The default scene text will be used, if not overridden by the NRCS. Note: Newsroom tag available.
Is database Index
Use take Out Command	If selected, a take-out command is sent when the template status changes from On Air to Off Air.
Take Out Delay	Delay of sending takeout command after template status changes from On Air to Off Air.
Translate Cue for Transition Logic elements	If active, this setting overrides the global setting with same name set in AV Automation > Devices > Properties > Graphics > General > [VIZRT] > Miscellaneous. This setting only applies to transition logic for Vizrt full screen graphics. The Media Sequencer ignores standard cue command for these items. No translate: Send cue command to the Media Sequencer (on Media Sequencer versions below 1.20 no cue will be performed). Take: Use a Take command when cuing. Take out: Use a Take out command when cuing.

Video Wall Register Recall

Setting	Description
NAME	Internal name of the shot.
RECALL PREVIE	For WATCHOUT, see notes below. For the other brands, this is the number of the recall to be taken when the template is cued in Preview.
EMEMNR	For WATCHOUT, see notes below. For the other brands, this is the number of the preset to take when the template is taken in Program.

Notes for WATCHOUT

The fields RECALL PREVIE and EMEMNR should contain the command or sequence of commands to be sent when the template comes in Preview or Program, respectively.
The general format is: [load "show"] [resetrun "timeline"]
Both load and run are optional, however at least one of them must be present. The show and timeline parameters may not contain double quotes.
The reset value is optional. For more information see the connection string property ResetAnyway, described in the section Video Wall Connection Strings.
In most cases, RECALL PREVIE contains load "show", and EMEMNR contains run "timeline".

Audio Player

LEVEL: This value does not affect the level. Instead, a value > -90 (the value must be an integer) starts playout, whereas a value <= -90 stops the playout.
AUDIO FILE: Optionally, enter an audio file name here. If a newsroom tag is added, and a value is provided by the NRCS, that value is used.
OUTPUT: (Viz Mosart Audio Player only) Choose the output on the Audio Player to be used, if nothing is inserted, the first port is used. This value is overwritten by values coming from the NRCS.
Outputs are displayed on the Audio Player UI (see the Audio Player section at AV Automation Devices > Audio).

Note: Newsroom tags available for both AUDIO FILE and OUTPUT.

For further details, including third party audio players, see section Audio Players.

Virtual Set

You can specify the camera to take in a virtual set.

Insert the camera number in the virtual set that is to be taken when the template is taken to Program.

Note: For Vizrt's virtual set manager, Viz Arc, please refer to section Viz Arc support within a Mosart show.

Robotic Camera Control

The camera control device allows for recalling camera shots (and pre-programmed moves) when the template is cued in preview or aired in program. The device editor supports salvo recalls of shots by adding multiple lines for each shot recall.

The Standard Robotic Camera Control Properties are described below, as well as exceptions for specific camera types:

Guidelines for Standard Robotic Camera Control Configuration

Example: Setting up a Template with Camera Control Device Enabled

This example demonstrates configuring a template for a Camera Control device using an NDI PTZ camera. Whilst the steps are specific to NDI PTZ cameras, a similar setup applies to other camera types.
Depending on the camera model and its supported features, slight adjustments in the configuration may be required.
We assume the following setup is configured as described in section Camera Robotics (under Device Properties):

POD2-PTZ3 and VIZRTV-MTTE02 are connected.
POD2-PTZ4 is currently disconnected.

On a Mosart template, we have the following shots for a Camera Control device:

In the screenshot above, based on the Camera Number input, Shots 1 and 2 will be executed by the first Robotic Camera controller, while Shot 3 will be executed by the second Robotic Camera controller.

Shot 1:
- Camera number is set to 0, meaning the shot will be applied to the first controller configured, as 0 is within the range 0-1 set in the Cameras field.
- Page Preview is set to 0, meaning preset 4 will be applied to camera POD2-PTZ3 in preview.
- Page Program is set to 2, which is outside the range 0-1, so the preset will not be applied in program.
Shot 2:
- Camera number is set to 1, meaning the shot will also be applied to the first controller, as 1 is within the range 0-1 set in the Cameras field.
- Page Preview is set to 1, meaning preset 2 will be applied to camera POD2-PTZ4 in preview.
- Page Program is set to 1, meaning preset 3 will be applied to camera POD2-PTZ4 in program, but with a delay of 15 frames.
Shot 3:
- Camera number is set to 2, meaning the shot will be applied to the second controller configured, as the number matches the value set in the Cameras field.
- Page Preview is set to 2, meaning preset 1 will be applied to camera VIZRTV-MTTE02 in preview.
- Page Program is set to 2, meaning preset 2 will be applied to camera VIZRTV-MTTE02 in program.

In other words, the following moves were executed in preview (note that POD2-PTZ4 is disconnected):

and the following moves were executed in program (again, note that POD2-PTZ4 is disconnected and the shot will not be executed. This can also be seen in the technical logs):

GPO

The GPO editor is used for sending GPOs to external equipment.

The editor supports multiple GPO sends.
Add a new line in the editor for multiple GPO sends.

Tip: For GPO values, refer to section GPIIO.

gpo_preview: GPO to send when a template is cued in Preview.
gpo_program: GPO to send when a template is taken in Program.
