• Media Sequencer (MSE), is a Vizrt graphics server.

  • The MSE Playlist panel offers active (touch or click-sensitive) thumbnails of graphics held on an MSE.

  • Each thumbnail behaves as a toggle switch, by clicking the thumbnail you set items from an MSE playlist on and off air to a Viz Engine.

  • The panel is designed for touch but also works with mouse.

  • All available playlists can be browsed.

Note: To be able to see thumbnails in the MSE Playlist, Viz Mosart must first be configured to find the MSE. The MSE Playlist Panel#Connection to MSE section below also covers the basics of this topic.
See also the Viz Mosart Administrator Guide, section Configuring the MSE Playlist Panel for more details.

Opening the MSE Playlist Panel

The MSE Playlist Panel can be viewed as a floating window or as a docked window.

  • Select  View > Floating windows > Playlist Panel. 

Browsing Playlist Graphics

You can browse the playlist folders that hold available graphics.

  • Click the folder's icon to open it.

A folder can contain additional folders, as well as playlist elements which can be played out.

  • Use the scrollbar and arrows to navigate all folders.

  • The squares in the lower right indicate where you are in a long list.

  • Use Hide folders to make more room for items.

  • Use the Left or Right arrows or page number for playlists with a lot of content.

Taking a Graphic to Air

  • Select required playlist (touch or mouse).

    A red filler indicates the item has been taken to air.

The same red indication is used when another system takes the graphic out.

Deleting a Graphic

  • If the graphics is deleted from rundown in the NRCS, it is automatically deleted from the Viz Mosart rundown, Overlay Graphics list, MSE and Playlist panel.

The MOSART profile is used by default. You can switch to other graphics profiles.

  1. Click the MSE status icon on the task bar to open the Select profile dialogue.
