iNEWS Form Fields for MOS Gateway
Field Type
Description
MOS-ACTIVE
This field is required on the story form so a queue can display whether a
MOS item, such as a Media Browse video event, is attached to a script; this
is typically done by dragging and dropping the MOS item into the story form
from an ActiveX plugin. The read-only field holds a short code representing
certain attributes of a MOS item. If empty, no MOS item is attached.
MOS-TITLE
This read-only field is used to display a brief description—or title—of the
MOS item inserted from a plugin as a primary machine control event in the
story form. It is optional.
MOS-SUBEVENT
This field is used to display additional descriptive information only if the
MOS item is inserted as a primary machine control event in the story form. It
is optional.
MOS-DURATION
This field is used by iNEWS to display the duration time of a MOS item
attached to a script through the story form. Whether any time appears in the
field depends on configuration settings in the SYSTEM.MOS-MAP story
created and stored in iNEWS. The field is optional and its contents are only
used in calculations if the RUNS-TIME field is also present in the story
form.
See “Calculating Duration in Time Fields” on page 50 for more
information.
EVENT-STATUS
This read-only field displays, in the rundown, the availability and play status
of a machine control event or any MOS item, as reported by the production
device involved. For instance, a video event could be reported as N/L (not
loaded) or OFFLINE, CUED,PLAYING, or STOPPED, among other things.
In forms for rundown and event list queues, only the status of a video event
can be displayed. In Machine Control Terminal (MCT) and ControlAir
Workstation forms, this field can also contain the status of CG and still store
events. It is optional.
ITEM-CHANNEL
This read-only field is necessary only if a separate field is used to assign
channels—via the Assign Channel dialog (Shift+Alt+C) in iNEWS—for
playback of MOS items. It is optional.
RUNS-TIME
This field displays the sum of time in the MOS-DURATION field and all
Runs times within the story, including those from MOS items inserted in the
story body. It is optional, but recommended when the MOS-DURATION
field is also present in the Story Form panel.
See “Calculating Duration in
Time Fields” on page 50 for more information.
