Media Object Server

MOS

MOS is an evolving protocol for communications between Newsroom Computer Systems (NCS) and Media Object Servers (MOS) such as Video Servers, Audio Servers, Still Stores, and Character Generators.

For more information, please see the MOS Protocol website: http://www.mosprotocol.com.

MOS Lower Port

MOS Lower Port (10540) is defined as the default TCP/IP port on which the NCS accepts connections from MOS devices. Multiple simultaneous connections are supported. This socket is referred to as Media Object Metadata port in the Message Types section.

MOS Upper Port

MOS Upper Port (10541) is defined as the default TCP/IP port on which the MOS accepts connections from the NCS. Multiple simultaneous connections are supported. This socket is referred to as Running Order port in the Message Types section.

Running Order

RO

To Viz Pilot and Viz Trio, a running order is the same as a playlist. It contains objects that reference the information about graphics elements created by the journalist using the Newsroom Connect Component.

A Running Order consists of zero or multiple stories, which again contains one or multiple items.

Objects can appear multiple times in a story, but only once in an item.

Viz Content Pilot

VCP

This product is now re-named Viz Pilot, but you can still find references to its old name.

Accumulate Running Order List

When this setting is enabled, Gateway keeps an internal list of available rundowns. Less traffic is generated to and from the NCS when the list is accumulated internally.
