Request Running Order
Note: In Viz Pilot, a running order is called a playlist.
-
Click the Playlists button on the control panel to the left.
-
Select the MSE Playlists tab.
Information: All newsroom systems, represented by the NCS ID, that are connected to Gateway can be seen in the list.
-
Select the newsroom system, and then select one of its running orders. Double-click the running order to open and monitor it.
-
Verify that MOS status in the lower left says "Active" and has a green checkmark, indicating the playlist is MOS active. If not, i.e., it says "Inactive" and is red, right-click on the icon and select Request.
-
Check that the playlist has the same story and items as the one created in the NCS.
-
Add a new story and see that Viz Pilot receives the update.
Note: All items in a running order need a MOS Object, created in the NCS client, to be visible in the Viz Pilot playlist.
This concludes the installation test for Viz Pilot. For more information on how to use Viz Pilot with newsroom systems and Gateway, see the Viz Pilot documentation.
