Importing a TV Playout Schedule
The Playout Importer page can be used to upload a Playout file, containing the Playout Scheduler data
from another CDS, into the Playout Scheduler of this CDS. The Playout file is an XML file. For
information about exporting a Playout file, see the “Exporting a Playout Schedule” section on
page 4-106.
Note The Playout Importer page is part of the TV Playout feature and is displayed only if TV Playout feature
is enabled. For more information, see the “Playout Scheduler” section on page F-11.
To import a Playout file, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Maintain > Software > Playout Importer. The Playout Importer page is displayed.
Step 2 In the Playout Export Location text box, enter the full path and filename, or click Browse to locate the
file using the Browse window.
Step 3 When importing a Playout file, each channel is checked for an existing playout schedule, if there are
conflicts, the setting in the Action on Import field is used to decide how to handle the conflict.
Select Preserve existing schedules, to preserve the existing playout schedule when a conflict is
identified. Select Overwrite existing schedules, to overwrite the existing playout schedule.
Step 4 Click Import.
To clear the fields and start over, click Reset.
Upgrade Status of the TV Playout Application
After upgrading the TV CDS software from Release 1.5.4.6 to Release 2.5.2, there are some steps that
must be followed before any configuration changes can occur. The Playout Upgrade Status page tracks
the status of these steps. Clicking the Status of each step takes the user to the page that needs to be
modified. (For the link to work on the first one, the user needs to have Engineering-level access.)
Additionally, the Alarms table displays an alarm stating the playout upgrade is incomplete.
Note The Playout Upgrade Status page is part of the TV Playout feature and is displayed only if TV Playout
feature is enabled. For more information, see the “Playout Scheduler” section on page F-11.
