Real-Time Capture Type
Real-Time Capture allows live ingests from multicast IP addresses and uses the CallSign Setup page to
map the multicast IP addresses to call signs. You can enable either Media Scheduler or Real-Time
Capture Type, but not both.
Playout Scheduler
Playout Scheduler is only available in an ISA environment on a VVI with central management or a
legacy CDSM.
The TV Playout features incorporates the TV Playout functionality from a previous release and adds
enhancements to these features. The TV Playout feature includes Public, Education, and Government
(PEG) channels and Barker Streams. PEG channels differ from traditional broadcast channels in that the
service provider itself must ingest and stream the content rather than receiving and forwarding a satellite
feed.
The Playout Scheduler has the following options
• Playout Scheduler—On/Off
• Localized EPG Extension—On/Off
For information on the configuration workflow of the Playout Scheduler and the associated CDSM GUI
pages, see the “TV Playout Configuration Workflow” section on page 3-12.
Localized EPG Extensions
To enable Localized EPG Extensions, the Playout Scheduler must be enabled.
Localized EPG Extensions adds the Configure > Array Level > EPG Exporter page. The EPG
Exporter allows you to create an XML file that contains information from the Playout Scheduler for
viewing, saving, and importing into a system to create program listings.
When content is selected for ingest on the Configure > Array Level > Manual Ingest page, there are
two additional fields for Localized EPG Extensions:
• Localized Name
• Localized Description
The Monitor > System Level > Completed Ingest page displays the Localized Name and Localized
Description fields and allows them to be edited.
The Configure > Array Level > Barker/Stream Playlist displays the Localized Name in the content
selection field.
The Configure > Array Level > Playout Scheduler displays the original ingest name of the content
object, not the Localized Name.
Ingest Manager
The Ingest Manager is an optional feature and requires a software activation key to enable it. For more
information about activating the Ingest Manager, see “Initializing the CDS and Activating the Optional
Features” section on page 3-3. The Ingest Manager takes care of provisioned content objects by
collecting the metadata, sending messages to the appropriate subsystem to ingest the content, and
sending messages to expire the content when the expiration period has passed.
