Adding an event

Click the Add Event button.

(

A) The Inspector panel loads event properties.

Tip: You can also right-click anywhere on the Scheduler's track view and select Add Event from the context menu. The Inspector panel automatically shows the channel and start time based on the location of your mouse on the Scheduler interface.

Fill in properties of your event according to the following:

Template — Select a template from the drop-down list, if it's already configured.
Name — Enter a name for the scheduled event.
Router Source — If a router is configured as part of the system, select router source for the event from the drop-down list. If configured as a Multicam channel in GV STRATUS Control Panel, two router sources are available.
Recording Channel — Channel availability depends on the configuration in your system. You can only see and select channels that have been configured for the Scheduler tool. Make sure that the channel is not in Continuous Record mode.
Clip Location — Select a record location for the event from the drop-down list.
Start Record Now — Check this box to start recording immediately after you click the Add button. If you don't enter the end time of the event, the default is set to1 hour. You can also set the default duration in the Feed Ingest panel of the GV STRATUS Control Panel application.
Start Date — Enter the date and time you want the recording to start. The default date is the current date. You can also select your start date from the calendar when you click the drop-down arrow. Enter the time using the format hour:minutes:seconds.
Note: When scheduling two events back to back, a space of 10 seconds is required from the stop of the first record to the start of the second record. In order to compensate this, it is recommended that the default record duration reflect a stop time 10 seconds prior to the rounded duration (e.g., 00:59:50 for a 1 hour record).
Open Ended Record — Check this box if you want the recording to continue until you manually stop it. With this record, you only need to provide the start time.
Duration — Enter the duration of the event. The default duration can be set in the Feed Ingest panel of the GV STRATUS Control Panel application. The maximum duration that can be set for an event is 23:59:59.
End Date — Enter the date and time you want the recording to end. You can also select your end date from the calendar when you click the drop-down arrow.
Record Backup — Check this box if you want to record a backup of the feed.
Backup Channel — Select a backup channel from the drop-down list.

Note: You cannot select the same channel for both main and backup recordings. Backup channel is disabled when only one channel is configured for the Scheduler.
Backup Clip Location — Select a record location for the backup clip.
Tags — Enter a tag, or tags for the event.
Description — Enter the description of the event.
Comments — Enter any comments that you have on the event.

By default, the Scheduler tool opens to the current day, date, and time according to your system time. The time of day format within the Scheduler is directly from the current time of day format of your machine.

To set the 24 hour format to your Scheduler, change the time format of your Windows client by selecting Start | Control Panel | Clock, Language and Region, and change the time format accordingly.

Note: Changes to the Scheduler’s time format can only be seen after a restart of the GV STRATUS application.

You can also check other properties of the asset under the Other section.

In the Misc tab of the Inspector, you can select the Recurring Event check box if you want the scheduled event to occur more than once.

Note: If your recurring event includes the start or end time of the Daylight Saving Time, a dialog pops up to warn the possibility of time change in your scheduled recording.

Click OK to close the dialog.

In the Link to Placeholder tab of the Inspector, you can select a placeholder if you want to link it to your event, and click the Link button.

The placeholder name and ID fill in to replace the name of the event, and the placeholder row color changes to light blue to signify it as Being Edited in the Assignment List tool. You can also configure the Being Edited status color in the ALP tab of user preferences settings.

Note: For playout, make sure the clip record location is the same as the playout location.

Click the Add button in the Inspector panel. The event is added to the Scheduler tool with a Ready status.
