The Segmentation tool

The Segmentation tool allows you to assign an asset into multiple segments for insertion of commercials in between segments, and creation of diverse segments of an asset for different broadcast times. You can easily create several Segmentation panels in the tool to create multiple types of segments to suit your broadcast schedule.

The Segmentation tool displays as a composite panel in the GV STRATUS application. It includes the Source Viewer, and Segmentation panel(s).

You can create segments only if you have the Segmentation role.

Segmentation tool features are as follows:

Source Viewer — Loads assets to be previewed.
Segmentation Panel — Displays the list of segments of the asset.
Toolbar — Consists of the button to create new segmentation panel.
Duration — Displays the duration timecode which sums up the duration of all the segments within the segmentation panel.
Index — Consists of incrementing numbers for segments. The index number increases whenever each segment is created.

If GV STRATUS security is enforced, your credentials must give you adequate permissions. If permission is restricted, buttons, list items, and other controls can be disabled or hidden. Bins, assets, and metadata that do not have read permissions are not visible. Markers and segments permissions must be set to Allow in order to create, update, or delete markers and segments.
