Category Behavior

From Oxygen.next Wiki

The Behavior tab allows to define a playback behavior for a whole category.

[edit] Timing

Define a specific time span to the minute and determine on which days of the week the content item from the chosen category shall be played and on which days it shall not be considered.

[edit] Channels

Here you can define on which channels – i.e. in which window sections – the content item from the chosen category shall be played during split screen operation. Furthermore you can define with which priority the item shall be played.

[edit] Playout Options

Here you can define the category length. If you enter a value of e.g. 5 five content items will be played in a row when this category is selected.

The Timeout function defines (in minutes) how long the category will no longer be considered after it has been played. Determining a value of e.g. 120 the category will be locked for 2 hours after it has been played.

The Playout Order defines the order in which the content within the category is played: Shuffle for random playout and Ascending/Descending for a playout pursuant to the order.

If Continuous Playout is activated the playout will be continued from that point where the category has been left. Example: If a category has a length of 1 and continuous playout and descending order are activated the first footage item will be played at first. Then the player will jump to another category. When the player returns to the first category the second footage item will be played.
