Creating a Timer Event

From Oxygen.next Wiki

Click the Timer button in the horizontal navigation bar. On the left side of your screen you will see an overview of your players or player groups. Choose the player or player group that you want to create a timer event for.

The current day is always highlighted in the calendaric month overview on the right side. The Day and Month buttons allow to switch between day and month view. By means of the arrow buttons you can switch between the different months.

Click on the day that you want to create a timer event for in the month overview or click the Add button down to the right. A click on the desired day will take you to the day overview. Double-click the desired hour interval or click the Add button.

Now you can select the content item from your footage section that you want to set a timer event for. All content items from the different categories are displayed in a user-friendly way by means of thumbnails. The scroll bar top right allows to define how many content items shall be displayed on one page. Click the desired content item to create a timer event for it. The user interface for timer events will be opened.

In the Options menu you can define whether your timer event shall be active, i.e. whether it shall be considered at all, whether it shall be played with Exact Start, whether the content item shall be played with sound and whether an overlay and/or station logo shall be displayed. If you activate Exact Start the content item will be played exactly at the time you have defined as the start time. The current program will then be interrupted. If you do not activate Exact Start the current content item will be fully played before the scheduled content item will start.

Furthermore you can define on which channel the content item shall be played. For images and flash movies a display duration can be determined.
