The Assignments Pane
MediaCentral UX provides the tools needed for a story-centric workflow, where content is the focus of your production as you deliver stories and media to multiple platforms. Your administrator or producer can create assignments while gathering information from multiple sources, including news wires and social media, to assist in sharing content, working with remote production teams, and delivering to a variety of platforms. Starting with assets created or stored on your iNEWS or Interplay Production databases, you can use the Assignments pane to organize teams, resources, and content, and then deliver your work to relevant end points.
The content-oriented, or story-centric, workflow can include the following components:
• A MediaCentral UX administrator customizes the parameters for assignments in the Assignments section of the System Settings. The settings can provide information for the assignment — for example, content categories and topics, as well as destinations such as iNEWS queues and rundowns.
• In the Assignments pane, you can create and modify assignments, add graphics and video from Interplay Production or Avid MAM, and include story text, social media posts, and comments as you build your story. The Assignments pane also provides you with the ability to collaborate with research assistants, editors, graphic artists, journalists, and others on your team.
