Connection Basics
The MediaCentral UX mobile application can be used to perform many of the same actions supported by MediaCentral UX in a web-browser, such as:
• Navigate the iNEWS and Interplay Production databases.
• Edit news stories.
• View and play media assets from the Interplay Production database.
• View a show's scripts in presenter mode while signed in to your station’s iNEWS newsroom computer system.
• Review and approve markers added to media assets.
If your MediaCentral UX system is licensed for an iNEWS- only configuration, you cannot preview or play sequences or other media assets.
The MediaCentral UX Android application uses one of several connection options, including Wi-Fi or carrier-specific cellular service (such as 4G). If you use an unsecured Wi-Fi connection — for example, a public or mobile network — you must connect to your MediaCentral server through a virtual private network (VPN) connection.
The application automatically selects the first available connection from the list of options according to the priority shown in the list.
