Adding a Maestro Graphic to an iNEWS Story
 
You can add a Maestro graphic to an iNEWS story within MediaCentral UX. The graphic is added as a numbered production cue, which represents a MOS object. During a show, a Maestro operator needs to play the graphic manually, unless a timecode cue is set in the Maestro graphic (see Viewing and Working with Maestro Templates). After you save the story, you can synchronize the rundown by using the Maestro Controller to update the playlist and values of the controls of the pages.
*For information about synchronizing Maestro graphics to a MediaCentral UX sequence, see Synchronizing Broadcast Graphics with a MediaCentral | UX Sequence.
To add a Maestro graphic as a production cue:
1. Click the drag-and-drop button in the bottom left of the Maestro Browser window, drag the icon to the Queue/Story pane, and drop it on a segment of an iNEWS story.
A production cue is created in the cue list. An asterisk indicates that the cue is a machine control instruction. In the following illustration, “Orad” refers to the MOS object name and “Generic_Score” refers to the name of the graphic template.
2. Save the story.
You can set an option in Maestro to automatically update the MOS playlist after saving a story and open the graphics template in Maestro. For more information about MOS synchronization, see the Maestro Controller documentation.
3. You can double-click the production cue text to open the graphic in the Maestro Browser pane and edit it. In this case, a Save button is displayed in the bottom row of the Maestro Browser pane.
