Displaying iNEWS Timing Clocks
MediaCentral UX can display the iNEWS show timing clocks, which provide up-to-the-second information related to an on-air show.
To view the show timing clocks:
1. Click the Pane Menu button located at the top right corner of the Queue/Story pane.
2. Select Show Timing Clocks. When chosen, the pane’s toolbar expands to display three clocks underneath the Queue and Story buttons.
The show timing clocks are blank (as shown) when show timing is off. From left to right, the show timing clocks are:
- Item Countdown: This clock displays the time remaining for the current story.
- Segment Countdown: This clock displays the time remaining until the next hard out.
- Over/Under Clock: This clock displays how much over or under the show is, based on the position of the show timing bar in the rundown—helping to synchronize the rundown to the actual broadcast. The numerals appear red for overtime and green for under or on time.
Displaying the show timing clocks in this manner does not allow a MediaCentral UX user to control the show’s timing. That is done from an Avid iNEWS workstation.
