Live Switch Events

An event can be configured to run on the Cinegy Playout engine startup in Cinegy Encode mode. Cinegy Encode can handle all types of secondary events. For example, this could be a channel logo, added as basic overlay or Cinegy Titler graphics.

To add a secondary event, for example, to overlay Cinegy Titler graphics on the live feed immediately on its start, the Cinegy Titler templates rendering should be enabled and Live switch events should be configured. You will also need a template previously created via the Cinegy Titler application.

In the "CG" tab of the Cinegy Playout Configurator, select "Cinegy Titler" from the "CG and Channel Branding option" drop-down list to enable playout of Cinegy Titler graphics:

In the "Live switch events" tab, select the "Generate events on the live switch" option and specify the required parameters in the "Event on enter" configuration section only:

For Cinegy Titler template displaying, use the following configuration:

The "Device" should be *GFX_LOGO or *GFX_n, where n is a graphics layer number in the 0-8 range.

The "Command" is SHOW.

In the "Op1" field specify the Cinegy Titler template location.

The "Op2" field can contain the variables definition; the sample syntax is as follows:

<variables><var name="Var_text" type="Text" value="Text" macros="Text"/></variables>
