Content

The Content page shows available content and manages content on the Digital Broadcaster. Use this page to see what content is currently available, to search for specific content, to import new content files, to create continuity playlists of JPG and video files, to create placeholders for content you don’t have yet, and to perform bulk actions on selected content such as normalizing, deleting or categorizing. Two views are available; the default thumbnail view and the table view.

The top of the page shows how many titles appear on this page.  To see more titles, use the drop-down list to select a larger display size.  You may display up to 100 titles per page.  The other drop-down box lets you switch between Thumbnail View and Table View.  The Select All checkbox on the right (Select All on Page n if the content does not fit on one page) lets you check all titles displayed on the page for bulk action. The Deselect All option (Deselect All on All Pages if the content does not fit on one page) lets you uncheck all titles on all pages.  You can use the Select All checkbox and check or uncheck individual boxes across multiple pages.

Note: To select all content on the system, first choose Show 100 per page from the drop-down box. Clear all advanced searches so all titles are displayed. Click the Select All checkbox. Advance to the next page and click the Select All checkbox again.  Repeat for each page.

The Digital Broadcaster comes preloaded with sample MPEG-2 clips. A WEBUS promotion has been preset to be the continuity clip that automatically plays when nothing else is scheduled. To make other files available for playout scheduling, use the Import Content function to import them.

Remember to import only content that is playable on your server. Your content must be encoded to the specifications listed in the Encoding Requirements and Recommendations on page 5.
