Setting Up a Automated File Broadcast Program
To set up a Automated File Broadcast program:
1 Under Start Listing, select when you want the program to begin being
listed on the Program Browser.
Depending on how the Polycom VMC 1000 appliance is configured to
update the programming cache, it may take a few minutes for the program
to become visible to Viewers. You can choose to not list the program yet
(save as a draft for publishing later).
2 Under End Listing, enter an expiration date/time if you would like the
program to expire at a certain date.
When this time is reached, the program will no longer be listed on the
Program Browser or available to Viewers.
3 You can choose to suspend the program. This will remove it from the
Viewer page and make it unavailable to Viewers, but will retain the
program in its current channel for later reuse.
4 Under Broadcast Times, click the Add button to enter multiple start
times for this program. Be sure to check the checkbox for any dates you
want to add.
5 Click Next to continue.
Adding Program Media
To add Program Media:
1 To add a program image (thumbnail) to be displayed on the Program
Browser, click the Select icon in the Image section.
Clicking the Select button takes you to the Content Repository.
2 From the Content Repository, click on the thumbnail you want to use.
Click Save. If you don't select a thumbnail, the system uses the default
thumbnail set by your system administrator (typically a company logo).
3 To associate streaming media with this program, click the Streaming icon
in the Streaming Media section.
The Content Repository appears. The Content Repository filters media
items to show only the appropriate streaming item types that you can add
to the program type.
4 In the Content Repository, highlight the items you want to add and click
the right arrow button to select the items.
You can associate more than one streaming file with any program.
5 Click the Save button.
