Configuring Custom Metadata

Custom metadata configuration enables you to define attributes to associate with following Inception entities:

•Assignments

•Contacts

•Playlists

•Playlist elements

•Running Orders

•Running Order Element

•Stories

The custom attributes that you define are local to your Inception system and independent of standard Inception attributes. Custom attributes are included in MOS messages and RSS feeds sent out from your Inception Server. This feature also provides a method of representing cross-product metadata.

You require an NCS license for your Inception Server to configure custom metadata. Please contact Ross Video to purchase an NCS license for your Inception Server.
