Monitoring a Running Order from Inception

When you start the playout of an NCS running order, Inception uses the MOS protocol to send running order information to all the devices monitoring the running order. Before you playout a NCS running order that you want MOS devices to monitor, you need to select the devices to monitor your running order. An Inception running order must be monitored before it can be opened and played from OverDrive.

Monitored Inception running orders must be re-monitored after a restart of the OverDrive Server.

To monitor an Inception running order for OverDrive:

1.From the main toolbar, click or tap the  Open Running Order icon.

The Select Running Order dialog box opens.

2.Use the Running Orders list to select the running order to open.

3.Click or tap OK.

The selected running order opens in the Running Order panel.

4.In the Running Order panel, click or tap the  Settings icon.

The Edit Running Order dialog box opens.

5.Click or tap the MOS Devices tab. If the MOS Devices tab is not visible, you do not have an NCS license for your Inception Server. You cannot select monitoring MOS devices without an NCS license for your Inception Server.

The MOS Devices tab opens.

6.In the MOS Device Monitors list, select the check box to the right of the Ross OverDrive MOS device.

7.Click OK.

8.In the Running Order panel, click or tap the  Monitor icon.

An Alert opens.

9.Click OK.

Inception start monitoring the Ross OverDrive MOS device, and the  Monitor icon changes to  Unmonitor. The running order in the Running Order panel is made available to OverDrive. When an Inception running order is played out through OverDrive RundownControl, the status of the currently playing shot is reported in the MOS Status column and the Ross OverDrive column of the Inception Running Order table.

To stop monitoring an Inception running order from OverDrive:

1.In the Running Order panel, click or tap the  Unmonitor icon.

An Alert opens.

2.Click OK.

Inception stops monitoring the MOS devices selected for the running order, and the  Unmonitor icon changes to  Monitor.

The running order in the Running Order panel is no longer available to OverDrive.
