Use this panel to view running order script content on a tablet (Apple® iPad®). Using tablets to view running order scripts enables a newsroom to move to a paperless workflow, eliminate running order printouts, and reduce production costs.
The Tablet View panel only displays the Broadcast stories in a running order. Inception automatically updates the Tablet View when other users update the script content of any Broadcast stories in the open running order. The Tablet View does not display floated stories. You cannot use the Tablet View to edit the open running order.
You require an NCS license for your Inception Server to view running orders on a mobile device. The mobile device view of Running Order script content is not available on desktop computers. Please contact Ross Video to purchase an NCS license for your Inception Server.
