When the audio clip, still image, or video clip you want to add to Broadcast story does not exist on a MOS device, you can add a MOS object placeholder to the story for the media. The added MOS object placeholder sends a request to the MOS device to create a MOS object for the placeholder in the Broadcast story. After the MOS device operator creates the requested MOS object, Inception exchanges the MOS object placeholder with the new MOS object.
