Assign the Player to a Channel and Allocate the Overlay to a Schedule

Any Players that have been added to a client in Mediacaster must be assigned to a channel. To create a channel right click ‘Channels’ in the Weather client in the tree menu an select ‘New’.

 

 

In the form that appears enter a name for the channel and select the player you have just configured. Click the ‘>>’ button to move the Player into the ‘Selected Players’ column.

 

Click ‘Save’.

We will create a very simple schedule to play the overlay. Right click on ‘Schedules’ on the tree menu under the Weather client and select ‘New’.

 

In the schedules form that appears enter a name for your schedule in the ‘Description’ field and choose the channel you have just assigned the Player to by clicking the drop down list next to ‘Channel’. You will be presented with a calendar view of the present time.

 

 

To add your overlay to the schedule click the ‘New’ button at the bottom of the form.

 

 

Click the ‘Overlay’ drop down list in the form that appears. Select the Weather overlay that you designed, alter the time range of when you would like the overlay to play and click ‘Save’. It should now appear in the overlay list in the schedule view. Click ‘Save’.
