| Creating a new CG on an auomated system
• | | | |
Kurt -
As I recall, you have dealt with PVTV and Chyron working together in the past, as have I. Recently, I have created two new lower thirds I would like to add to add to our CG list. We have different templates for a 2 line graphic, a one line graphic, a courtesy graphic, and so on and so forth.
Well I have created a two shot graphic. As far as I can tell I have created the proper template fields (for PVTV to insert the proper names where they belong) and the messages are saved as the correct numbers. However, whenever I try to cue up either one of these new CGs, PVTV shows them as red and dont come up when clicked. All of the old graphics, the ones we have used before, are green and they pull up when I double click them.
What step am I missing? Is it something in ScriptViewer? Maybe Chyron? Or am I not telling PVTV something correct?
(PS, we use iNews to convert our TME functions to the rundown, and that is where I enter in the graphics numbers, etc - ScriptViewer then reads that and pulls it up in PVTV's CG column)

Bryant,
Try this - Record the pages at a page under 1000. We sometimes get red PVTV's when I record a tabbed page OVER 1000, and it sometimes Parker won't call it up. We can put non-tabbed pages over 1000 and they call up fine. We've addressed this with Grass Valley - But never heard back. If you ALREADY record them under page 1000, let me know and I'll ask OUR Parker guys - Who are pretty knowledgeable.

Unfortunately, yes. I recorded the graphics as 608 and 609. All of our lower thirds are in the 600-610 range. I would really appreciate you asking your PVTV people. The school I go to really only has one guy who is knowledgable, and I wouldn't trust his knowledge any more than my own; it's been so long since we set this system up.
By the way, what do you mean by tabbed and non tabbed pages?

Bryant,
Make sure that the producer is typing everything in correctly (the forward slash, number system, etc). By tab fields, I meant template fields in which the producer updates....
