Chapter 10: Resource Panel 147
10.1.1 Concepts and Variants
Tip: The template list is alphabetically ordered (ascending). Click the
Name
column
to reverse the order (descending).
The concept drop-down list in the resource panel displays all available concepts,
and is basically used to filter the templates that belong to each concept. When
saving a template, the data element will be stored with the selected concept and
variant. These can be changed later on by the operator when the data element is
added to the
Playlists or by opening the Data element and selecting a different
concept and variant.
Concepts are essentially a means of reusing content for graphics that have the
same properties. Having the same properties enables the template designer to
create one template for several scenes that have the same properties. The
operator is then able reuse the parameters saved with the data element and
switch concepts and variants without re-entering the data for each Data element
in the Playlists.
When using a newsroom system for story creation the journalist is able to select
which concept or variant a specific story is to be aired with. This will save time
before a story is put on air, and consequently pushes the deadline for when a
story is ready for playout to near real-time.
In addition the control room operator has the freedom to override these settings,
in order to reuse any content, as long as the template supports the concept and
variant to be used.
