Image of a primary event header

When a take is started, the timer on the right side of the primary event header switches to "ON AIR", indicating that the primary is now in progress.

The progress bar tracks how much of a primary event has been completed, and how much is left.

Monitoring Errors and Warnings

Errors present in the Channel Branding Client will be directly reflected in Channel Deck.

Two levels should be taken into account:

Error

images/download/thumbnails/130555091/image2023-3-13_17-8-31.png

When a channel view and a primary event have red borders, an error is present in a primary that is currently being played out and needs to be addressed urgently.

Warning

images/download/thumbnails/130555091/image2023-3-13_17-14-59.png

When a channel view and a primary event have yellow borders, it means that primaries that are planned for take or have been played out, contain errors and should be addressed before a take.

Three example images of primaries with errors and warnings:

  1. An ON AIR primary, and a planned take of a primary in a warning state with a warning message "Timecode is missing"

    The "Display name" can be pressed to present or hide the error/warning log
