Vizrt iNEWS Command Plug-in Administrator Guide
Version 3.0 | Published January 26, 2021 ©
MOS Syntax
Elements are either added as Star CG Syntax elements, or they are added from Viz Pilot (explained in this section).
Note: The Vizrt iNEWS Command Plugin prior to version 2.0 also supported the Broadcast Control Solution (BCS) mode, however this mode is no longer needed.
This workflow type is called MOS elements because when the user drags an element from Viz Pilot to iNEWS, the data transfer is in form of MOS-XML.
You can test this by dragging an item from Viz Pilot to for example WordPad. It is also possible to drag XML from WordPad to iNEWS.
This section contains information on the following topics:
Configuration
