Detailed channel view¶

Overview¶

The detailed channel view is a UI for manually controlling a single Makalu playout channel. Each playout channel is at least connected to one individually controllable player, that runs on a playout node. If a channel is operated redundantly it is connected to two players (main and backup) which can simultaneously be controlled via the detailed channel view.

Each player seamlessly plays the video content of a linear playout channel based on a rundown, that consists of playlists, shows, and clips. The playlists are created via the Makalu Traffic planning component.

Accessing the detailed channel view¶

To access the Makalu Automation detailed channel view (see section Automation), proceed as follows:

1. Open the Makalu Hub as described in section Accessing the Makalu Hub.

2. In the middle preview column click the name of the channel to be opened.

The detailed view of the selected channel is opened.
