Detailed Channel View¶

Overview¶

The Detailed Channel View is a UI for manually controlling a single Makalu playout channel. Each playout channel is connected to at least 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 using 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. Playlists and shows can be created using either the Detailed Channel View (for short-term rundown changes) or the Makalu Traffic planning component (for long-term/strategic planning).
