asset management<br />
Graphical assets are ingested onto the Xmedia<br />
Server for archiving. Assets can be managed using<br />
rule-based publishing to intelligently distribute the<br />
assets, thereby preventing a wide range of on-air<br />
presentation errors. The Xmedia Server also manages<br />
and distributes live graphics data from external<br />
feeds to the Vertigo XG graphics processors.<br />

Template authoring<br />
<strong>Graphics</strong> templates are created by the graphics team<br />
in advance using Xstudio, along with a database of<br />
supporting images so that news story graphics can<br />
be built quickly using the templates. The templates<br />
can combine data-driven graphics, animations, DVE<br />
effects and audio <strong>control</strong>s. Built-in business logic<br />
can <strong>control</strong> graphics according to data, such as<br />
arrow colors for financial graphics.<br />

<strong>Graphics</strong> preparation<br />
Journalists create graphics to support their stories<br />
using Xnews, a NRCS plug-in, which allows fast<br />
access to templates and image libraries from within<br />
the NRCS application (see page 22).<br />
<strong>Graphics</strong> distribution<br />
Pre-prepared graphics pages are sent to the Xmedia<br />
Server for archiving and distribution to the Vertigo<br />
XG processors. Templates for live data are pushed to<br />
the Vertigo XG processors, ready to be populated.<br />

The NRCS sends scheduling information to the<br />

<strong>playout</strong> of complex graphics sequences.<br />
Xplay recalls graphics pages, and drives dynamic<br />
news sequences, with live data mapped to the<br />
appropriate graphic template fields.
