Brando resources refer to the scenes defined in an XPression Project. The resource name describes a specific type of Brando graphic, and Brando reads all resources from a channel’s XPression Project file. Using a resource naming convention, Brando is able to distinguish different types of resources such as Bugs, Next, Bumpers, and so on.
Strict resource tagging conventions in the scenes fully detail the options available for these resources. For instance, Snipes can have up to six (6) captions. By having text fields in the scenes with name tags like “Caption1”, “Caption2”, “Caption3”, the content schedulers in Flow will know the number of captions to provide.
Once resources are read from the scenes, they can be scheduled for broadcast through Flow.
A scene will be ignored by Brando until it:
- is properly named using the Brando resource naming convention
- has been brought into Flow using Gears and shows up under its specific type of Brando Resource.
Brando resource types include:
