Click on the Add New Show button to start setting up a new show using an existing published project.
A show is the component selected for broadcast by the Chameleon Ticker manually or through a channel schedule.
Shows specify a published graphics package, a Rundown set of content, and graphic elements including bugs and backgrounds. Shows in Chameleon can be any length of time. Shows are also know as rundown packages.
You can create shows in Chameleon from the Home menu, under Ticker, select Shows.
Shows support one of two project formats: Web and XPression. When you first open the Shows page it will default to showing the Web format shows. You can select a different format in the Project Format drop down list. The next time you return to the Shows page - it will remember your selection (using cookies).
Once you have selected the correct Project Format for your purposes you can add new shows and edit existing shows.
