Shows



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 Rundowns > Shows.

Add New Show

  1. Click Add a New Show.
  2. Enter a show Name.
  3. Select a Rundown or a Project (also known as your graphics package):
    1. Selecting a Rundown first automatically assigns the Project. You don't have to have a completed rundown set ready at this time. You can also enter a new Rundown set name in the field and use the Rundown module to create the rundown at a later time.
    2. Selecting a Project first automatically filters the Rundown list for the project to only those defined for that graphics package.
  4. Select the Bugs and Backgrounds you want to include in your show. You must have a Project selected in order to see available graphic elements for that project.
  5. Specify a URL to display in a selected bug or background if the graphic designer included a placement for it.
  6. Specify an Offset to set the time zone offset for broadcasts in regions outside of the data server time zone.

  7. Select a Content Group from the list to make this show available only to that content group. Content Groups are created and managed in the User Setup > Manage Content Groups module.
