Below there are the commands supported by Etere to be used in script (.CTM) files:
Initialize - This command initializes the primary/secondary event to be sent on-air.
Case 1: Trigger a primary event and its related secondary events:
Initialize(PrimaryId=TPALID6939114)
Case 2: Trigger a secondary event only:
Initialize(PrimaryId=TPALID6939114, SecondaryId=421546)
Take - This command sends on-air a primary/secondary event.
Case 1: Trigger a primary event and its related secondary events:
Take(PrimaryId=TPALID6939114)
Case 2: Trigger a secondary event only:
Take(PrimaryId=TPALID6939114, SecondaryId=421546)
Continue - This command continues executing a secondary event; this command is used for secondary events that display split animations.
Case 1: Continue split secondary event:
Continue(PrimaryId=TPALID6939114, SecondaryId=421546)
Out - This command removes a secondary event from the on-air.
Case 1: Remove secondary event:
Out (PrimaryId=TPALID6939114, SecondaryId=421546)
NB: The driver only sends commands to the current daily playlist, which must be in "run" mode to process orders (otherwise, they will be ignored).
Example of use
Vizrt scripts can be created in Etere under the section "Etere Configuration > Settings > Devices > Script Strings"; the following example illustrates a CTM script implemented to send on-air secondary events:
