Besides importing/exporting broadcast playlists and the events scheduled on them, Etere is also able to process the secondary events related to said events (e.g. logos, epg, etc), for instance using the XML export function.
Here below is illustrated the format of the XML file used to import/export information on scheduled events:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<data datetime="2013-05-20 15:47">

Note: The <TSEC> tag is used for sec. events related to scheduled events, whereas the <FSEC> tag is used for those directly related to assets.
Exported data
The figure below illustrates the relationship between Etere fields and XML data, managed during the export and import of secondary events (e.g. asynchronous titles):
Hmfile_hash_6fc858ca
Information regarding specific fields including in the export can be found on the chapter Fields used during Import/Export.
Supported types
All secondary events supported by the Etere import/export are described along this chapter:
