New Features in IP/TV Version 3.5
Playing Media Clips Before a Scheduled Event
This new feature of IP/TV Version 3.5 helps program administrators create a set
of programs that plays before the scheduled broadcas t of a live program . Th e
programs are created with the same attributes as those of the live program and
start playing at the time set by the administrator and stop when the live program
starts. Administrators can use this feature to broadcast related programs and
information about the live event in order to keep the audience tuned to the
scheduled broadcast of the live event. This function also helps administrators
verify that users can view the scheduled broadcast: if viewers can view the
program of media clips with no difficulty, then they will be able to view the
broadcast of the live event.
