Can you explain all the fields on the Show Record screen?

Show ID: This is filled in for you. It is the one thing (besides the title) that you should associate with your show because it is the only thing
guaranteed to be unique about it. Cablecast generates this number
when the show is created and it cannot be changed.

Local ID: The local ID is a number you can enter if you have an existing database that has an identifier you would like to track. This field is not guaranteed to be unique between show records so is therefore less reliable
than the show ID.

Title: The Title is used for internal representation of your program. If
nothing is entered into the CG Title field, then this field is copied into
it so that both internal and external representation of this show is
covered by what you type here.

CG Title: CG Titles are public titles. They are used when Carousel needs to display a title for a show that it is advertising or when Cablecast is showing information on its public web site.

Project: If you would like, you can link this show record to a project. Click the Link project button to search for the project this show belongs to.
This will bring up the project search form, where selecting a show will
link the project to this show record.
To unlink a project that you accidentally associated with this show
record, click the Unlink Project link.

Show Files: You can add files to a show record. This is a nice way to organize information with a show record, like release documents, crew lists,
meeting agendas, etc.

CG Exempt: When you check this box, you are setting a default for this show when it is scheduled.
This means that whenever this show is scheduled the little E will
appear, designating that the show will not be advertised on the web
site, Carousel’s Cable Display Plug-in, iCal, RSS or any other public output. It also means that Cablecast will not add the the interstitial
time to the end of a program when it is scheduled.



Format: The format is the format of the reel. This is what Cablecast will use to determine the methods that it uses to cue the media and which
devices are able to play it back.

Length: The Length is the length of the show on this reel.

Cue: The Cue is the either the time code of the start of the show or the amount of time that needs to pass before the show begins on this reel,
depending on the type of media that you are playing.

Link Media: To associate a reel with an existing media record, like when you have
a DVD with more than one show on it, click the Link Media button on
the right. This will open the Media Search form, where you’ll enter
your search criteria. Once you find the media record, click on its title. This will bring you back to the show record with the updated media record.



Event Date: Generally, this field describes when the program was shot. That is, when the meeting took place or when the football game was played. Click the '...' to reveal a helpful calender.

Category: If a category fits this show record, select it from this pop-down list.

Producer: Select the producer of this show here.

Comments: Comments go here.

Custom Fields (1-8): If you have any custom fields, they will appear here.



Live IP Exempt: If you do not want to stream this show on your live streaming server, you can have Cablecast turn your live streaming server’s stream off during the playback of this show.

Podcast Exempt: If this show is part of a project that has a podcast, you will see the Podcast Exempt check box. Checking this box instructs Cablecast to forgo making a podcast of this individual show. The rest of the shows in this project will be available for download, provided their Podcast Exempt checkbox is not checked.

On Demand: If you wish to make this file available via WindowsMedia streaming, then check the On Demand checkbox.

Transcoding Quality: If you’ve checked the On Demand checkbox, then the Transcoding Quality pop-down list appears. You can specify a quality setting or use the Category Default option, which uses the settings associated with the current category.
