Operational Logic

As described above, these blocks work in a sequential order, so they will be described following the same principle.

"Creating a Broadcast" Block

Upon entering the "Content on Devices" section, the first thing the user will see is the "Creating a Broadcast" section.

Division of the "Creating a Broadcast" block into zones

This block can also be divided into several zones:

  1. Content working area
  2. Content search area
  3. Content area

Content Working Area

The content working area is quite extensive and difficult to consider as a single system. Therefore, it is better to divide it into categories.

Division of the "Creating a Broadcast" block into zones

The content working area consists of three categories:

  • General broadcast settings
  • Working with the content area
  • Working with the audio track
"General Broadcast Settings" Category

In the general broadcast settings, there is information about the broadcast and several tabs. These data include:

  • Broadcast name - the name of the current broadcast is indicated
  • Broadcast settings - allows setting parameters such as: name, parent folder, specifying the screen width and height. To apply all settings, click the "Save" button.

"Working with the Content Area" Category

In the "Working with the Content Area" category, content is added and configured.
