ZEN Master May 25 Release Notes

features the following new features were implemented in this release o additional stage transition controls for live events (zm 6048 skyuk) o live event stage controls have been updated to provide more control and allow changes while an event is active, and to allow mixing manual and automated stage transitions creation changes · the event staging mode now sets the default for each stage, which can be overridden on a per stage basis · toggling the default will switch all existing stages and be obeyed by any further stages added · users can override the default for each stage, allowing for a live event where, if needed, specific stage transition settings can differ from the default · the previous start time of the event is now simply the start time of the first stage · newly created events will require manual stages to have a notional start time even if set to manual o active event changes · the event will automatically start on time if the first stage is ‘auto’, else it will require an operator to initiate the event with confirmation all future transitions will behave similarly, based upon the auto or manual configuration of the next stage transition · when starting a manual stage, or any manual advance, the user is now presented a confirmation dialog that offers the operator a chance to keep all future stage transitions at their scheduled time, or to keep their scheduled durations and adjust the start times accordingly events can be edited in progress via the edit button above the timeline · finally, note that the api is backward compatible, and all existing event creation calls will work as prior in practice · all existing and familiar event stage flow are maintained, simply by setting the default of the event, or each stage to either manual or auto the event will proceed as normal · however, operators are now able to set each stage transitions separately according to an events requirement for example · sporting events start on time, but the end is usually not fixed o here, the event can be configured to have an auto start time and a manual end o now the stream can start automatically on time, and deliver the program feed, but will not end before an operator manually confirms the end point · schedule changes require alterations to the stage length while the event has already started · secondly, operators can adjust all future transitions accordingly · if a game planned to automatically start is suddenly delayed, an operator can switch to manual · however, when the operator eventually does move to the next stage, they can adjust stage start times accordingly, as each period will have a corresponding delay · if on the other hand a broadcaster suddenly needs to start early for an unscheduled on field attraction or incident, the official start times of the periods can be maintained scte 35 manipulation controls on sources (zm 6310 – impact networks) o when enabling scte insertion (via the api), zen master now adds support for scte manipulation controls on sources and failover channels once enabled, it is now possible to dictate the pid into which the scte will be inserted o an existing scte pid can be removed in place of a new pid or replaced with a null packet pid additional improvements and changes the following additional improvements and changes were implemented in this release o expose scte 35 controls on failover channels (zm 6413 skyuk) o scte 35 log updated to show correct pre roll and pts values taking pts adjustment into account (zm 6375 – skyuk) o optimized zm/bx api calls to improve performance of orchestration actions (zm 6332 internal) o implemented paginated loading to targets list to improve ui responsiveness (zm 6164 internal) o ui polish (zm 5724, zm 6248, zm 6201, zm 6276,

video) esni o made xml namespace optional (zm 6397 internal) o support for id in esni create/update api (zm 6349 – fox, encompass, skyuk) o added non standard validation endpoints for scte 224 xmls (zm 6400 internal) o fixed issues asserting on some scte 35 fields (zm 6363 skyuk) api the following updates were implemented in the zen master api api additions o created a bulk targets to channel assignment endpoint (zm 6212 – ses/mx1) o pass through channels only for now zen master api documentation updates for the following sections o pid mapping profiles o add map range (zm 5815) o review
