LiveOS

LiveOS is a software and IP-based solution for local and remote live media production of news, sports, entertainment, and events. Loopic seamlessly integrates with the LiveOS, ensuring smooth compatibility. For comprehensive details regarding each template definition parameter, we recommend consulting the official LiveOS documentation.

Exporting​

When exporting the template for production (directly to the LiveOS system), choose the templates package folder within the root LiveOS templates directory as the destination. If the folder doesn't exist, create it manually. Loopic automatically generates both the template HTML file and the templates.json metadata file. Depending on the settings, Loopic may also update the templates.json file if it already exists (refer to the Composition settings section for more details).

For testing purposes, you are free to select any folder of your choice when exporting the template.

caution

Disable Debug tools when exporting the template for production use.

Composition settings​

Composition settings encompass global settings for LiveOS template definition:

  • Update Templates Manifest: Loopic can update existing templates.json file with the new template definition or wipe the old data.
  • Embed Debug Tools: Determines if debug tools suitable for testing the template in non-LiveOS environments should be embedded into the template. Must be disabled when exporting templates for production.
  • Name: Name of the template.
  • Description: Description of the template.
  • Z Index: Specifies the layer where the template should be displayed.
