Min. time between story update: If no update is received from the NCS within the given minimum time, Viz Mosart will force a story update. Default: 1000 (milliseconds)

Minimum clip length: This value sets the minimum visible length of an offline clip in a story in the GUI. As soon as Viz Mosart receives clip information, the visible length will be updated. Default: 5 (ss:ff)

Network exclude: Manus Administrator will automatically enter idle mode on network failure. This property is a CSV list of network names to ignore when monitoring networks. Default: Empty (monitor all networks)

Network include: Manus Administrator will automatically enter idle mode on network failure. This property is a CSV list of network names to monitor for network failure. Default: Empty (monitor all networks)

Default = 6 frames, i.e. the accessory preload/pretake functions shall take place after the cue operation is done in AvAutomation with an additional and configurable delay of PreloadAccessoryCueDelay frames.

Read Speed: Number of words read per minute by the anchor. (By default, words are taken to be the parts of text separated by space characters. See the setting Use character for read speed word below.) This is applied to prompter text to determine the duration of an announcement and thus the length of the green camera bar and the green part of the voiceover bar in the Viz Mosart GUI.

Use the default selected manus: When enabled will automatically initialize the rundown given in the DefaultManus setting. Default: True

ItemIdGenerator: Default: Empty

Mosart generates internal IDs using a combination of rundown, story and item IDs. Some newsroom systems reuse item IDs between story updates, thus if a new object is inserted before an old object, Mosart will generate the same ID for the new object as the old object had, and the old object will get a new ID. A custom ID generator can be assigned by setting the ItemIdGenerator property in Mosart Server settings.

If there is more than one main newsroom system, the settings parameters MosServer, MosServerBackup, ncsID, and ncsIDBackup should contain space separated lists of values, and the values must be in the same order.

If some of the newsroom systems do not have a backup system, put them last in the list and leave the corresponding values blank for MosServerBackup and ncsIDBackup.

If two newsroom systems are backup for each other, both must be listed both as main and backup, and if one system is backup for more than one main, it must be listed as backup for each of them.

If different newsroom systems need to give Viz Mosart different MOS IDs, the settings parameter mosID should also be a space-separated list of values, in the same order as for ncsID.

Only one space between list values, and all values are case sensitive.
