template is used in Director or Viz Pilot to create data elements that are added to a
playlist for playout. A template is based on one or several (transition logic) Viz Artist
scenes.
• Transition Logic Scene: A set of scenes built in Viz Artist. Consists of a
background scene and one or several front scenes. It contains one scene that
controls the state of or toggles a set of scenes (layers). The layered scenes are
used by the controlling scene to toggle in and out the layered scenes, using preconfigured or customized transitions effects, without the need to take scenes
already on-air, off-air. For example; A lower third may be on-air at the same time
as a bug, and the lower third may be taken off-air without taking the bug off-air or
reanimating it.
