You can automatically control when priority streams open and close using Scheduled Event Actions. This allows you to set up remote presenter streams or outside broadcasts to take over at predetermined times.

There are two main ways to configure automatic priority stream control:

Method 1: Using Scheduled Events Go to Manage > Scheduled Events and create events with Change Priority Stream Open State actions. You can set these to trigger at specific times (once, daily, or weekly) to automatically open or close your priority streams.

Method 2: Adding to Playout Log or Clocks Add Scheduled Event Action items directly to your playout log or include them in your clocks. For example, to have a priority stream take over after the news:

• Add a Hard Fixed Time Marker at 00:00
• Add a Scheduled Event Action: Change Priority Stream Open State: Close [All Priority Streams]
• Insert your News track
• Add another Scheduled Event Action: Change Priority Stream Open State: Open 'StreamName'

This will close all priority streams at the start of the hour, play the news, then open your designated stream. You should also add backup tracks after the open action in case the priority stream doesn't connect.

Note: Priority Streams is a premium feature requiring the Advanced Scheduling Module. You can start a two-week trial or purchase the module via Help > Licensing Information.
