Preparing media items for playout

When you delete a media file instead of an asset, iTX does not automatically delete any assets

that the file is associated with. So, if we delete the broadcast and proxy files in our example,

the video clips are left with no file links:

For this reason, when you want to delete an asset completely, we recommend you delete just

the database asset and allow iTX to delete the media.

Warning when a user deletes an asset in iTX that is in a live schedule

If either a parent or a co-reference asset is part of a live schedule or a schedule that is loaded

into a live channel, the operator will receive a warning in the deletion dialog informing them

which channel or channels the asset is scheduled on, along with the time and date that the first

instance is due on air.

The user is given the option to delete the selected asset or the selected asset and all associated

co-referenced assets.

Re-ingesting a media file

If you place a new media file in the Inbox and it has the same name as a media file for which

there is a database asset, iTX replaces the original media file with the new one on the Media

Store; it links the database asset to the new file; it assigns the media ID of the original file to the

new file.

User rights

What rights you have to work with an asset depend on what permissions are assigned to you

on that asset. In general, most operators have the right to view and modify assets, such as

change their in- and out-points, but not to delete them. Permission to delete assets is normally

given to special groups of operators, such as media managers.
