Using the Ad Trigger in iHigh Production Truck

CLICK HERE to view the iHigh Production Truck video tutorial.  To skip to a desired section, scroll to the time stamp noted below.

Ad Trigger (Skip to 3:30 in the tutorial)

Let's look at the Ad Trigger section of Production Truck.  There are 6 different segment lengths to choose from - just click the length you will need for your commercial break.

After clicking the Ad Trigger, there will be a brief countdown before the ads begin to play.

After the commercial break begins, you will see another countdown clock.  This clock lets you know how much time you have before the break is over and you return to your broadcast.  When the commercial break is finished playing, your broadcast will automatically resume.

Local Ads (Skip to 4:25 in the tutorial)

In order to play your own local ad, you must first play 2 ad trigger spots.  You are allotted one local ad for every two ad trigger spots played.

After the second Ad Trigger spot has played, you will now be able to play your local spot.  Just select the local ad you want, and click "play."  You will see another brief countdown while the Local Spot is cued up.  At the end of the countdown, it will automatically play.  And just like the Ad trigger spots, you will see another countdown clock to let you know how much time you have before the break is over and you return to your broadcast.
