Aveco systems control user access to data as well as to TV technology. The system administrators can define the access for every user.

Access rights

User access rights may be granted to a single playlist and even to the event sequences within the playlist. For example, the continuity operator is not approved to do changes in commercial breaks. These breaks i turn can be edited by authorized person from sales department, which has no right to edit the rest of the playlist.

Access control rules apply also for videoserver content management. Some operators or some departments see and are able to manage some clips and do not see clips from other departments. And within the departments the operators have granted only the read access while clip purging is dedicated only to selected experts.

Utilizing the TV equipment such as videoserver I/Os, VTRs, even individual router outputs is dedicated to those users which qualify according to the access rights.

Priorities

Device control is allocated to users on a request basis and conflicts between simultaneous requests are handled by user priority or on a first-come first-served basis for users of the same priority level.

Control takeover means the situation when user with lower priority is using the resource (videoserver output channel, for example) and when user with higher priority needs it, he just starts using it. The dialog appears asking whether to take over the control from user XY. After pressing Enter the control is taken over.
