<div><strong>Adding New Weather Forecast Bulletins To Your Carousel System</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div>New to Carousel 6.2.2 is the ability to create a weather forecast bulletin. The tutorial on how to create one from scratch is <a href="http://www.trms.com/blog/2011/12/creating-a-5-day-weather-forecast-in-carousel.html">here</a>. The following instructions will guide you through uploading our weather forecast templates to your system. Note: this is a bulletin package and will appear in your Active Bulletins section, not in Weather Templates.</div>
<div></div>
<div><em>You must be running Carousel 6.2.2 for the weather forecast bulletins to work</em></div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Step 1. Download our weather forecast bulletins</strong></div>
<div>If you haven’t already, please download our weather forecast bulletins from the <a href="http://store.trms.com/products/2012-weather-forecast-bulletins">store</a> and unzip only the “2012_WeatherForecastPackage.zip”. You will see individual zips for each aspect ratio (4×3, 16×9, 5x8Vertical, 5×3); keep them zipped.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Step 2. Upload bulletin package</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div><a href="http://blog.trms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/UploadPackage-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1050" src="http://blog.trms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/UploadPackage-1-300x124.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="124" /></a></div>
<div></div>
<div>In Carousel go to the zone you wish to add your weather forecast bulletins and click on “New Bulletin”. Switch to the “Uploaded” tab and select “Upload a bulletin package”. ”Choose” the zip file — make sure you choose the one that best matches the aspect ratio of your zone — and click “Upload. A message will ask you to confirm. Click “OK”.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Step 3. Edit the bulletin</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div>From your Active Bulletins, click on the edit template button. Update the Location and Caption. Ignore the Outlook Length for this bulletin. We recommend that you upload your zone background if you want to keep the bulletin seamless with your channel design. When your backgrounds are loaded (or if you want to skip this part), click on “Continue”.</div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="http://blog.trms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BGs-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1051" src="http://blog.trms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BGs-1-300x247.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="247" /></a></div>
<div></div>
<div>Click “Continue”, then “Finish”, then “OK”. If the alignment looks fine, you are all done!</div>
<div></div>
<div>If the alignment of text and images have shifted, click on the Edit Template button on the top right of the bulletin.</div>
<div></div>
<div><em>You may see a message that reads: </em>“This template is not sized correctly for this zone…”, <em>see the optional step below.</em></div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="http://blog.trms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Resize.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1052" src="http://blog.trms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Resize-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" /></a></div>
<div><em><br />
</em></div>
<div><strong>(Optional) Step 4. Resize Media for zone</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div>If your zone dimensions do not match the bulletin dimensions, you will need to resize the media for that zone. Please use caution though. If you have media in your zone that mismatches the size of your zone, you may see unexpected shifting of text and image blocks in your templates.</div>
<div></div>
<div>To resize your media, click on “Configure” from Carousel’s main menu. Click on “Zones” and select the zone you’re working with. Click “Resize Media”. A message will ask you to confirm. Click “OK”. When it finishes, exit the configuration menu.</div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="http://blog.trms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/ClickResize.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1053" src="http://blog.trms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/ClickResize-300x270.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="270" /></a></div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Step 5. Nudge</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div>It’s possible that the text and image icons shifted after resizing the media. If so, just click on Edit Template and nudge the text and images blocks into place.</div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="http://blog.trms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Nudge.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1055" src="http://blog.trms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Nudge-300x251.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="251" /></a></div>
<div></div>
<div>That’s it! We hope you enjoy the new weather forecast bulletins.</div>

ZEPLAY is the recipient of a 2011 STAR (Superior Technology Award Recipient) Award given by the editorial staff of TV Technology Europe magazine at the 2011 IBC convention.
]]><p>Hey Everyone!</p>
<p>We’re super excited about our recent win at <a href="http://www.ibc.org/">IBC</a> in Amsterdam. ZEPLAY is the recipient of a 2011 STAR (Superior Technology Award Recipient) Award given by the editorial staff of TV Technology Europe magazine at the 2011 IBC convention.</p>
<p>The STAR Award (Superior Technology Award Recipient) is designed to celebrate and showcase the preeminent technological innovations available to the broadcast industry. TV Technology Europe’s editor reviewed a variety of products, examined the technical applications and their overall contribution to the industry, and then chose 25 winners.</p>
<p>“STAR awards are given to interesting new products that help a user save money or accomplish a task in an easier way,” said Mark Hallinger, Editor of TV Technology Europe. “The products selected help advance the industry—-some were chosen because of technical novelty or innovation, some because they filled an important gap in the production or transmission chain, and some because they were just cool products.”</p>
