Adding Notes to Media Items in Myriad Playout 6

Myriad Playout 6 allows you to attach rich, categorized notes to any media item. These notes can serve multiple purposes — from internal reminders to content metadata intended for external platforms such as RDS or web displays.

This guide shows you how to view, add, and manage notes using the Notes Tab in the Media Item Edit Window.

? Accessing the Notes Tab

1. Select the media item on the Media Wall

2. Click Edit

3. Navigate to the Notes tab
   
   

This tab will display any existing notes already attached to the item and allow you to add more Notes.

➕ Adding a New Note

1. Click the Add Note button for the type of Note you want to add.
   
   
   

2. Type your note content into the editor
   
   
   
   

You can use notes for:

• Presenter reminders (e.g., "Do not play after 6PM")

• Technical details (e.g., "Mono source, normalize before use")

• External info for automation systems (e.g., RDS, web, social captions)

? Scheduling Notes (Optional)

You can control when a note is shown using the date and time fields:

• From Date/Time: The note becomes active at this point

• To Date/Time: The note expires after this time

• Leave these blank if the note should always be visible

? Timed notes are useful for time-sensitive promos, seasonal content, or broadcast alerts.

? Categorizing Notes by Type

Each note can be categorized under a note type, including:

• AI Voice Link Script

• Digital Radio

• Web

• Social Media

• Technical

This categorization helps determine where or how the note is used — for example, whether it's shown to presenters or exported to external systems.

? Saving Your Notes

Once your notes are added and configured:

• Click Save to attach them to the media item

• Notes will now be visible to anyone editing or scheduling that item, and used appropriately based on their type

✅ Summary

The Notes Tab in Myriad Playout 6 helps enhance your metadata and streamline internal and external communication by letting you:

• Add multiple categorized notes

• Schedule note visibility over time

• Support automation platforms with rich metadata

Using notes effectively ensures your team and systems have the right context for every media item.
