Appendix: JSON Scripting Directly > Ingesting into Delta

Once the JSON file has been created, copy it into C:\7thsense\JSON name it media.json.

To trigger Delta to generate the timeline, either:

•use the LOADMEDIAJSON TL=x external control (x = the number of the timeline onto which to load the show), or use the web API:

•http://[server IP]:80/api/delta/rpc/loadMediaJSON?tl=x

This takes one argument, “tl=x” where x is the number of the timeline you want to populate. This does not have to match the “tlToEdit” field in the top level of the JSON file. “tlToEdit” specifies which of the timeline objects to process from the JSON file, whereas the tl argument to the LOADMEDIAJSON command specifies which timeline within Delta onto which to load content.

If you wish to populate multiple timelines, then it is recommended to store all the timelines in media.json (as tl-1, tl-2, etc.) and load them one at a time by updating “tlToEdit” to point to the desired timeline, and calling LOADMEDIAJSON TL=X to upload it to the correct timeline in Delta.
