1.0 Introduction

The Pixellot CMS is the primary tool for managing Client / Team / Event configuration.  Due to the comprehensive nature and complexity of this system, this document is an evolving document.  This version covers basic functionality. 
The CMS contains data and meta data for every event, including interface to view and update Event and Video records. 
This powerful system enables the user to view and manage Video and Graphic content, which then seamlessly updates the relevant Web Site via the OTT API. 
The CMS manages configuration for both live and on-demand video content, team logos, posters, and advertisements, and much more.  
This CMS Administrator's Guide covers the system features and configuration options.
Other systems which integrate into the CMS, such as SPALK, LIGR, OTT, etc..., are covered in other manuals. 

This Guide follows the CMS Menu.
