Plan technical signal delivery around the event

A feed task can contain one or more signal deliveries. Each feed has its own technical details and connection path, while the task stays linked to the event.

Event-based feed tasks

Plan the feeds needed for an event without creating a separate feed schedule

Connections and instructions

Define technical details and the ordered connection path for each feed

Changes affect delivery

Time or routing changes can require the feed plan to be reviewed and updated

MCR operators can prepare, execute and complete feed work

The MCR event overview separates upcoming, active and passed work that still needs completion. Operators can review feed details, readiness, connections and incidents without losing the event context.
