Introduction: Installing a Gateway
Prerequisites
The Sofie Core is the primary application for managing the broadcast, but it doesn't play anything out on it's own. A Gateway will establish the connection from Sofie Core to other pieces of hardware or remote software. A basic setup may include the Spreadsheet Gateway which will ingest a rundown from Google Sheets then, use the Playout Gateway send commands to a CasparCG Server graphics playout, an ATEM vision mixer, and / or the Sisyfos audio controller.
Installing a gateway is a two part process. To begin, you will add the required Blueprints, or mini plug-in programs, to Sofie Core so it can manipulate the data from the Gateway. Then you will install the Gateway itself. Each Gateway follows a similar installation pattern but, each one does differ slightly. The links below will help you navigate to the correct Gateway for the piece of hardware / software you are using.
