Files
The Files tab of the Assets section lists broadcast files — intros, slates, fallback loops — that the runtime layer can play in place of the program output. The other Assets tab is Logos.
What goes here
A broadcast file is a standalone media file managed by C21 Live Control and reusable across Live streams. The catalogue is flat: a file lives in the global files bucket and any Live stream can pick it up at runtime.
A third API bucket, clips, is produced from the Recordings editor and is not listed in the Assets section.

Runtime use on a Live stream
The runtime cluster on the Live stream options view exposes the Apply blackout action — runtimeApplyBlackout on the API. It replaces the program output with a broadcast file (or a black slate) on the running broadcast without stopping it. Exit the blackout to return to the source.
