Clip]
List all clips (*.cpl.xml les) within a folder (X!). If X! is
not a value returned by the GetMediaTree command,
no X@s are listed in the response.
Example: GetMediaClips•720p_422_60_rafting}
Clip•“rafting_720p_5994.cpl.xml”]
Clip]
Load a clip LoadClip•X#•X!/X@} OK]Load a clip to play. This command performs the same
function as the front panel load, see “Playlist and
Clip Files.“ The Play/Pause () button lights. If X!
and X@ are not values returned by the GetMediaTree
command and GetMediaClips command, or if the
media player is not correctly configured for the clip
that you select, the media player responds with ERROR.
Example: LoadClip•1•720p_422_60_rafting/rafting_720p_5994.cpl.xml}Load the rafting clip from the rafting folder to play on
channel 1.
OK]
NOTES: • If the folder name (X!) and the clip name (X@) contain any spaces (•), the entire set of parameters must be enclosed in quotes (“X!/X@“), for example:
LoadClip•1•”720p_422_60_rafting/river•rafting.cpl.xml”].
• Ensure that the media player is congured for 1-channel output before attempting to load 4:4:4 chroma subsampled or stereoscopic content. If the player is configured for
2-channel output mode and 2-channel locked output mode, these formats will not load. Use the Get•VideoMode MSVPP command to check the video mode.
• In 2-channel locked output mode, the files for the two channels must have the same number of frames, resolution, bit depth, and number of audio channel and must use
4:2:2 chroma subsampling. If these conditions are not met, the files will not load.
• If you cannot get a clip to load, see “Setting the clip or playlist to autoplay and view clip info“ in the “HTML Operation” section to view the properties of the clip,
which can help reveal the problem.
• If you load a new clip with a different resolution and frame rate than the currently loaded clip, it can take up to 4 seconds before it is ready to play.

X# = Output 1 = channel 1 2 = channel 2 1,2 = both channels
