Mute controls

Allows the user to mute video only, audio only, or both. The indicator lights red when mute is active. Pressing again unmutes the selection and the indicator goes out.

Load Play

Load play sets the response of the player when a source (stream, clip, or playlist) is loaded. When enabled, the Load Play indicator is blue (shown enabled, below). As soon as a source is loaded, the player immediately begins playback. When disabled (gray), the player waits for user input before beginning playback of a loaded clip or stream.

Press Load Play to toggle the feature on or off.

NOTE: When a stream is loaded from the channel list (see Lists on page 22) using drag and drop in the player controls panel, or via remote access features such as Ethernet, RS-232, wired IR, and the IR remote control handset, the stream or clip plays immediately regardless of the Load Play configuration.

Playlist field

When a playlist is loaded, this field displays the path and file name of the playlist. The full file and path name may be abbreviated to fit the space available. The ellipsis button (...) to the right of the text field opens a dialog to display paths and file names too long for the field to display completely or to edit the names. Playlist path and file names can be copied to or from this field.

To load a playlist:

•Click and hold, then drag a playlist from the browser window to this field.

•Right-click the playlist and select Load.

•Paste a playlist path and filename into this field from the clipboard using <Ctl+C> and <Ctl+V>.

•Select a playlist file from the file tab of the file browser panel (see Browser on page 18).

When the playlist is selected, click Load at the bottom of the panel to bring it into the playlist field.
