Playlist save/open/new
Playlists can be saved or opened using the ‘Save playlist’ or ‘Open playlist’ toolbar icons or the Save playlist, Save playlist as, and Open Playlist menu items in the ‘File’ menu. Playlists are saved as .odp files. The last used playlist will be opened automatically when OmniTek XR starts up.
Use the New playlist menu item in the ‘File’ menu to create a new blank playlist.
Note: Since the playlist is only a set of ‘instances’ of patterns, it is important for the ‘source’ patterns to be fully available in the current configuration. If a playlist item is not found in the current configuration, an error message will be displayed.
Important Notes:
1.When a playlist is playing, the video generator settings are changed to the ones specified for the current item. If the user changes the video generator settings within the Engineering Settings control window, these will not affect the current settings because the playlist uses its own version of the settings for the current item. The normal engineering settings will not have any effect until the playlist is exited.
2.There are a number of occasions where a playing playlist will be stopped:
•An item is added, edited or deleted
•The pattern in the Generator window is changed
•The order of the items in the Playlist window are changed
•A new Generator configuration is created, or a new configuration is loaded
•A source pattern used in the playlist is deleted from the Generator configuration
•A source pattern used in the playlist is loaded into SDRAM
•A new playlist is created or a playlist is loaded
•The video standard is changed.
