Playlist Module List

Registered playlist module data (sequential number, code, type, title, duration, and the number of events in the module) is displayed.

Drag & drop the desired module from here to the playlist.

Also, in the same way as in the Material Management window, you can right-click a piece of material and use a command on the menu, such as [View].

Playlist

Displays a playlist, in which the playlist modules and the external device control events are listed in the order of playout. There is a "Start Time" column at the leftmost edge of the list in which the start time of each module appears, and the "Total" column at the rightmost edge in which the total numbers of the events from the playlist top to that line. The gray strip indicates a break, that is a period during which no material is played out.

A drag & drop operation from the Playlist Module list at the left to the playlist adds/inserts a playlist module at the drop position.

The external device control commands are added to the playlist as the event lines, in the same way as the playlist modules. Right-click the line immediately below the location where you want to insert the external device control command, and select the desired external device control command on the sub-menu of [Insert Control (External Device)].

Note

•In the case of NTSC video, the system regards one second as 30 frames of video signal although it is approximately 29.97 frames (non-drop frame mode). Hence the actual length is longer than the duration indicated for such a playlist module. This error is approximately two frames for one minute and 108 frames (3.3 seconds) for one hour. The system adjusts this error to indicate the start times of the events on the playlist, but there still is a small amount of error (less than one second) between the indication and the actual start time.

•The "Total" column of the playlist shows the total number of events from the top of the playlist to that line. Note, however, that adding a playlist module to the playlist inserts an extra two lines (one line each at the top and bottom of the playlist module, as comment lines), so that the total number increases by 2 + the actual number of the events in the playlist module.

Destination Drop-down List Box, Send and Abort Buttons

The Destination drop-down list box and the Send button are used to specify the destination network player group and send the playlist. The Abort button cancels playlist transfer.
