Playlist Conditional Mode
This mode is only available in 2PGM and 3PGM modes. It allows the operator to
load and control several playlists simultaneously from the same Remote Panel, or
to load a playlist on one channel while performing other operations on the other
channel(s). To use this mode, the “Load Playlist” parameter of the setup menu
must be set to “Conditional” (p.4.2 F5).
To use this mode, select one channel (for example PGM1), and press the PLST
key once, twice or three times to enter the PLST EDIT or the PLST DIFF mode
(refer to the “Playlist Management” Section of this manual for details about these
modes). You can notice that the TAKE key button lights green. Pressing the TAKE
key will allow the operator to return to the PGM selection menu, and select
another PGM channel where he can start a replay, load a clip or another playlist,
etc.
In this mode, if the operator selects a PGM channel where a playlist is loaded and
presses the TAKE key, he will enter again the PLST EDIT or PLST DIFF mode.
When playlists are loaded on all channels currently controlled by the operator in
MULTI PGM mode, the TAKE key lights red. If the TAKE key is pressed, the
remote will enter a specific PLST DIFF mode, where the operator can control
several playlists simultaneously, and browse them or roll them in sync. NEXT and
SKIP functions are also available and will apply on all controlled playlists. The
TAKE button will not light red if one of the controlled channels does not contain a
playlist.
Practical example
The operator builds a playlist with Fills and another playlist with Keys. He sets the
“Playlist Load” parameter to “Conditional” in the setup menu, then enters the
2PGM mode, selects the Fills playlist as current playlist, presses A to gain control
on PGM1, presses PLST two or three times to enter the PLST DIFF mode and cue
up the Fills playlist to its 1st clip. Then he presses the TAKE key to return to the
PGM selection menu, selects the Keys playlist as current playlist, presses B to
gain control on PGM2, presses PLST two or three times to enter the PLST DIFF
mode and cue up the Keys playlist to its 1st clip. Then he presses the TAKE key
to return to the PGM selection menu, presses D to gain control on both PGM
channels, then presses TAKE to enter the PLST DIFF menu. He will see on the
LCD screen the content of both playlists side by side, and can browse them or
play them in Sync at any speed, and perform SKIP and NEXT commands as
needed.
