After choosing the operational pattern you can adjust the number of parallel packages
(the number of source packages that will be played simultaneously) with the control box
(2) and the number of play-list packages (the number of source packages that will be
played sequentially) with the control box (8). The view (9) is a summary of the material
package of the MXF file. It represents the output timeline of your MXF file.
In the drop-down box (4) you can select one of the source packages and edit its content.
In the list box (6) you will find a summary of the media files embedded in the current
package. You can remove some of them by selecting them and clicking on Remove (12).
In order to add a media file to that package, click on Add (13). This will open a new dialog
where you will be able to select a single file sequence (dv, dif, mpg, imx, etc.) or a multi-
file sequence (j2k, bmp, etc.).
