Note
Once a play-list had been allocated a channel for the
first time, the play-list has an identity on the XNet and
is declared on-line. It could then be called to air by
anyone with the user rights to control it, so care must
be taken when editing the list.
If the None option is selected from the menu, or if a channel
name is double-clicked, the channel name will be disassociated
and will also be removed from the tab ident. It will however still
be an on-line play-list as its data is now stored within the XT
server network in an XT play-list number and will still be visible
on the XNet.

A play-list tab in Idle state is when it is not loaded to an output
of an XT server. All functions are dimmed and inactive with the
exception of the channel name function, which can still be
accessed. Clips can still be added or removed, transition types
and durations can be modified but changes cannot be viewed on
the XT output if the play-list is in Idle state.
Play-Lists initially placed onto a tab are in Idle state, but if they
have been made active a right-click on the tab area will show the
contextual menu to return the play-list to an idle state.
Note
A channel can still remain allocated to the tab in
preparation for the play-list to be loaded to an output
when the Play-List tab made active again.

To change the channel allocated to a tab, right-click on the
Channel Name area of the tab and this opens a contextual menu
showing the XT channels that are available to the IP Director
workstation. This contextual menu varies depending on the ‘View
XT Structure’ settings (see Section “Menu Bar” in part 1 of this
User Manual). By selecting an available channel this will be
allocated to the play-list if certain conditions are met to enable
the allocation.
