into account the current speed, and the transition information

(effect duration and play-list elements speed, if the speed is
unknown, the speed of the previous element will be used to
calculate the value, if this is also unknown, then the previous
elements speed must be used etc,).

On-air time Display

The on-air time display for each element is to provide
information about when an element will be played out to air.

The on-air time calculation takes into account:
• The start time and position in the play-list that the play out

was started.

• The effect durations in the list
• The speed of the elements in the play-list

If the on-air time cannot be calculated due to the play-list not
currently being played (or because of still and start modes used
in the list) ‘--:--:--:--‘ is displayed

Display options in the elements area

When the operator right-clicks in the list or on its column header,
the following contextual menu is displayed:

Show/Hide column header: This option offers the choice of
showing or hiding the column header on the top of the on-air list.
By default, this item is unchecked and the columns header is not
displayed.

Organize: A popup window is opened allowing the selection of
columns to display and in which order. The same style of window
appears as in other IP Director displays.
