Time Until Transition
The Time until transition information is the remaining time till the next element
starts.
It is calculated taking into account the current speed.
Time Until Next Break / Time Until Next Unavailable Element
This field can be used in two ways, depending on the Remaining Time
Information setting defined in the Playlist General settings:
• The Time until next break information is the remaining time till the next break
in the playlist.
If the playlist has no break, the remaining time till the end of the playlist is
displayed.
If the playlist elements still to be played include virtual elements (without
timecodes defined), no remaining time will be displayed.
• The Time until next unavailable element information is the remaining time till
the next playlist element that is unavailable on the XNet network.
It is also calculated taking into account the current speed, and the transition
information (effect duration and playlist 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 element speed must be used etc,).
Note
If the Playlist has a LOOP defined in the middle, the time until next break
may not display a value due to the type of LOOP in use.
