While creating a new playlist, the Create a New Playlist window will open. This
window makes it possible to enter general and customer-defined data (called
“metadata”) for the playlist.
Window Overview
The New Playlist window is divided into two panes:
• The left pane contains the playlist information, i.e. playlist data in general and
in relation with IPDirector.
It is always displayed.
• The right pane contains the playlist Metadata, i.e. playlist data based on
customer-specific fields.
Clicking the right area in the Pane Display icon will display this right
pane.
Fields in the New Playlist Window
The following table describes briefly the data that can be added to playlists.
The Playlist Information pane contains the following fields:

XNet network. This numbering is based on the numbering of
the LSM operational mode.

VarID VarID is a 32-character ID with variable length and format. It
