Jump on Time Characteristics
Hereafter are some properties of the jump-on-time option:
• It is only valid for playlists, not for clips, trains, growing clips nor timelines.
• It can be defined on an off-line playlist, as far as the playlist is loaded on a
channel before playout.
• It is possible to define a jump-on-time condition for several elements of the
same playlist. Elements will be played in a chronological order according to time
defined for the jump-on-time.
• The jump-on-time condition can be defined for an element inside a partial loop.
If the playlist is being played within the loop at the time defined for the jump on
time and if a counter exists on the loop, the counter is reset when the jump on
time happens.
• The element on which a jump-on-time is defined will be played with the speed
defined for it.
• If the element on which a jump-on-time is defined is already playing, the jump
on time condition is discarded.
• If a jump on time is defined on a virtual element that is not restored when the
clip is supposed to start, the jump on time is not taken into account.
• If a virtual element is loaded on the player channel, and if a start on time is
defined on this element, the start on time will be discarded when the element is
supposed to play.
• If the playlist is in PAUSE or EDIT mode, the element on which a jump-on-time
is defined will be played with the speed defined for it but without its transition
parameters (A/V effect and duration).
• If the playlist is loaded on a channel later than the time defined for the jump-on-
time, the playout of the element will not be triggered.
• When a playlist is being played, the “remaining time until next transition” and
“remaining time until next break”, will be adapted taking into account the jump-
on-time condition.
Limitation for the Use of Jump on Time and/or Start on Time
• Several triggers cannot be defined for the same playlist element, i.e. two jump-
on-time conditions, two start-on-time conditions or a start-on-time condition and
a jump-on-time condition.
Defining a new condition will remove or overwrite the first one.
• Several triggers with the same time and date cannot be defined for the same
playlist.
• Two triggers cannot be defined for the same playlist if their respective time and
date are too closed to each other, i.e. in the range [time-guardband,
time+guardband].
