All types of clip elements may be separately loaded on the Software Player.
However, when the main line corresponding to the clip is selected, instead of a
clip element line, and loaded on the Control Panel, a single clip element will be
loaded according to the following priority rules:
• A lo-res clip element will be loaded before a hi-res clip element.
• A XT clip will be loaded before a file.
It means that when lo-res and hi-res XT clips and files exist, the following priority
rules apply:
1. lo-res clip
2. lo-res file
3. hi-res clip
4. hi-res file
