Description

When player channels are associated to IPEdit, the so-called Lock Timeline mode is
automatically activated in IPDirector. The Lock Timeline mode prevents you and other

mode, which means that:

Other users will still have the possibility to use both PGMs in another instance of
IPEdit.

You and other users will have the possibility to load a timeline in a Control Panel.

You and other users will NOT be allowed to use one of the assigned PGMs to play a clip in
the Control Panel, or to load a playlist in the Playlist Panel, or in any use other than the
timeline mode.
