For example, if the Post-Roll duration is set to 2 sec, the element will be played after
its OUT point during 2 sec at the speed defined.
•
The Post-Roll duration can be shortened if there is not enough A/V material in the
guardband. In this case, the playout will freeze on the Protect OUT point of the playlist
element.
For example, if the Post-Roll duration is set to 3 sec, if the guardband length of the
element is 2 sec, and if the speed of the element is 100%, the element will be played
during 2 sec after its OUT point and stops on its Protect OUT point. If its speed is
50%, there will be enough material to play during the 3 sec of Post-Roll duration.
•
The Post-Roll duration can be modified at any time, should the Post-Roll option be
activated or not.
•
The Post-Roll is activated for a channel and not for a specific playlist.
•
The playlist transport commands are available during the Post-Roll duration.
6.14.4. Remaining Time Information
The Remaining Time until Next Transition and the Remaining Time until Next
Break value values do not take the Post-Roll duration into account.

remaining time until the OUT point.
They are equal to zero on the OUT point.
They increase after the OUT point. The OSD mentions the duration played out after the
OUT point with the "+" sign.
