ECHANISM

When the END CUE mode is activated, the GPI is sent every time the playlist

stops, which means:

at the end of the playlist, except if the loop mode is activated and the start

mode option of the first element is set to Automatically.

every time a still mode option (Stop on Last, Stop on Last, Wait, Jump on

First or Stop on First) is set on an element.

Refer to section ‘Define Still/Start Mode Window’ on page 89 for more information
on these options.

End-Cue Characteristics

The END CUE duration is independent of the speed of the playlist. This means

that the GPI will be sent a period of time, corresponding to the END CUE

duration, before the playlist stops whatever the speed of the element may be.

The GPI is not necessarily sent during the playout of the element where the

playlist will stops as the END CUE duration can be greater than the element
duration.

The END CUE GPI is not sent if the END CUE duration is greater than the

remaining time until next break.

The END CUE duration as well as the END CUE GPI can be modified at any

time, should the END CUE mode be activated or not.

The END CUE mode is activated for a channel and not for a specific playlist.

The END CUE GPI and duration can be different for each channel.

The END CUE GPI is only sent in transmission mode, when the playlist is

being played out, not in Edit mode.

The END CUE mode is automatically turned off when the Multicam starts as

there is no reason to keep a mode from a previous use of an EVS server.
