URPOSE
The Post-Roll is the ability to play an element a few seconds after its defined OUT
point, as far as there is enough A/V material in the guardband.
The purpose of using Post-Roll is:
• to provide a countdown until the OUT point of the playlist element through the
Remaining Time until Next Transition value to allow the operator to know
when to switch to another device, and
• to continue the playout after the OUT point in order not to freeze before the
operator performs the transition from the playlist.

EACTIVATION
The Post-Roll mode can be activated or deactivated through the Post-Roll
contextual menu or by double-clicking the Post-Roll area. This Post-Roll area
indicates whether a post roll is activated or not.
The Post-Roll mode can also be activated for the next transition only. In this case,
the option is automatically deactivated after the Post-Roll duration.
If it is activated, permanently or temporarily for the next transition only, the Post-
Roll duration is displayed in the Post-Roll area and the background of the zone is
green.
If it is not activated, the area displays ‘POST ROLL is OFF’ and the background of
the zone is grey.
