The playlists made up using the Playlist Panel can be created in an off-line state.
A playlist is off-line when it has been created by IPDirector, but has not yet been
sent to the XNet server network. Such a playlist is only defined in the IPDirector
database, and can only be seen in IPDirector.
A playlist becomes on-line once it is loaded on an EVS server channel, and thus
is present on an EVS server.

Playlist advanced functions can be used, which means that playlists with different
transition effects between elements can be created in contrast to simple clip-lists
from the Control Panel. A variety of playout effects can be defined such as audio
and/or video transition effects, different playout speed, skipping an element,
looping playlist elements. Different stop or start options can be programmed for
the different elements of a playlist. Tags can be defined on playlist elements at
specific timecode to carry out specific audio or video actions during playout.
