Playlists can be created on-line or off-line, depending on whether a channel is
assigned to it or not.
• A playlist can be created on-line if a channel has been first assigned to the
Playlist Panel. The system immediately puts the playlist on-line on that EVS
server.
• An off-line playlist is a playlist created without associating it to a channel. You
can browse and play an off-line playlist on the Software Player.
The off-line playlist can also be made on-line afterwards. Refer to section
’How to Make a Playlist On-Line’ on page 33.
Note
When creating a playlist, different types of playlists can be defined:
Normal, Fill or Key. The following sections refer to Normal playlists. For
specificities of Fill and Key playlists, refer to section 2.3 ‘Fill and Key
Playlists’ on page 165.
