LAYLIST
Opening a playlist in the Playlist Panel consists of displaying all playlist
information in the Playlist Panel, when no channel is associated to it. It is then in
“Idle” state. All functions are dimmed and inactive with the exception of the
Channel Name field, which can be accessed. Elements can be added, removed
and re-ordered, transition types and durations can be modified but the playlist
cannot be viewed or played on the EVS server output or on the Software Player.
When a channel has been associated to the Playlist Panel, a playlist can be
loaded on it and played back to air.
