LAYLIST
The action of loading a playlist means that a channel must be associated to the
Playlist Panel to load a playlist on it.
When an off-line playlist is loaded in the Playlist Panel, it automatically becomes
on-line on the EVS server of the controlled channel.
When a distant playlist is loaded in the Playlist Panel, it is automatically copied to
the EVS server of the controlled channel.
There are several ways to load a playlist into the Playlist Panel. Proceed in one of
the ways described below.

• the user has the rights to control the channel,
• the control of the channel has not been given to a secondary controller.

message is displayed:
