On-air Time Parameter
The on-air time is one of the parameters which can be displayed in a column. It is then
mentioned for each element and provides information about when an element will be
played out to air.
The on-air time calculation takes into account:
• The start time and position in the playlist
• The effect durations in the list
• The speed of the elements in the playlist
If the on-air time cannot be calculated (e.g. due to still and start modes used in the list), "-
-:--:--:--" is displayed.
