The "lock on-air position" mode is activated or de-activated by clicking the Lock on-air
position button. When activated, the button background color becomes blue.
The mode is automatically reset when:
• the user scrolls in the playlist, or
• a clip, a train, a timeline or a growing clip is loaded on the channel, and consequently,
the playlist is unloaded.
The Lock on-air button is dimmed and unavailable in each of the following cases:
• no channel is associated to the playlist panel
• no playlist is loaded
• the on-air element is not visible on the playlist panel.
Auxiliary Clip Name Area
This area indicates whether an auxiliary audio clip is associated to the playlist or not.
If an auxiliary clip is associated, the area displays the name and LSM ID of the clip.
If no auxiliary clip is associated, the area displays "No Auxiliary clip":
See section "Associating an Auxiliary Audio Clip to a Playlist" on page 118 for more
details on the AuxClip function.
Append Zone
The Append zone can be used to append elements such as clips, growing clips or
playlists to the playlist associated to the Playlist Panel. This is done by a drag-and-drop
operation from the Database Explorer. See section "Appending an Element at the End of a
Playlist" on page 62.
This cannot be used to append timelines to a playlist.
Total Playlist Duration
The total playlist duration area is shown if this has been set under Tools > Settings >
Playlist > Colors. It is displayed even if the playlist is not cued.
The duration takes the following parameters into account:
• the duration of all the playlist elements
• the speed of the playlist elements
• the transition effects duration
