Playing out or Playing Back a Playlist with Virtual
Elements
Playout on a Player Channel
When a playlist still containing virtual elements is being played out on a Player channel,
the virtual elements will be skipped in the playout.
Playback on the Software Player
When a playlist containing virtual elements is being played on the Software Player, the
latter will try to play all elements. Consequently, the playback will stop on a virtual playlist
element and the video display will show an image with the "virtual element" comment. To
continue the playback, you need to manually cue and play the next element.
Replace Process of Virtual Playlist Elements
Whether the playlist is on-line or off-line, the system will check for a clip element with the
same ID as the virtual element. If a clip element with the same ID is found, it will replace
the virtual element.
Note
The ID refers to the VarID or element ID, depending on the type of ID group
defined in the Remote Installer. For more information, refer to the IPDirector
Technical Reference manual.
In the replace process:
• The system selects the physical clip element that will replace the virtual element,
applying the priorities defined in the table below.
• The clip element that replaces the virtual element is not automatically restored, if it
needs to. The users themselves decide whether to restore or not the elements on an
EVS server.
