flexibility in the playout of a playlist. It allows automatic starts or freezes within a

list. It enables external triggers to start the list and elements to be played at a
predetermined time.

Default values are defined in the Tools > Settings > Playlist > Playlist / Default
Transition category. Refer to section 1.8.2 ‘Default Transition Settings’ on page
104 for details on the settings options.
