Functions or Playout Effects’ on page67.
• Defining audio and/or video transition effect
See also section 1.6.1 ‘Adding audio and/or video effects’ on page 56.
• Defining still/start mode

playlist’ on page 61.
• Resetting transition to default
See also section 1.6.4 ‘Resetting Playout parameters to default’ on page 67.
Macro commands are ‘user-specific’, i.e. you may define your own set of macro
commands.
Up to ten macro commands can be configured, from number 0 to 9. This is done
through Tools > Settings > Playlist > Playlist / Macro commands. Refer to
section 1.8.4 ‘Playlist Macro Commands Settings’ on page 108 for more
information on how to configure or modify the playlist macro commands.
A macro command can only be applied
• to a selected element in a playlist panel or
• to a playlist element loaded on a control panel
Note
In case a macro command configuration is changed, tags and transition
effects which have previously been applied through a macro command
will not be changed.
