Transition Effect Macro Command

When a macro command corresponding to a transition effect action (define
audio/video transition effect, define Still/Start mode, reset transition to default) is
applied to a playlist element, the macro command is applied on corresponding
elements from linked playlists.

L

IMITATIONS

In certain circumstances, the macro command will not be applied:

In case of multiselection, the macro command will be applied to all the elements
of the selection, except when a macro command corresponding to GPI, Mute On

or Mute Off is linked to the current position.

If the ‘Link to’ parameter is set to ‘current position’ and this position is not

known, because:

o

the playlist is off-line

o

the playlist is on-line but not loaded on a channel

o

the playlist element has been trimmed and the ‘Current Position’ selected in
the Settings is no more between the IN and OUT points of the element.

If a GPI is not configured as OUTPUT GPI on the XT, an error message is
displayed.

LAYOUT

You can decide to skip one or more elements during playout. Proceed as follows:

1.

Press the SKIP button

or the

key when the playlist is playing

the element before the one you want to skip.

As the event on-air is highlighted in dark green; and the next event to air in
light green, elements which will be skipped are located between these two
highlighted lines.

2.

Repeat step 1 as many times as you want elements to be skipped. If the
SKIP button is pressed twice, the next two elements will be skipped, and so
on.
