Exit Loop Triggers
In case of counter loop, the loop will be automatically exited when the counter is
null and the first element after the loop will be played.
In case of infinite loop, the loop will “infinitely” be played.
However, there are several ways to trigger an exit loop mode:
Using the GoTo Element button
The GoTo Element button is a quick way to exit a partial loop and jumps on the
selected element, according to the selected Exit Loop mode, i.e. as soon as
possible or when the OUT point of the current element is reached.
Refer to section ‘How to Manually Exit a Partial Loop Using the GoTo Element
Button’ on page 84.
Using a GPI
The loop will be exited when a GPI trigger is received on the corresponding XT[2]
server (the one the playlist is to be played on). The first element just after the
loop is then played taking into account its still/start modes, transition effects,
speed, tags.
The GPI number and its trigger mode are defined in the Tools > Settings > Input
GPIs category.
The Exit Loop mode applied is based on the selected GPI action type:
“EXITASAP” or “EXITOUT”. Refer to section Settings – Input GPIs in part 1 of the
manual for more information on how to assign actions to input GPIs.
Using a jump-on-time condition
If a jump on time is set on any element of the current playlist outside the loop, the
loop is exited ASAP, at the date and time defined and the element with the jump-
on-time condition is then played taking into account its transition effects, speed,
tags. Refer to section 1.6.3 ‘Stopping and/or Starting automatically the playout of
a playlist’ on page 61 for more information on that topic.
