Various transport functions are available in auto-chain mode to
shift the auto-chain play mode on to a clip than is not the next
one in the sequence.
The transport functions are executed in the following way:
Double-click: Double-clicking a clip preloads it onto the
player channel. The operator needs to use the
Play shortcut (P) to play the clip.
Click: Clicking a clip loads it onto the player channel
and plays it immediately.
CTRL+Click: Clicking a clip with the CTRL key pressed
plays the selected clip when the current one is
played out.

The operator can open several Database Explorer windows and
use them in auto-chain mode with the same player channel or
with different player channel assigned.
If different players are assigned, they will be considered as
independent from each other. Using the auto-chain mode in one
of the window will not affect the second open Database Explorer
window.
If the same player is assigned, the Data Explorer window on
which the auto-chain mode has been used last is considered as
the master window. It has the lead over the player channel.
Using two Database Explorer windows assigned to the same
player channel leads to the following possible situations:
• When the operator performs a search on the master
Database Explorer window, the current clip is played out and
the first clip of the search results is automatically chained.
• When the operator performs a search in the secondary Data
Explorer window, this does not impact the auto-chain in the
master window. The operator needs to activate the auto-
chain to take the lead over the player channel and start
playing the clips in auto-chain mode.
