Scheduling Conflicts and Ripple

You can schedule several types of events at once, as long as they do not conflict with one
another. For example, you can schedule a playout and an overlay to run at the same time. Likewise
you can run a playout on one channel and a live stream on another channel. Scheduling a playout
and a live stream for the same channel at the same time, however, can cause a conflict.

If you schedule a conflict, the application will offer you options. Not all options are possible for all
conflicts.

Ripple – fit the event into the schedule and push everything else forward. This is a useful option if
the playout overlaps the next event by just a few seconds.

Ripple stops at midnight. If an earlier event is rippled, then any event scheduled over the
midnight hour will end at midnight, even if there is a schedule gap at 00:00:00.

If you ripple an event at 19:00:00 so the next event starts at 20:00:05, then all subsequent
playouts will start 5 seconds late until midnight or until the web application finds a gap of 5 or
more seconds, whichever comes first.

Ripple pushes playout events forward, but not overlay events.
