Getting Started
II. DESCRIPTION
The 3040P-L Playlist Playout System consists of the ST400 with a large LCD
display and Playlist software. The Playlist is stored in non-volatile memory in
the ST400.
The 3040P-L is ideal as an On-Air Automation System backup as it doesn’t need
a separate video output; simply connect the 3040P-L to the video server. The
3040P-L supports 2000 elements, which means there can be up to 50 playlists
of 40 clips each or one list with 2000 elements. The 3040PL-LT List Transfer
supports 5 lists x 400 elements.
Scroll the list of available clips in the video server. Build a stack of clips for
individual playout or list playout. While a playlist is playing, insert new clips
into the list or delete unwanted clips. Set the start time for each clip to play
from.
