Appendix: Join In Progress (JIP)
JIP requires following software versions:

K2 Edge from version 4.0.2

Cobalt Playout Control (POC) from version 2.85

Channel Composer from version 1.6.2
The Join In Progress (JIP) feature allows for a second, high priority Playlist to temporarily override the
normal Playlist’s output and when finished, join again with the normal Playlist that kept on running in
the background. JIP works for any situation where a relatively short Playlist, for example breaking
news, needs temporary control over the main program. The latter is merely suppressed and continues
in the background until taking over again.
JIP works in combination with the primary HD/SD Channel and can also be used in a simulcast setup.
22.1 Setting up JIP
Setting up JIP consists of the following steps:

Activate JIP via the IP Manager.

Define a JIP Channel in TX/MAM.

Define JIP-templates plus the jipOff template in Channel Composer.

Optional: create Format Rules to replace normal formats with JIP-formats for the JIP Channel.
22.1.1 Activating the JIP Channel via the IP Manager
 Open the IP Manager web interface; enter the IP Manager's IP-address in a web browser and
log in.
 Go to Channel Configuration > Enable JIP channel > select On.
 Click Set > Activate. Note that activating changes will interrupt playout.
