Keep in mind not to change the JIP Playlist within 10 seconds before it ends, since the jipOff template

is preloaded in these 10 seconds.

The quality of restoring to normal output depends on the jipOff template. If incomplete, or not defined

at all, normal output cannot be restored.

To create JIP-templates:

 In Channel Composer, define the templates and formats for the JIP channel design.

o Make sure these templates use dedicated (player) objects.

o Also note that JIP Objects should be placed on higher layers (this can be checked in

the Channel Composer Objects window) than the Objects used in the templates for

normal playout.

 Create a jipOff template that stops all the players used in the JIP-templates. Note that the

name for this template (jipOff) is fixed.

 Export and activate the Channel Pack to both the primary Channel (broadcast set 0) and the

JIP Channel (broadcast set 4). Note that the normal and JIP Playlists use the same Channel

Pack. You can also activate the Pack in a later stage.

22.1.4 Simulcast

To allow for Channel differences in a simulcast setup, different jipOff templates can be defined for

each of the two Channels by adding a channel number suffix to the template name as shown below:

Template name

Description

jipOff

Automatically triggered when returning to normal output. Works for any Channel.

Only used when no dedicated channel specific template could be found.

jipOff-chan0

Automatically triggered when returning to normal output on the first channel. If

not found, template jipOff is used instead.

jipOff-chan1

Automatically triggered when returning to normal output on the second channel.

If not found, template jipOff is used instead.
