10.8 Adding applets to a Format
To add an applet to a Format, open the relevant Format on the Format Timeline.
Then drag the applet from the Projects window upon the Format Timeline.
10.9 Timing applets
 On the Format Timeline expand the applet's properties first, if applicable; click the icon behind
the applet.
 Select Timing Mode; click the arrow icons. Following options can be set:
 From start: absolute timing offset in hh:mm:ss:ff from start
 From end: absolute timing offset in hh:mm:ss:ff from end
 Relative: timing offset in percentage from start
 Not active: not active
 Pre Event: the applet is executed before the Event is checked by playout distri (the applet is used
to write Event information back to the database).
 Subtitle: almost the same as pre Event; the applet is executed before the Event is checked by
playout distri, the first parameter is executed by sequencer at Event start, the start time in the
parameter is replaced by the start time of the Event.
 Post Asset: the applet is executed after the Asset has been checked by playout distri (note for
applet developers: this applet can use shared memory*).
 Pre Asset: the applet is executed before the Asset has been checked by playout distri (note for
applet developers: this applet can use shared memory*).
(*Note for applet developers: for extra information concerning the Asset, shared memory can be used,
also to supply playout distri with information.)
 Specify Timing Offset: enter values manually or move the applet on the Timeline to specify the
timing offset.
