column in the channel grid, which will reflect the difference between the scheduled time of
the event and the actual time the event went on air. As long as the channel is in hold, the
time delta will increase and affect the remaining events in the schedule.
To absorb the time delta, you need to make an adjustment later in the schedule. You can
make the adjustment by selecting an event which is long enough to cover the time
difference, is at least 60 seconds in duration, and can support losing the required amount of
time to allow the time delta to be absorbed. After clicking the event you are using to absorb
the time delta, the JIP button appears. When you click the JIP button, the selected event
will be identified by “(JIP)” in the Duration column in the channel grid. When the JIP event
comes to air, the beginning of the event is cut the amount of time equal to the time delta,
therefore absorbing the time difference. After the JIP event, the Delta column should be
empty.
For example, you had an event on hold that resulted in a time delta of 10 seconds. You click
a clip later in the schedule that is 60 seconds long and click the JIP button. When it comes
time for the clip to air, the clip starts 10 seconds in. After the clip plays, the values in the
Delta column are cleared.
To absorb a time delta:
1 In the top menu, click Channel Control.
2 In the Select View list, click the view that you want displayed in the left pane.
3 Click one of the following:
• All Channels: to select a channel from a list of all the channels in the selected view.
To filter the column, click Contains in the column you want to search and type the
text or character that you want to use in the search.
• Channel Hierarchy: to select a channel from list of all the channels in the selected
view organized by their channel hierarchies.
4 In the channel grid, click the event that you want to use to absorb the time delta. It
must be long enough to cover the time difference, be at least 60 seconds in duration,
and can support having its beginning cut the amount of time equal to the time delta.
5 Click JIP.
Viewing the count down to a specific event
The Count To timer on the Now Next display has two modes: Next and Selected. When the
Next mode is enabled, the Next button is blue and the Count To timer displays a
countdown to when the next event in the schedule will go on air. When the Selected mode
is enabled, the Selected button is blue and the timer counts down to when the event you
have selected in the channel grid will go on air.
