causes the join-in-progress point to move back to the end of the last event on the main
schedule stream:
Skipping or deleting an event before a join-in-progress event
You may skip or delete an event in the main schedule stream. Because of the fixed start time of
the join-in-progress event, this may leave a gap in the schedule:
While the live event remains on air, the join-in-progress event may close the gap as it moves
along the timeline. If this happens, playout continues normally.
If you take the manual event to air before the gap closes, the resulting schedule underrun may
cause a break in playout in the channel.
Deleting an event in the main schedule stream, when the two streams overlap, causes the join-
in-progress point to move forward to the end of the last event on the main stream:
Deleting the manual event
If you delete the manual event in the main schedule stream when the live event is on air, the
following event is taken to air immediately.
The join-in-progress point moves with the last event on the main stream. It identifies the new
point where the join-in-progress stream is to be merged with the main schedule stream.
This diagram shows three events in the main schedule screen at the moment the manual event
is removed:
