The Timeline Display
If the local time has an offset from UTC of 2 hours, the timezone-offset box shows "+2":
If the local time is adjusted for DST, the timezone-offset box shows this together with any
offset from UTC:
You can add events to the current schedule by dragging and dropping media items from the
Content Selector onto the Timeline Display.
Adding an event to a schedule by dropping an asset onto the Timeline
Display
When you drag an asset (or other schedule item) from the Content Selector and drop it onto
the Timeline Display, the point where you drop the asset affects where iTX locates the resulting
new event in the current schedule:
•
You may drop the asset in a clear part of the Timeline Display. iTX adds the new event to
the end of the schedule and displays it on an appropriate track.
•
You may drop the asset on top of a primary event that is already in the schedule. iTX adds
the event as a secondary event of that primary event. On the Timeline Display, the events
appear alongside each other on separate tracks.
Tracking an event on the Timeline Display
In the following illustrations we track the movement of a video-clip event, featuring Clip X,
along the Timeline Display as iTX plays out a schedule. The block that represents the event
changes color to indicate the current event status.
Event status: Ready
The event represented by the red block is on air; the events, represented by the grey blocks, to
the left of this have taken place. The Clip-X event block is white; this shows that the clip is
available for playout.
