Guide to using Playlist application

2

Section (Text View)

Section (Thumbnail
View)

A list has at least one section, but can have up to 100. All events
belong to a section, and each section can have up to 1000 events. In
Thumbnail View, the section is displayed as a Time Dome which
shows the amount of the section that has played. An empty Time
Dome indicates the section has not started to play.
Sections can be expanded or collapsed to reveal or hide the events
that belong to the section. Expanded sections are indicated by a '-'
symbol.

Countdown Timecode

4

View tab

Displays the List tab.

5

Assignable Buttons

Assignable buttons allow you to modify the buttons located in the
Playlist toolbar to best suit your workflow. Holding down a button
opens the button pop-up menu that lists the alternative button
choices.

6

Time Cursor

The time cursor indicates the current play position. The time cursor
is displayed over the event currently being played.

7

Event List

The Event List contains play events.
Play events are created from clips or programs that can be added to
the list in two ways: drag and drop from the Clips pane or using the
Insert button in the Clips pane. By default, play events added to a list
inherit the source clip’s name, but you can rename events.
Play events and sections can be configured to trigger GPI outputs.
GPI triggers can be set to occur when the event or section starts,
ends, or at these points plus or minus some offset. A GPI trigger does
not disrupt playout of the play events that follow it.

See “Adding GPI

output triggers to playlists” on page 109

.

You can view the Event List in either the text view or thumbnail
view. Thumbnail view displays clip thumbnails along with Time
Domes for the list play progress, and section play progress. To
change the view, select Options in the Playlist menu.
