Overriding Events in a List
Not every operation in your environment can be predicted to the second. In
some instances, you’ll want to be able to interrupt an event as it’s playing, or
stop a list completely. List Manager provides you with the tools you need to
meet these challenges.
Taking an Event
As your list executes, you may want to manually choose a particular event and
start playing it immediately. For example, you may have inserted a very long
Switch event to use a live feed, but you now want to run a commercial. List
Manager lets you immediately use any event in your list.
1. Schedule your list normally.
2. Monitor the list by clicking the Monitor tab. Make sure you can see the
channel that will execute the event you wish to take.
3. Highlight the event that you want to use immediately.
4. Click the Take button. The event begins five seconds later.
5. The list will continue running all the events which would normally be
performed after the Take event. It will not return to the event that was
interrupted, unless you highlight that event and use the
Take button again.
NOTE: An Approx event type is not a scheduled event. You must take
an event of type Approx to run it.
Stopping an Event
List Manager provides a way to stop a event at any time. You can use the Stop
button to interrupt the event on the current channel. To stop an event:
1. Locate the event which is currently being executed (highlighted in green)
and select the event.
2. Click the Stop button to stop the event.
3. After a few seconds, the event will stop and the video output will display
black.
