Monitoring a List as it Runs

Events you enter in the Monitor view are performed at their appointed times.
The current House Time is displayed at the top of the window. You can monitor
the progress of events on each channel in the channel panels. Each panel shows:

Air Time.

The timecode of the current frame of material.

Duration.

The duration of the current material.

Time Till Next Event.

This clock counts down the time until the next

scheduled event.

The current event is highlighted in green for easy identification; a cued event, it
is highlighted in yellow.

Validating a List

The master list is validated automatically every few minutes. You should
manually check any other list to make sure that you haven’t scheduled
conflicting events using the same Profile resources. To validate a list:

• Choose

Validate List

from the

Options

menu or from the shortcut menu

with a right-click.

If a conflict arises, the word Error appears in the Status (left-most) column next
to an invalid event. Three errors are at the root:

1. The media does not exit. As a solution, bring in the correct media or verify

that the name is correct.

2. There is a conflict for a channel resource. For example, a channel resource

would generate an error if it is scheduled for use at the same time by two or
more events. To solve this problem, change the events so that they don’t
attempt to use the resource at the same time.

3. The media is not long enough, that is, the media is shorter than the duration

of the event. To fix this, shorten the duration of the event to match the media.
