The playlist is normally created and managed from GV STRATUS Playout. However, the
Playlist page contains a toolbar of controls, called Live Controls, that allows you to interrupt
the playlist with a live event.
To interrupt the playlist with a live feed:
1 From the menu, click Playlist. The Playlist page opens.

Un-Drop Selected Replaces the dropped event back into its place in
the playlist.
This control can be used when you have a choice of
several events for a time slot, but are unsure which
should be placed in the playlist. The events can be
left in a dropped state until decision is made and
the chosen event can be un-dropped.

On-air threshold. The previous event is replaced on
air in progress until the Take Next button is clicked.
This is usually only used in the case that an event
was accidentally placed on-air too early.
