Creating a test playlist
If you need to test the playout, you can create a playlist on the fly using the controls on the
Playlist Editing Controls toolbar. Normally, these tools are hidden by default since the
playlist will be obtained from GV STRATUS Playout once the card is synced with it.
You can have two types of events: primary events which are the main focus of the
broadcast and secondary events which play with the primary event and provide ancillary
information such network logos, graphics, or voiceovers. To create a playlist, you add at
least one primary event to the playlist and then add other primary or secondary events as
desired.
To create a playlist:
1 From the menu, click Playlist. The Playlist page opens.
2 To show the Playlist Editing Controls toolbar, click the Show Edit Controls button.
3 To add a Primary Event to the playlist, click the type of event you want to add from the
Primary Events section. For more information, see
4 To add a Secondary Event to the playlist, click the type of event you want to add from
the Secondary Events section. For more information, see
5 To delete an event from the playlist, click the event in the channel grid at the bottom of
the screen and click Delete.
6 To clear all the events from the playlist, click Delete All.
