• If you intend to replace a secondary event, click the event you want to replace.
• If you intend to add a secondary event to a primary event, click the primary event.
• If you intend to add a secondary event to the last primary event in the playlist, you
can skip to the next step.

• External VO: plays an audio-only media feed in AES format (110 or 75 ohm).
• Graphic: displays a animated image (GMJ format).
• F&K: displays a Fill&Key graphic overlay.
• Logo: displays an uncompressed cel animation or still in OXT or OXA format less
